Every week, Channel 253 releases a special members-only podcast called “Off the Record.” This short show is hosted by Producer Doug. It is sometimes serious and sometimes very much not serious. This is one of those very much not serious episodes.

And since it’s been a while since we’ve seen Taco-Man around these parts, we thought we’d share this special episode with everyone. Enjoy.

If you’d like to subscribe to Off the Record episodes every week, join Channel 253 as a member and follow the instructions. Thanks!

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s … TACO-MAN. Taco-Man’s mission: to review the tacos of Tacoma. It’s a podcast by Taco-Man for all Tacomans* to enjoy. Each episode, he reviews a different Tacoma taco with a different trusty sidekick.

We’re at El Antojo.

Taco-Man is not the superhero we need. But he’s the superhero we deserve. And, we can feel that hometown pride because he’s a native Tacoman (obvs).

This episode is a little different, though. Taco-Man goes back to El Borracho with trusty sidekick Annie to review their vegan tacos. Vegan tacos are hard to find in Tacoma! Hear what Annie and Taco-Man think of them (plus a few groan-worthy jokes while they wait for their order).
