Taco-Mac Beer, Burritos and MORE BEER!!

Beer! Glorious beer, so tasty and scrumptious!! *Cough!* So... I went to Taco-Mac in the hopes of a tasty evening meal after work at KSU. The ambiance inside the place is quite the contrast to the form-follows-function exterior. You get the "feel" of a sports bar when you walk in. Numerous TV's dot the walls, neon lights for various beer brands light up the area...then there is the wall of fame. Adorning one wall of this restaurant is a wide assortment of beer taps. Not just one row, but from waist height to ceiling, rows upon rows of beer taps. Above these are plaques for the people who have tasted at least 300 of the varieties of beer they carry. Next to the wall of taps is an equally impressive wall covered with reach-in cooler with every variety of beer you could possibly conceive of and more.
I sat down at the bar in front of this shrine to beer and was greeted immediately by the bartender. I ordered the flying gonzo stout beer, delicious dark brew with a rich body and full flavor that sent my mouth on overload. For food, I ordered a half pound of the boneless chicken wings with habanero bbq sauce. Just before the wings arrived, I ordered the Sweetwatter Happy Ending stout beer, another delicious move. The wings were spicy, tangy, sweet, with a good crunch and a slow burn that lingered until I dipped them in the HOMEMADE ranch dressing.
For dessert, I ordered the chocolate chimichange, a deep fried burrito filled with chocolate, nice flavor. The chocolate was diminished somewhat by frying, but the caramel sauce and vanilla bean ice cream really brought out the better flavors of the dessert.
Overall, this was a very good meal and I really enjoyed the environment. One a side note, beer connoisseurs-> this place is HEAVEN. They have a four page list of beers to choose from with accurate descriptions and pricing.
