    Amigas receipt - 10/21/2025 - Steak tacos - First & Last visit

    Last night was "The First & Last" time to this place. A friend said the tacos were good - we decided to try them. We ordered a total of 4 Steak tacos to go. The little scraps of meat that was on the ice cold taco shell had a decent flavor, there is "No Saving Grace" for this sell. They charged us 25 cents for lettuce and 50 cents for tomatoes which equaled "Lettuce Tacos" !! There was more lettuce than anything in the cold shells, couldn't believe they gave us 6 slices of lime (for what?? there wasn't any meat to squeeze the limes on) !! We scraped the little off one taco onto the other to attempt to make 1 real taco !! I had to cook us some food to put in our empty bellies. I wish I had taken pics as proof, all I have is the receipt as my proof we were there. #NOREPEATBUSINESS4YOU

    Didn't want to serve us so decided to togo and when we got home 10 tacos was missing. Just look at the picture and the number

    This is my go to place for taco tuesdays. It's their generous portion sizes that keeps me coming back. Quality- carne asada tacos and lomo tacos here are my favorite. The meat quality is not bad, it can be a but drenched with oil but I drench it with spicy sauce to mask the oily taste. My favorite item here is a whole fried fish. It tastes great when paired with fresh veggies. Quantity- I can get a lot of tacos for a buck each. It's impressive how much I get here on tuesdays. I usually get 10 tacos and sometimes a big fish to munch on at home. This is the main selling point for me. Atmosphere- it is quite crowded sometimes and sometimes it isn't the cleanest place to eat. Service- it can sometimes take a while to get seated, get food, and a check. They're very short staffed here.

    Came out on a Monday night, surprised that there was a good amount of people inside. Either new a management team or something because place looks nothing like it did before. Got told to sit wherever I wanted and then the server would come and take our orders. Started off with chips and salsa. Chips were good couldn't tell if bought or fresh but really good flavor to them. Salsas weren't too bad, didn't take a picture of them put the green was the spiciest and then the one with cilantro in it was prob the best. We had ordered a chicken quesadilla with a side of rice and 3 steak tacos with cilantro and onion. 3 steak tacos, really good flavoring, nicely cooked steak, went well with the salsas. Recommend these tacos here. Chicken quesadilla, probably the worst thing i've had in a while. Something was definitely off with the chicken, unless it's the type of chicken they use but it tasted as if some parts were undercooked or something. Tried to eat more to not waste food but I really couldn't. Thank god for the rice on the side, it never disappoints. Got our check about 45 minutes later, there was some waiting involved, no problem. I miss the old management honestly

    This is probably my new favorite Mexican restaurant! It's delicious, authentic, big portions, and inexpensive. We had the Combination #1 taco, quesadilla and tostada with the rice and all the works. We''re definitely coming back to try the rest of the menu!

    My husband and I work from home. Good Tequilas is located maybe 7 minutes from our home so we go…read morequite often on n our lunch break. The host/server there, a male, is quite nice. The place is very quiet, just some soft Mexican instrumental music playing in the aground. Good Tequilas is quite large, although we rarely see anybody there right when they open (Monday and Tuesday they open at 3).. At least for women (so I imagine for men as well) and they offer Disabled parking and have a ramp at the entrance. The food, well, if you eat meat it's great. If you are a vegan, not so much. First of all they were deceptive and dishonest for many years. Most vegetarians would not think to ask like me Hindu (vegan), but the rice and beans were prepared with chicken paste. I mean, they could have been sued if I made a big deal out of.it. So anyway, the host/server today told me that they no longer use chicken paste in their rice and beans, they are pure vegan.. So I ordered a rice, beans and guacamole. The guacamole there is quite good. I tried a bite of the rice and beans, discreetly spit it out in my napkins. I tried a bit of rice and discreetly spit it out in my napkin. I just ate my same order as always fot many years, chips are salsa are complimentary. I hate salsa. It is not just Good Tequilas salsa, I just refuse to put salsa in my mouth. Chips and guacamole thums up. So today, with the inedible rice and beans, my check came out to $14. That's on me, as I ordered the plate of now vegan rice and beans. My American husband loves the place, and so do I if I stick to free chips and guacamole.

    We thought this place was okay…read more Very pretty interior. Good waiter! Decent food. Decent frozen margarita. Flan was not good. I don't think it was even flan. Would give it a try again for decent chips and salsa, perhaps.

    La Taqueria has been on my radar for years and just never had an opportunity to check it out. I…read morefinally did today. Given the number of reviews for its location, it appears to be a local staple for Mexican food. The menu was a good size and they had a lot of different choices of meat choices for tacos. My review today is based on the taco dinner that I ordered. I went with my standard go to selection for tacos in a dinner: Tripa dorada, Al Pastor and Asada. I can definitely say that it was all very different, in a positive way. Their tripa dorada was fried to almost a chicharron (pork rind). I've only had tripa done this way in a few other places and it's not common. The Al Pastor was different from what I've had anywhere else. The meat selection was different. The marinade was different and was more on the sweeter side.....some kind of sweet spice, I can not point it out. The carne asada was also a very different cut. It was nicely chopped. The meat was very tender and was easy on my bite as I ate. Despite all the differences that I am pointing out, the food definitely felt fresh and good quality. This is perhaps why it has as many reviews as it does, they want to be selective and not afraid to do it slightly different than everyone else. The portions were very generous. The salsas were also good. They have one green salsa and two red salsa options. One red salsa was spicier than the other. Another highlight were the Totopos (chips). They looked home made, made in house unlike a lot of places where chips may be processed. The only thing that I would critique was that my asada had a noticeable oil drip, more than I would have liked. That's the only thing I would say. The waitress was very attentive and would come around very often to check on me. I would encourage you to come check it out for yourself.
