So if you order chicken it has to be at least an order of 2 chicken tacos, you weren’t allowed to mix and match. I don’t understand the point of this, what if I order a taco and don’t like it, I’ll have another two or one of the same taco that I didn’t like and have to eat, other wise throw it away along with my money.
Thankfully I ordered the Birria tacos in an order of 3, at $6 a taco, at that price I should be able to mix and match my order, the other meats amongst that price point were asado and shrimp, which I would have loved to have tried, but wasn’t able to because of the silly rule.
If I’m being charged individually for a single taco, why should I be forced to put in an order of 3, minimum 2 of the same tacos. I usually cry when I have to pay $5 for a taco, but I paid $6 and couldn’t mix and match my order on taco Tuesday.
Thankfully at first bite the Birria tacos were juicy, flavorful, small, but filled with meat. It also had cheese in it which made it better. I traded my taco for an asada taco with my friend and didn’t really enjoy the asada taco, it was ok at best, it had a cooked on a gas grill flavor.
The red sauce was ok, was told it was spicy and it wasn’t, but thankfully the green sauce that wasn’t suppose to be spicy had some kick to it.
It also came with a small little shot of the beef brew it’s cooked in where I was able to dip the tacos. It had a nice chile de árbol in there which gave it some kick.
The food was great but the policy of minimum 3-2 tacos an order of the same taco is silly if I’m paying for each taco individually. Like for specialty tacos like birria and shrimp, I understand that an order of 3 should come at a fixed price. But this wasn’t the case lol.
I feel like I should have paid $15 instead of $18, but they were pretty good and flavorful, not every Resturant gets the Birria taco recipe right, but they make them pretty good here in my opinion.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great food and excellent service!
However
I and my friend asked for double espresso, and were served (guess what?) Regular coffee (in big cups) which tasted like (surprise surprise) Regular coffee.
I asked our server if it was indeed double espresso and he nodded and said “No no, it’s double espresso, this is double espresso”
And they charged us $8 dollars each, although there was another friend of ours who ordered regular coffee (which looked exactly like our “double espresso”) who was charged $4.
I know this problem sounds too trivial, but the issue is that nothing similar happened to me in New York, ever. Everyone knows what double espresso looks and tastes like, and it was quite upsetting that we were overcharged and served something we didn’t order
I went on a Taco Tuesday and the food was super affordable — I ate and drink a lot and ended up paying very little. I also found out that on weekends they have karaoke and late nights, which I think is awesome since I’m from the area and it’s a great plan to go out.
Overall, I highly recommend it: great food, great prices, authentic vibe, and excellent service.
The aesthetic of the pace is pretty nice, I like the outside set up and it’s pretty up to date and clean
I had the 3 birria tacos with a margarita and it was good. I really enjoyed the mariachi they had with the lead singer singing directly to you, making time stop for a whole song of your choice. I loved it, he sang “amor eterno” by rocio durcal amazing performance that was
