The Angry Minnow

I dined at the Angry Minnow in Hayward today for lunch.  The atmosphere was quite nice until the restaurant filled up, then it was extremely loud, to the point I had to yell to converse with my lunch partner.  My suggestion there would be some sound boards or rugs to lessen the sound echoing.  Anyway, on to the food.  I ordered the "Hot & Angry" pretzels as an appetizer.  It was three large, soft, hot pretzels served with three sauces; dill sauce, wasabi sauce, and hot mustard sauce.  The presentation was excellent as was the service and the pretzels were excellent.  I strongly recommend the hot mustard sauce, it complemented the saltiness of the pretzel and really made the flavors pop.  For the entree I had the Thursday special, which was beef tacos served with fresh tortilla chips and black bean dip.  The two tacos were stuffed completely full on homemade soft shell tortillas with seasoned beef, fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and grated Monterrey jack cheese.  The taco was one of the best that I ever had, it had great flavors and all ingredients meshed with amazing freshness.  The tortilla chips and black bean dip were also outstanding.  The bean dip had just a hint of spice that make it fun to eat.  In all, this lunch was one of the best I have had in a long time.
