This thing was good.

DALLAS — Avocado, cream, salsa, dried corn, little bits of breading: These were on my fingers moments after I took a bite of the Ipswich clam taco on special Tuesday night at Spoon Bar & Kitchen. And it was pretty delicious.

The heat from the jalapeño cream salsa and the pillowy but hefty clams laced the elements of John Tesar’s taco creation nestled in a flour tortilla that seconds earlier been removed from the grill. The result was a warm, papery tortilla.

It was only then that I looked at my dining companion and driver for the excursion. He wasn’t nearly as messy but he was as thankful as I was for the opportunity that Tesar and his staff afforded us. I’m excited to try it again when the taco is added to the forthcoming lunch menu, which I was told would be rolled out sometime after Valentine’s Day.
