Bad Bean Taqueria and Cantina offers a fresh take on Mexican cuisine in a friendly, modern atmosphere for lunch and dinner. Consider starting out with an order of chips, salsa and guacamole or try the delicious queso dip. Bad Bean also offers the southern favorite, “Shrimp and Grits” as appetizer. Check out the daily specials before deciding from the menu.
Bad Bean offers a build-your-own approach to burritos. You’ll select from the menu to create your own generously stuffed masterpiece. The burritos come in two sizes and can be stuffed with your choice of chicken, pork, beef brisket, mahi mahi, shrimp and roasted sweet pepper (a vegetarian option) to start. Then stuff it with toppings, such as beans, rice, lettuce, cheese, sour cream and a variety of salsas ranging mild, medium, hot and verde.
Enjoy the same fresh ingredients in tacos, quesadillas and enchiladas. Bad Bean offers a creative take on salads as well, including a BLT Quesadilla Salad and a Jalapeno Caesar Salad.
The dinner menu includes grilled items, such as the House Smoked and Chipotle BBQ Glazed Grilled Bone-In Pork Chop or the Ancho Cumin Spice Rubbed Baby Back Rib. A fresh catch of the day also is offered.
Party packs and catering are available, call ahead to pre-order. Takeout is available, as well. The dining room is kid-friendly and big enough to handle large groups.
Friday nights, Bad Bean offers a special menu of delightful tapas. Saturday nights, the bar draws a lively crowd and is a good place to enjoy a drink and good company while listening to live music. You’ll enjoy Bad Bean's large selection of tequila and specialty drinks.
