Crafted

After spending the afternoon at the High Point Furniture Market, we drove back to Greensboro and had a late lunch at Crafted, a taco joint in downtown Greensboro. My mom read that the restaurant was relatively new and wanted to take me and Ken there for their tacos (although I wanted to take Ken to Cookout, he wanted to go to Chik-fil-A, and I also wanted to get baby back ribs from The Fresh Market – too many places to visit on such a short weekend trip!)

We started out with their applewood smoked bacon that’s candied and has a spicy chocolate dipping sauce:

There was way too much sugar on the bacon (we peeled it off), but for $7.50, this was way too expensive for hard bacon bits.

Next, we had the grilled avocado with chorizo, pico de gallo, and cheese with tortilla chips:

For our main entree, we ordered the lobster taco (the Beanie):

This was a cold taco with small bits of lobster meat (I think I had a piece that was slightly icy because it was SO cold I couldn’t even eat it). This dish also had some pickles on it, which I thought was not a great addition to the taco. I wouldn’t order this if I went back.

We also ordered the bowtie taco, a fish taco with roasted corn and honey mustard:

The fried fish was nicely crisped but the rest of the dish was too sweet and really not edible. I think we must’ve ordered the wrong dishes because everyone speaks so highly of this restaurant; if we come back again during our next visit to Greensboro, I think we’ll stick to the original fish taco (with cilantro, radishes and avocados) instead of the fancy tacos.
