Now It's a Taqueria

The Italian place up on the west side
We used to go every Friday night
Linguini, Gnochi, the best you could get
But the building changed hands and the menu reset

The pasta’s gone – it’s tortillas instead
Same goes for the garlic bread
Threw out the wine list – they’re pouring sangria
Now it’s a taqueria
Now it’s a taqueria

The Thai restaurant – that place was nice
Thom Kau Gai and pineapple rice
Wonderful service, we loved the staff
But the owners left town and they never looked back

You can grab a burrito if you’re in a hurry
Say goodbye to the spicy red curry
Pork dumplings are out - we order carnitas
Now it’s a taqueria
Now it’s a taqueria

I’ll eat habanero as much as I’m able
I love guacamole made there at your table
But choices have limits in our little town
They ran one cuisine straight into the ground

By now you’re hungry – I see it on your face
If you’re looking for options, you’re in the wrong place
The food here it’s good, but there’s only one kind
If you want Greek or Indian you’re wasting your time

But if you like pozole or hand-rolled tortillas
Fresh chile verde from homegrown tomatillos
Pick any restaurant - I know where I’ll see ya
Now it’s a taqueria
Now it’s a taqueria
Now it’s a taqueria
Now it’s a taqueria
Now it’s a taqueria
Now it’s a taqueria
