Once they moved, it seems as if some of the charm had left---along with the guarantee that the food would be perfect. I have had some absolutely amazing food here. But, lately, it's been passable. I tried the burrito today. Not a burrito guy but wanted something different. It was standard burrito fair. Some beans. Some rice. Some meat. Some sauce. It was good. But it was a burrito. Not hard to do an okay burrito. The tostada is where I was hoping for the usual greatness of this restaurant. I took a bite. The tostada seemed slightly overcooked. That's okay. I can deal with it. It slightly altered the taste, but okay. The rest of it was pretty tasty. Until....bad carnitas. I mean...bad carnitas. One bite was 100% fat. I know they saw it when they put it on. Some like that, I don't. And then...some bites that were not chewable - or digestible. Then another bad bite. Tostados are not too big. So there are only so many bites. This one made me never want to try carnitas there again. It's too bad. The people there are always nice. The food used to be great. Now. Not so much.

I think I've tried all of them save the birria and maybe the cabeza. All are great. Pollo and carne asada are good the campechano, al pastor and lengua are the bomb. Get the corn tortillas with cilantro onion and some cheese. It's so good. Their quesadillas are also fine, I do carmelized onion with chicken and it's really good. They will give you some sauces and lime on the side. Overall when it's fresh these are the best tacos in cville for no frills just good authentic tacos. Yum!

Is it a Virgina thing to not turn on ac during summer or why are all restaurant always hot to the point you're passing out? Water is also served without ice and as it is it's already hot in there. Once our waitress came by she wasn't very attentive. Drinks were not great. I should've stuck with a coke or something. Food- I got the tacos al pastor. NGL for being up North I was impressed by the flavor. Unfortunately,once the tacos made it to the table it was hard to even eat them since the tortilla were all soggy. The meat shouldn't have that much juice if it's really cooked on a trompo but ‍. Then to add salsa,slaw and piña on top of that? Again the tortilla were soggy and falling apart.
