Just a quick update for those wondering. Sean (the owner)'s "grandmother (Mema) learned how to make these tacos while she was in Alaska with my grandfather back in the '50s" hence the "Alaskan taco"

Alaskan tacos (in this instance) means nothing more than the ingredients are fresh and top quality. They use things like gator and shrimp and fresh cheddar, all of which are very nice.
