We could go on and on about the tacos, but the real treat here is the taco salad. It's an enormous fried tortilla bowl of fresh mixed greens and shredded cabbage with jack and cheddar cheeses, guacamole, cilantro rice, and black or refried beans. You also have your choice of ono, ahi, mahi mahi, shrimp, chicken, steak or shredded pork. But the main reason you'd get the taco salad is to have a larger bowl in which to mix any number of Jawz Tacos' house-made salsas, like roasted serrano pepper with papaya, habanero with pineapple and carrot, or tropical fruit salsa.
