This is the second of a three-part series on lunching in Greenwood. Diners have varied goals and objectives when they eat lunch out. Last month I started with the “Business Lunch.” This month I will explore “Lunching on a Budget.” In the future, I’ll tackle the “Ladies’ Lunch” for those lucky enough to get the gals together for some leisurely gab time. I am discovering that with the diverse restaurants in Greenwood, there is a place that will fill the bill for any luncheon need.
ROSCOE’S TACOS
Located at 642 South Madison Avenue, Roscoe’s Tacos actually serves more than just tacos. Their daily specials include burritos and nachos in addition to the menu items of tostadas, salads and even cookies. Patrons get a choice of ground beef chili, shredded chicken, shredded beef or vegetarian fillings. However, what caught my eye was the “Son of Sampler” Meal Deal for $4.99. It includes a Butch Cassidy Taco, Babe’s Chicken Taco and a Lil’ Beef Taco along with the choice of a side of beans and cheese or beans and rice. Although the drink was not included, the fun of trying three different kinds of tacos and having a side offered, as well, makes this a great bargain.
EGG ROLL #1
The lunch special at Egg Roll #1, 640 U.S. 31 South, includes enough food to ensure that any hunger pangs will be kept at bay until the dinner hour. Priced at only $4.50 (without a drink), their “Luncheon Specials” offer a choice from a menu of 28 different Cantonese-style dishes that range from mild to spicy and feature chicken, pork, beef, and even crab legs. And, there’s more: included in the deal is an egg roll, a choice of Egg Drop or Hot and Sour Soup, Fried Rice, and a Fortune Cookie. It is a safe bet that no one walks away hungry. 28 / GREENWOOD COMMUNITY NEWSLETTER / JULY 2014 / atGreenwood.com
