Woody's Tacos

By Zach Middleton

210 W Evergreen Blvd., Suite 700, Vancouver, Wash., 360-718-8193, woodystacos.com. Lunch and dinner Monday-Saturday.

With gleeful green mountains of chopped lettuce and Day-Glo orange shredded cheese, the plates at Woody's Tacos are often brazenly Tex-Mex, but influences from Baja and other Mexican regions make the menu a hard thing to pin down. Woody's makes their own tortillas, and their bottles of salsa are as oily and palate-searing as those at any taco stand in D.F. But then, the beer list at the counter had brews from Ex Novo and Backwoods Brewing. It's like the Canadian tuxedo of Mexican food. But sit down with one of their massive grilled shrimp tacos, a shredded beef tostada and a beer, and you'll realize whatever they're doing, it works.
