Bite Club: Indian fare meets Mexican food at Tikka N Taco
A mashup of Indian cuisine and the Valley's ubiquitous Mexican fare has arrived at a new restaurant in north Phoenix.
State of play: Indian-Mexican fusion restaurant Tikka N Taco opened earlier this year on 19th Avenue just north of Peoria Avenue.
Best bites: I ordered lamb tacos and masala nachos.
The lamb was delicious and tender, complemented by the tacos' creamy sauce.
And the nachos — I never would've thought to put masala on tortilla chips, but it worked.
Zoom out: Tikka N Taco isn't the only Indian-Mexican fusion in the Valley. Taco Papi in north Scottsdale offers Indian tacos and Basmati rice bowls, though most of the menu is more traditional Mexican fare.
