Dirty Oscar’s Annex on 6th Avenue in Tacoma has been one of the city’s most creative pub and taco destinations since it opened, building a menu around imaginative New American comfort food, creative tacos, and the kind of from-scratch quality that earns a Tacoma neighborhood restaurant its destination reputation in a city that has developed one of the most interesting independent restaurant scenes in the Pacific Northwest. It appeared in Season 17, Episode 1 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Tacos and Tots,” which aired April 22, 2013. Guy Fieri found a Tacoma kitchen doing creative tacos and comfort food with the quality and personality that earns a neighborhood pub its place on the DDD map.

What to Eat
The Creative Tacos with rotating fillings that go well beyond standard taco shop offerings are the signature that earns Dirty Oscar’s its DDD placement and its Tacoma reputation — proteins and toppings that reflect New American creativity rather than Tex-Mex convention. The Tots — the episode title’s other half — are the dressed-up tater tot option that most tables add as an appetizer. The Pub Burger on fresh-ground beef with house-made condiments is the comfort food centerpiece for those not leading with the tacos. The Craft Beer Selection with a Pacific Northwest emphasis is as thoughtfully curated as the food. Find a Tacoma hotel on Trivago.
