Reviews
Let’s start with the logistics – the restaurant’s posted hours seem more of a suggestion than a hard and fast rule. Attempting to call ahead is futile, as the number listed sends you to voice mail. This lack of reliable communication is undoubtedly frustrating for customers looking to plan their dining experience.
Moving on to the food, my first visit left much to be desired. My first visit started on a sour note. I ordered the birria quesadilla and carne asada burrito but was dismayed to find no consomé served alongside the quesadilla – a cardinal sin in my book. The meat-to-cheese ratio also felt off, with the cheese overpowering the flavor of the birria.
The balance of ingredients also seemed off, with the cheese overpowering the birria flavor. As for the burrito, the strong presence of onions permeated each bite, leaving an unpleasant lingering aroma.
However, the quality of the meat itself was pretty good in both dishes – very tender and flavorful.
My subsequent visit provided a glimmer of hope. Deciding to stick to the taco offerings, I was pleased that the previously detected flavors could shine more prominently. The tenderness of the meat was a redeeming quality, though the birria tacos’ portion size could still use some refinement.
All in all, this place has its hits and misses. I can not vouch for the full breadth of their menu, but the tacos are a solid option. I will likely return to explore further, but their service and consistency remain a bit of a wild card. If they iron out those kinks, this could be a real neighborhood gem. The restaurant’s commitment to its craft is admirable.
