Got my order read back to me when I got it taken to my car, got home and it was the wrong order. I called went back to pick up , they asked me for the order that I had because it’s “law” for them to throw it in the trash. No cars this time. I got my order went home and again .. wrong order. This time I took all the waste of food they wanted to throw away and finally got my right order. Better off going to Taco Bell, at least they give me some cinnamon twists for the inconvenience. Nothing here.. horrible experience

I’m not the Karen type but I cannot believe how bad this food was. Ignore all the 5 star reviews you see on here because they’re either fake or they’re paid off to lie. I ordered carne asada and was given ground beef, when I brought it up to the guy he told me it was carne asada, they just have tiny cuts of carne asada…. I know what carne asada looks and taste like and that was not carne asada, it was cold, dry, and oily ground beef. I got a fish sandwich as well that was completely disassembled, just a piece of fish and 4 dry, oily pieces of burnt toast. Cherry on top, I ordered a large horchata, it tasted fine but I only got about 5 gulps of the drink because it was 90% ice and 10% drink. This is quite literally the worst Mexican food I’ve eaten in my entire life, don’t go here, food is horrible and you don’t get what you pay for. It’s made with a not a single care in the world.

False advertising and so Disgusting. They give server porkchops as carnitas and when i told the manager letty it is not right
She said it’s the same thing. I ordered carnitas taco and got a porkchop cut up in my tortilla which was very very little portion in comparison ro a real carnitas taco. The Picadillo taco was gross the meat was extremely dry the potatoes in it were raw. Everyine knows a Piccadillo taco is juicy
We ate brisket taco and its mixed with another type of beef way over ccooked like beef jerky dry .dry. Worse place in my 30 years of living . Never again. This is substituted food and gross
It took them 20 minutes to make 6 tacos for $30.00 not worth the price at all. Worst experience .

Well,my friends and I had drank alot too much and were feeling very hungover.So I took control and scooped up donations fo native American orphanages and everyone was focused on consuming some really hot coffee and some great eggs and bacon. The black coffee was very potent but with plenty of sugar etc…it’s was both effective and delicious. We all had a great time even the dishwasher must be really well – nouished

I have lived in Texas all my life and in SA area. I have never had bad taco until now. The tortillas were burnt and the sausage and potato taco was mushyand cold. The salsa was watery and tasteless. The ad said said it was the best tacos in town. I gave it a try. I was not happy with the tacos. Cold and tasteless, burnt.

I was disappointed. I asked for cheese dip and got a bowl of shredded cheese. My meal was supposed to come with sour cream and guacamole but I got two sour cream. I definitely overpaid for what I got. I should have just made it myself.

The food in this establishment is delicious, from taquitos, to caldos , gorditas to aguas frescas. My favorite are the brisket and steak tacos , they are the bomb. Watermelon drinks so good and refreshing. Plenty of benches to sit down and eat. The personnel is so nice and attentive great customer service. Restroom is available as well. I love this place and highly recommend it. Thumbs up

Those in the area will know what gem this place is: this review is for the others.
.
We visited after a brief visit to a local, who recommended their tacos. There was quite a line for the drive through, but luckily we planned to dine-“in”.
.
Parking out front, we entered via the chain link gate. This place clearly gets busy, as there was seating for multitudes and standing for even more. We walked up to the unprepossessing order window and studied what to have.
.
I decided on the Brisket taco (“Do you want BBQ sauce” , huh? On a taco?) and a Picaddillo taco, plus unsweet tea. We sat at a picnic table, and the cashier brought us our drinks. A very few minutes later, she brought us tacos.
.
Yeah, they are superb. The tortillas are awesome, and stuffed with almost too much fillings. We also had a few of they salsas in the bag.
.
The brisket was truly top-notch, not too lean and tossed in BBQ sauce. I was surprised to see pickles too. This was like a brisket sandwich, but using a tortilla. The picaddillo taco was equally perfect, filled plentifully with delicious meat and [potatoes] (maybe? It was fantastic)
.
There was nothing about the experience that was at all bad. Really excellent meal.
.
They do have a drive through. When busy, the locals came in to the window and left a few minutes later.
.
If I lived anywhere close, I’d definitely be a regular.

Ask for the steak taco all the way and add an egg. It’s on the pricier side for a taco but you get what you pay for at this place… just look at the pics. Bean, cheese, bacon is another great combo here. Watermelon Agua Fresca was the cherry on top!

Awful. This run-down, less-than-clean dive is a chaotic mix between Dine-In and Drive-Thru and offers zero reassurance on up-to-code cleanliness.

The staff, a motley crew of college-aged young adults, are friendly, but are not professional, or attentive, and are less-than-presentable in terms of uniform/food safety clothing. Though it should be noted, I did see one hair net in use amongst the 5 teammates who should have been using them.

Let’s talk about the food. Using “food” loosely here…

My order was supposed to be –
2 chicken tacos with cilantro and onion and 2 al pastor tacos with cilantro only.

I received –
4 egg tacos, 2 chicken tacos all the way, 2 al pastor tacos all the way.
None of which were made with Taco tortillas. Apparently, here they use some kind of pita-like bread as taco tortillas.

The “salsa” is something akin to sink water and tomato juice.
Skip it and just drink bath water instead.

It’s important to note that though we did not order the egg tacos, they were dangerously undercooked.
The chicken tasted like cat food. The pastor was good, but not great, and was swimming in oil and grease.

TL;DR, don’t eat here. This place is dying and we need to let it before someone gets sick or dies.
Or the owners need to mount a strong executive presence immediately and effect positive change.
