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 .
.
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.
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.
