Then I realized I pass it pretty often when leaving work, so when I was in the area with my family, we decided to finally stop in. The place looked pretty run-down when we walked in, and unfortunately the first impression didn't get much better. The person taking our order wasn't particularly welcoming or service-forward, and the table we sat at was noticeably sticky. While we were waiting, a friend of the owners came in and was loudly dropping plenty of profanity, which seemed to be perfectly welcome. Meanwhile, the same person who took our order was now in the back preparing our food. We tried the crunchy homestyle hard-shell tacos that seem to be the big thing online, along with a couple of street tacos. The food itself wasn't terrible. It was definitely on the greasy side, but there was some flavor there. I just wouldn't describe it as particularly authentic or something I would go out of my way for. For me, the bigger issue was the overall experience. The condition of the restaurant, the cleanliness of the table, and the general lack of attention to the customer experience all added up. Maybe we caught them on an off day, but based on this visit, I wouldn't go back or recommend it.

I can't get enough of this place! Gone for 2 weeks and had to get my grub on! #hardshell #birriataco #pastortaco #chickentaco #offthechain

Unfortunately, that wasn't the experience we had this time around. The tacos were pretty soggy and lacked the texture that apparently made them stand out before. She even joked that they must've had a different cook working that day. The food wasn't bad, but it also didn't live up to the expectations that were set. The consommé was decent and the portions were generous, but overall the flavor was just average. If I were rating this visit alone, it would probably be closer to a 3/5. That said, I'm giving it a 4/5 because my girlfriend has had a much better experience here before and swears it's usually better than what we received. The other factor is the price. For a restaurant where you order at the counter, grab your number, and seat yourself, it feels a bit expensive for what you get. I'd be willing to give it another shot since it sounds like consistency may be the issue, but based on this visit, it didn't quite live up to the hype.

Disappointing Experience I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience deserved one. The service was painfully slow, and the staff seemed uninterested and unhelpful when we tried to ask questions. The food itself was mediocre at best and definitely not worth the wait or the price. Overall, the lack of basic customer service ruined what should have been an enjoyable meal. I won't be returning. read more

It's like four different themes in one sports bar anime toy store Mexican restaurant. It was a bit of everything it's a bit crowded. The seating is a little too close to each other. We had to wait quite a bit of time just to be seated. We were finally seated by big huge TVs and everybody else that was in the restaurant was all around us. They sat everyone super close together. There was not one specific waitress. It was a collective group of people coming to the table for different things. They brought us chips and salsa. The chips were very stale! Finally, somebody came over to take our drink order that took a minute to bring us our drinks We finally placed our order for our food again that took a long time to receive our food. I don't know what was going on in the kitchen, but we were there a good 20 minutes before we received anything. They sat a family next to us with screaming kids, jumping around making a mess and it was very close to our table. It just was not an enjoyable experience. We noticed when we were leaving there was lots of seating in the front and was quiet.
