I've only gone once before, but my husband loves this place. I got the Hussein quesadilla which was good, but was a lot of food. Didn't know what I was getting myself into. The street tacos were basic, nothing to rave about. Now about the price. We spend about 40 bucks for two orders of street tacos and two orders for the quesadilla. I think that is pretty pricy for a food truck. I probably won't be going back on my own accord but it was a little nostalgic for my husband and I.

I think they have just been lucky with the utter lack of competition near them. The food is underwhelming at times, and just ok the rest. The most recent time we came, and trust me it's the kiddos not wanting tias or McDonalds, they had mini tacos. First it seems like the prices go up everytime we come, but the amount of food or quality doesn't get better. Also, almost all places we go to give you a side of charro beans. Not here, I guess the cost cutting has even come to this food truck. I get it, everything costs more. This was place just wasn't that good to begin with. It times it feels like the food is made like someone is just going through the motions, and the bare minimum effort is made. With the downfall of el guacamole down the street, tias horrible food, and don't even get me started on how bad el saborcito is, this the best of a limited choice nearby.

That's exactly the energy at Los Weyes de la Asada. From the second you walk up, it feels alive. Not in a forced way, more like you've been there before, even if it's your first time. The kind of place where your stress, your diet, even your cruda takes a backseat. Now the food. No overthinking needed here. Everything coming out of that truck is a straight up pow pow of flavor. The carne is cooked just right, juicy with that perfect char, and the corn tortillas are legit, soft but with enough structure to hold everything together. I ordered the Mamón and the Chingón, and honestly, both lived up to the names. No misses. And the agua fresca de fresa? That sealed it. They serve it in a little bolsita, which somehow makes it hit even better. Simple, nostalgic, and just cool. It's all tucked inside El Camino, which adds to the whole vibe, string lights, people hanging out, that easygoing outdoor feel where you lose track of time a little.

The smell alone made me think we were in for something special. We grabbed a couple of cocktails and ordered tacos, which seemed like the obvious choice. The tacos were good, but that's about where I'd leave it. They weren't bad at all, but they also weren't particularly memorable. With the aroma coming from the grill and all the recommendations I'd heard, I was expecting a little more flavor and a bigger wow factor. The atmosphere was fun, the service was good, and the charcoal grill definitely adds to the experience. I just found the food itself to be more "solid" than "spectacular." I'd rate it about a 7 out of 10. Worth trying if you're already at El Camino, but not a place I'd go out of my way for.

Okay, I fully admit to having unusual tastes. My second favorite food out of all the offerings of…read morethe world is tripas. I have loved them ever since I tried them at the local BBQ in Waelder, Texas. Since then I have eaten them whenever I see them on a menu. But, sometimes, I get a craving for them. Today was one of those days. I went on the DoorDash app and did a search on the word tripas. It came up with a plethora of Mexican restaurants in my area. I scrolled through them until I saw the picture for the Super Tripas Plate at Taco 16th Street Northwest. They looked really good, so I decided to take a chance and order them. Thirty minutes later, they were at my door. I was amazed by what I saw when I took the foil off the plate. There was a large pile of tripas topped in a white cheese, an equally large pile of caramelized grilled onions, a small pot of refried beans, a scoop of guacamole, 5 street-sized corn tortillas, and two different containers of salsa. I put a little bit of everything on the tortillas. Everything was delicious. I especially liked the flavors of the two salsas. It was the perfect tripas dinner. I can't wait to tell my son about it and order it again.

Maybe a phone call before making it or letting me know when I picked up the order? The burrito was missing sour cream. It was pretty dry.

I never received the phone call and that is why I am reviewing. I gave two stars because the salsa was amazing. It should be 1, but the salsa was the only redeeming factor.

So, a compromise. If there were some way to indicate, we negotiate a 3.5 rating. And for the review. Mimi's is found at the corner of Vance Jackson and Babcock, nestled within several commercial operations that live and breathe there. There is plenty of parking in the lots. The taco shop has been in operation for at least 30 years, and Mimi, the original proprietor has ceded the business to her sons, and they continue neighborhood offerings to this very day. Marjan and I search for taco restaurants in every corner of our fair city: some are more upscale, some rather modest in character. But no matter, real treasures can be found in the most modest, and some ptomaine taverns can be found in the most elevated. Mimi's tends to the most modest. The entry is, in truth, shop worn. Think peeling paint, dated signage, unfinished floors, rough hewn counter. One or two tables for patrons, evidence that this is definitely a "take out" operation. Entering, there was some concern viewing the landscape, but also pasted on the counter: rating of "A" at its most recent review by the city health department!! The counter person was immensely welcoming, asking if we had visited previously. Behind the counter, the working kitchen was visible. Several employees hard at work filling orders...there were 4 or 5 patrons waiting for their take outs. This is an operation devoid of the niceties of appearance. The staff were in casual shirts, jeans. But readers, do not be deceived by appearance. We ordered bean and cheese, machacado, potato and egg and cheese and chicken fajita tacos...all to go. The impression: all were a bit laden with grease, so much so that Marjan had to absorb the grease of her machacado with Bounty. The tacos lacked a bit of salt, and the fajitas had a rather different spice that we had not experienced previously, a spice that Marjan didn't quite enjoy, but that I found tasty. The bean and cheese were laden with cheddar to the max. The flour tortillas were exceptional. Every taco was literally bursting at the seams with content. Our impression: this is a rather "homey" take on the treasured taco, not elevated, but warming to the palate none the less. I was reminded of the tacos that I had enjoyed at the colonias outside Saltillo in Mexico, one where one would be served less than cold beer, or perhaps mescal or pulque. I think the offerings would not satisfy every palate, but I would return, given my history with Mexican food of every type, growing up on the west side of our fair city.
