Poolhouse Group is opening its first permanent location of ‘Poolboy Taco’ in Phoenix!
If you’re not already familiar, Poolhouse Group is the hospitality company behind Gadzooks Enchiladas & Soup, led by Aaron Pool.
Poolboy Taco has gained popularity by making appearances at local events and the Aspen Food & Wine Festival.
The new standalone restaurant is said to take over the former Gadzooks near 40th Street & Camelback Road. The menu focuses on “personality-driven tacos” served on the restaurant’s signature “50/50” tortilla that’s a blend of corn and flour.
“The namesake Poolboy Taco sets the tone with tomatillo chicken, sweet-and-spicy cornbread, jalapeño ranch, honey glaze, and cotija,” read the news release sent to ABC15 announcing the location’s opening date. Other featured tacos on the menu include:
- The Ric has pinto beans, onion, and jack cheese.
- The Ron has spicy black beans, onion, and cheddar.
- The Duke, which has bacon, smashed potato, egg, and cheddar.
- The menu also features comfort favorites such as enchiladas and burritos, along with desserts like carrot cake and cookies. Guests can enjoy a selection of drinks, including frozen cocktails, margaritas, and draft beer.
