This is place was gold!…read more The environment is for every occasion, big family gatherings, friends, and/or connect with loved ones with an important theme--TACOS! With not wanting to miss out on any specific specialty taco, I decided to go with their Sampler Plus and boy was I happy to do that. Decided to do two Tacos El Plebe, Taco el Rojo, El de Asada, and Taco El Compa. If I had to choose, the Taco El Plebe had the edge but none of these disappointed. The sauces were on point and for the first time in a while, I felt that great kick but not over bearing. The grilled onions was just the cherry on top of tacos. And Tuesdays seems to be free cup of Frijoles Mamalones I was happy to be trying this place on a Tuesday, it did not disappoint but I was feeling it. I had to opt out of trying any desserts, but that just means I'll have to be back. They have a DJ and/or play music but it's not so loud you can't have intimate conversations or not hear your friends and family. The waiter said the weekends is jammed pack but I wouldn't let that deter me from trying to be here, there is plenty of parking and seating, just may come earlier rather than later.

I was craving a potato with tacos so I hit my cousin up for a good recommendation. I'm from SA and…read moremy cousin lives here in the Valley. He told me about this place and it didn't disappoint! It was a small place located in a shopping center, but it was very clean and the service was great! I ordered the bistek tacos with a potato. All dishes came with beans too and they were delicious! My husband had the beef torta and my daughter had the chalupas. We all left happy and full! I'll definitely remember this place next time we're in town.

We ordered tacos and a baked potato. I wasn't sure if to get the small or large potato, so I got the big one with fajita. That potato could have fed 3 people, it was so big! The tacos were delicious as well, and very well filled with desebrada meat! Will for sure keep coming back again and again!!

However, the food is overpriced and the service we received was dismissive. There were a lot of flies inside, and we found a fly in our margarita after a couple of sips. When we brought this up to the server, no apologizes were made and it was brushed over. We were told they replaced it with a new one, but the glass we received after was the exact same level it had been previously, which we were told was due to restaurant policy. Important to note, the "full" glass we were given not even a full glass. We returned the drink due to not feeling confident in the change. Would not recommend this place, and would recommend driving out to some of the other further restaurants in the area!

She brought a cup of beans as a complimentary appetizer, which by the way was flavorful, unlike many places I've had them. I ordered the bistec tacos on corn tortillas with onions and cilantro. I'm not from Texas and forget the onions they serve down here are grilled and not raw like most other places. The tacos were small, street style tacos and the meat was cooked and actually charred a bit more than most places I've been to around here. In other words, the tacos were good! I will definitely be back!

The parking is small, but other than that, this is one of the best fast taquerias in my area. 10/10 would recommend.

There were probably like 3 tables with people. So no reason for the employees not to be attending customers walking in. But the waiter was nice and tried his best to keep track of every table. When I needed assistance he was not available. I only saw two people working. The food took long. The kids meals was disappointing. The tacos were greasy and the tortillas were stale. The meat was flavorful. Plus really over cooked. It was my first time at this establishment. I definitely will not go again.

I found a fly in my food and this fly was a horsefly! It was huge and gross, like any normal person I brought it to my waitress attention. Thought I would at least get a new salsa & tacos for the inconvenience since I didn't want to touch my food anymore. They just took my plate and left me there for a long while. Nobody came to my table to check up on my or apologize for the inconvenience. When it came time to check out they only took $2 off of my check?!?!? But they took my whole plate of food that I didn't touch after I saw the fly and told them.

We got sat but it didn't take a long time for us to get greeted and taken care of. But once she did come, we got things rolling. Hubby and I once again got a handful of tacos and he decided to try one with "sweet bread." Didn't enjoy that one, the texture was too mushy and not pleasant. But the rest tasted good. The beans/pork cup they gave us had a good flavor but there were just big chunks of pork fat in them so we didn't really eat those. My friend got something popular in the area called "sincronizada" and it was like this giant burrito. We all helped each other eat it and devoured the rest of the tacos. Very reasonably priced and a good end to our trip!
