Tallulah’s Tacos

Tallulah’s Tacos Is Happy To Announce The Grand Opening Of The Shack at Dutch Harbor!

Tallulah’s Tacos brings fresh, traditional Mexican style tacos and burritos that embrace the flavors reminiscent of the West Coast. Homemade Horchata, Melon de Agua, and Basil Lime Lemonade quench the thirst; while Tacos, Burritos or Burrito Bowls can satisfy even the hungriest of patrons.

There are even breakfast options for the early birds! Come and try the breakfast burritos and tacos offered Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 11am.

Gluten free? That is never a problem for Tallulah’s Tacos, as the tacos, burrito bowls and sweet desserts such as Horchata Panna Cotta are gluten free. There are also vegetarian options such as a black bean taco/burrito, Mexican shrimp cocktail and black bean burrito bowl.

The menus are located on the website tallulahonthames.com/tacos as a PDF file and can be downloaded and printed for convenience.

The Shack is committed to using the freshest of ingredients within the menu and therefore could possibly run out of popular items daily. Some of the ingredients are grown, sourced, and created from local neighboring farms.

Homestead Hard Cider

The following is from the Kickstarter campaign for Homestead Hard Cider. Please consider donating to help launch locally brewed hard cider.

We have the recipes, the cider house, and the local apples for our 100% natural apple cider, now we need your help!!! #HomesteadCider

Our names are Jeremy Quaglia and Kyle Schmitt and we are Homestead Hard Cider.

When it comes to quality care and expert craftsmanship, the term “home brewed” couldn’t hit any closer to… well, home. New England has always been our home. We grew up in Attleboro just forty minutes south of Boston, went to college in Massachusetts, and have remained friends since we were children. We both live in the same houses we grew up in, and it was in our homes that a little over a year ago we began Homestead Hard Cider on none other than Homestead Lane. Since then we have worked tirelessly to build Homestead Hard Cider into the nano-cidery it is today. We have perfected the recipes, garnered fan support, and moved production out of our homes into a more permanent location in Attleboro where production can be streamlined.

Over the past few years, the market for cider has grown exponentially. Sales have been driven by corporate owned and operated companies. Their expensive marketing campaigns allow them to claim to be hand crafted when really they are sacrificing quality and taste in favor of mass quantities. At Homestead Hard Cider, the cider we produce is the direct result of our dedication and hard work. We get out of it what we put into it – something of genuine quality and unique taste. Oh, and did we forget to mention the alcohol content?

Like many people, we like to drink, so you better believe we aim high. Our original brew provides drinkers with an offering of 9.5% ABV and our newest brew boasts a delightfully high ABV% that we’re willing to bet you’re going to love.

We love cider, we love our community, and we love the notion that Homestead Hard Cider’s presence can prove that two 23 year olds can run a thriving business. We hope our success will give other aspiring entrepreneurs the confidence that they can be successful too. Not only are you funding our operation, but we truly believe you are funding a movement. A movement not to take Attleboro and surrounding communities back to what they were, but instead to what they can be. Revitalizing our economy starts with small grassroot businesses.

This is the next step for Homestead Hard Cider. We are on the cusp of something big and your help will be the extra push we need to get there. We believe that what we have created is not just something special, but something worth trying for yourself. This is where the Kickstarter community comes in. We have seen what you have been able to do for others and it is impressive. The age of social media is a crazy thing that allows us to connect with people we never would have been able to otherwise. By contributing you can forever call yourself part of the Homestead Hard Cider family. When you’re able to buy Homestead in your hometown, you’ll be glad you did. To show our appreciation you will obviously get some pretty cool merchandise in return for your generosity.
