Tasty Tuesday: Firewood Restaurant

Firewood Restaurant joint is located in Murphys, CA and  I heard it used to be a Mexican restaurant, but they’ve been opened since 2001. Now it’s more like a pizza joint / Mexican as they serve delicious  looking pizza as well as  tacos and such.

The atmosphere is casual filled with tourists during lunch hours and a big window for people watching and enjoying the sunlight.

This isn’t your sit down and order type a place, but instead you walk up to the counter where you order and pay there. I just ordered the Taco Meal $6.95 where you get to choose two tacos and it comes with rice and beans. What two tacos did I choose? I chose the chicken and fish. I would’ve went with two chicken taco but I decided to be adventurous and try the fish.

We found some upstairs seating where you get a pretty cool view  of the restaurant from above. “G” got plenty of salsa for me downstairs and I was surprised at their selections. The salsa is not like the ones from the jar, but the ones here are legit. There are actual roasted chili pepper and has a dark color to it which gives it that nice kick.
Also I forgot to mention, there was a cool artwork of a special dog on the walls of the restaurant and we were all wondering why it looked so familiar. Then it hit us! It was an actual dog we saw as we were driving through Sheepranch! I suppose that dog is famous because it looked like she had Tina Turner’s hairdo!

Don’t expect your ordered to be delivered anytime soon because when I was here there was only 1 staff serving. There was a group sitting behind us and they have been sitting there for quite some time and our party got some of their orders while that other party still didn’t. Thought the wait was long, I was satisfied with my tacos. I didn’t care much for the black beans topped with melted cheese nor the dry Mexican rice.

I tried the fish taco first and my gosh, the fish was fried to perfection and the tartar sauce really complemented it. I wished I ordered two, but the shredded chicken tacos was tasty as well. The chicken was seasoned just right and the texture was almost that of pulled pork. Super moist, juicy, and tender.
