 Last week's Pirates game was a distant memory when the real hunger games began—a post-middle school pick-up with my kid who was absolutely famished, and my better half chimed in with equal fervor. Our usual haunts seemed unbearably mundane, and the mere mention of another Chipotle run along McKnight Road brought to mind visions of a fast-food free-for-all that neither of us was keen to revisit. That's when the culinary stars aligned, guiding us to Doce Taqueria.

Nestled on McKnight Road, Doce Taqueria was like finding an oasis in a desert of the usual fast-food joints. We decided to go all in—steak tacos, chicken tacos, and even some vegetarian bean tacos for a twist. 

But the real game-changer was the Nacho Grande, a towering accomplishment of chips loaded with fresh, locally sourced toppings that made us feel like we were actually doing something good for our bodies. My son's verdict sealed the deal: "Wow, I actually feel like what we ate was healthy." High praise indeed from the teenage contingent!

What really set Doce apart wasn't just the freshness but the flavors. Each taco was a revelation, particularly with the addition of lime wedges that infused each bite with a zesty, citrusy zing. 

Opting for the flour tortillas, we found them perfectly soft yet sturdy enough to handle the generous fillings without a breach. It was the kind of meal that left us satisfied without the usual fast-food guilt—flavorful, fresh, and undeniably authentic.

Doce Taqueria on McKnight isn't just another taco spot; it's a reminder of how fast-casual can and should be—authentic, fresh, and with enough zest to brighten your day. Next time the hunger hits post-game or post-school, skip the usual spots and head straight for Doce. It’s a culinary win on any day.
