Your current S.O.’s version of game theory:
1. Come on strong
2. Forget to call
3. Apologize with dinner
4. Completely disappear

And repeat. Until, of course, you start craving something with a little more substance. Like Urban Taco, the modern Mexican taqueria that recently opened in Mockingbird Station.

A vivid yellow, blue, and orange decor reflects our southern neighbor’s love of color. And touches like recessed lighting, clean lines, and white accents save the interior from Tex-Mex kitsch.

Dishes are straight from the streets of Mexico City, with a few contemporary twists. Tacos include the delicious pork roast marinated in Dos Equis Amber and savory tacos al pastor. Or you can opt for poblano pesto chicken skewers.

One visit’s not going to improve your love life. But at least such rock-solid fare will have only one thing in common with your S.O.

It will inevitably disappear.
