    I ordered a couple of fajita tacos and unfortunately I was very disappointed. The only pro was the…read moreabout of meat you get, but it didn't help if it's not seasoned well. Also, the taco is held in a single corn tortilla which doesn't hold the weight of the food. It broke easily and ended up being very messy. I'd rather try other taco spots in the area before returning.

    Taco Tuesday in Laredo led me here as this was not too far from my hotel. And after being…read moredistraught from my arrival to my lodging area, I knew tacos would cheer me up. Walking in here, I saw the tacos were the street taco type based on what was served to the diners here so I figured I would order more than a couple. It smelled amazing and had me foaming at the mouth after I put my order in and waited with anticipation. I decided on the following flavors: -pastor, -tripa x 2, -brisket -pechuga tacolare especial (chicken, ham, bacon) After giving me my bag, I immediately raced back to my hotel, unwrapped everything and was a bit confused on how they wrapped it. Most taco places I've been to usually have the tacos wrapped individually or bunch them in the folded format. They were wrapped up laid flat so everything was on top of each other which I got a bit confused by. So I carefully pulled each one out, drizzled some of that green and red sauce provided and then ate. I was impressed by the brisket and tripa, both of those were killer. The pastor wasn't bad but I probably should've done a different flavor since it was a bit overdone IMO. The pechuga tacolore was the greasiest but a pleasant surprise since I kinda like my tacos that way. Price wise, it's a bit more expensive for street tacos than I'm used to but the taste and flavor are there. I noticed it's a favorite here in Laredo as there were a good amount of to-go orders and people inside were happily chowing down on their eats. When Laredo calls my name again, I'll definitely be back here for other taco flavors and some of those boracho beans.

    The food was alright overall. The brisket was soft, but it lacked flavor and seasoning. The fries…read morewere crispy, but the seasoning was inconsistent some pieces were salty while others had almost none. The crispy onion rings were the highlight of the burger; they added great texture and a satisfying snap. Adding barbecue sauce helped bring in some of the flavor the burger was missing. Overall, it was a decent burger, but not memorable. What really made me question returning was the service. The cashiers didn't greet me when I approached the counter, and they didn't hand me my drink or my order number. Finally, I noticed one of the cooks using his bare hands to grab fries while preparing an order. I really hope his hands were washed, because that raised a big concern about food safety. In the end, it was an okay experience, but there are several things that need improvement. The ambiance was nice set of characters like the neon signs and design of the place like the wood accent.

    Delicious! Thank you Yelp! I gave this establishment a try because of the Yelp reviews and I wasn't…read moredisappointed. This is a casual restaurant. You'll order at the counter and they'll bring your food to you. I ordered the crispy conchinita tacos and fried dill pickle spears. I was alone and it was enough food for two at a reasonable price. The tacos were absolutely delicious. The fried pickles were on point and not too salty like some pickles when you order them. I would definitely visit again.
