Fuzzy's Taco Shop

A restaurant review of the Fort Worth area wouldn’t be complete without mentioning Fuzzy’s Taco Shop, well at least for TCU students anyway. Fuzzy’s is the home to many nights of watching football games and lots of loud cheering. Located on 2917 W. Berry Street, Fuzzy’s Taco Shop is within walking distance from many TCU classes and is often a bustling hot spot during the lunch hour. With tables inside and out, Fuzzy’s offers customers a chance to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air or gather around a television screen inside and watch the game.

The menu takes a while to read, with lots of choices including everything from tacos, (of course!) to burritos, salads, grilled sandwiches, and even breakfast burritos.

The famous Baja tacos are topped with lettuce, tomatoes, cilantro, cheese, feta, and garlic sauce. You can order regular or habanera, soft or crispy shells. Meat choices range from fish, chicken, shredded beef, shrimp, grilled veggie, and ground beef. With so many choices you just might have to try them all. With the addition of feta cheese and cilantro these tacos are not just your everyday tacos, they offer a little something extra.

Soft drinks, orange juice, bottled water, tea, and of course draft beer and margaritas are available to satisfy your thirst.

The décor of Fuzzy’s Taco Shop is built on a yellow, red, and green color scheme with an emphasis on the yellow. It’s not a fancy restaurant, more of a college joint that is taking off and opening stores all over the Dallas/Fort Worth area. You walk in, form a line, and place your order at one side of the restaurant and then proceed to get your beverage and pick up your fresh made entrée. Wooden benches, “picnic like” tables, and a few round tables and bar stools make up the majority of the seating.

If you are want you can order Fuzzy’s promotional items, everything from koozies, to t-shirts and tank tops. All items have the signature scary looking shark/piranha kind of fish with his mouth open and “Eat me!” on quite a few items.

The first Fuzzy’s taco shop opened in July of 2003 when “four guys were hanging out complaining about the expensive beer and food they were having.” The idea stemmed from a desire to open a hip taco joint where everyone could enjoy a cold beer and a tasty taco without breaking the bank. The idea has taken off and Fuzzy’s is popping up all over. So the next time you are craving a cold beer and taco, pop on in to Fuzzy’s and bite into something delicious!
