    Chicken tacos and shrimp tacos

    Beat taco truck in the city !! My favorite thing to order ? 4 shrimp tacos and 4 chicken tacos !! Delicious!! The chicken is marinated and cooked perfectly topped with cilantro and onions !! And the shrimp come decked out with lettuce tom and white sauce !! Both are served with assorted pickled veggies and peppers in the side !! The guys up there know me by my order and the service is super fast !! They even have a few picnic tables and music !!

    Ok, so I eat here a lot, but (oh, there is a but) they charge more than the amount of food one buys. For example, my total was $27 before taxes and they charged me $32! $5 in taxes is a bit much, no? I never complained, never asked for a receipt, so I assume I was mistaken and my math was wrong. Well today a customer argued how his meal could be so much when it was cleared that what he ordered was less than they asked. The lady said that is how they charge, including a tip. Well as a customer and the man, we were all unaware that they add the tip to our tab, aside from what we throw in their tip jar. I understand that they make the minimum wage, but it is wrong and unethical. You cannot run a business like that, you must make all charges aware to the paying customer or else that is robbing and deceiving your customers. Food is good as always, but please make customers aware of this. It is not ok, I would not want this place of business to shut down for a problem that can be avoided. Listen to your customers and please stop cutting the napkins in half. Sincerely, Your loyal, Mexican friend

    I came here completely by accident with the Taco Tour. It just happened to be down the street from the last place we were going to visit. The girl working there told us this truck is owned by the same people who run the Taqueria Express but the food is different. This place was ok. Nothing special, to be honest. They were friendly and the food was good. It just wasn't as good as some other places I've been. They do their pastor meat differently- it's all cut up into almost shredded chunks. It's like they wanted to make little french fries out of the meat. I'm sure it's a special method I've just never heard of but it didn't take away from the taste of the food at all. It was quite fantastic. I didn't try the carnitas taco but just looking at it told me I wouldn't like it because it was very fatty. Liked: - Taco al Pastor Ok: - Tortas Disliked: - Carnitas Taco - Chorizo Taco - Sope al Pastor

    I was supposed to get 7 de asada and 2 de birria. Ended up getting this.

    This WAS my favorite taco shop in Memphis. after what I experienced today, I am NEVER going back again. It wasn't that busy when I ordered. I ordered 7 de asada y 2 de birria and 5 de lengua and 2 de birria. The guy said it was gonna be a few minutes. After A few minutes I went back to order 1 more taco because I forgot and the guy got defensive and said it would be another 20 minutes for me to get the taco then he added that my food was ready. So I paid for the food I ordered ( not including the taco I asked for) . Went home. When I got home the tacos looked a mess and burnt. 1 of the tacos didn't even look like a taco. Plus I was missing 2 tacos. So I went back , I told him to look at what he gave me , he said no , didn't want to look at it or fix the problem. He said it's supposed to look burnt. And he said that I ordered what he gave me which is NOT TRUE. I didn't order 5 tacos de asada - more like 4 . I ordered 7 de asada . The guy was so rude and unprofessional. I even heard the cooks in the back talk shit. I asked to get at least 2 more and I was willing to pay. He said he couldn't take my card payment because of the CC machine only taking $6. I've never seen this guy before but definitely was hella rude to me. Never again.

    Best Carnitas ever there is kind of a language barrier there but it's not very hard to get past excellent food a nice family bite

    Me and my fiance eat here often and the Carnitas are amazing! Food is amazing really hard to understand but as long as you know what you're asking for should be fine

I still can't stop thinking about the sauce station here. There's a private parking lot shared with the surrounding businesses, and the restaurant has around 15 tables inside. It is a good casual spot if you are looking to dine here. FOOD: This restaurant does not serve complimentary chips and salsa. It is $2.95 an order. 1. Torta Villa Carbon (4/5; marinated grilled chicken topped with grilled onions, grilled pineapple, melted cheese, jalapeños, and avocado): This was huge. I ended up saving half for lunch the next day. The combination of sweet and savory flavors worked really well together. 2. Campechano Burrito (4/5; steak strips and chorizo with rice, beans, lettuce, onion, tomato, and jalapeño): Steak and chorizo are always a winning combination, and this burrito did not disappoint. 3. Chirucas Chimichanga (4/5; two medium chimichangas stuffed with rice, beans, cheese dip, and your choice of meat, served with lettuce, pico de gallo, and sour cream): I chose the grilled marinated pork (al pastor), which was flavorful and satisfying. The server mentioned that the chicken version is their favorite. The service was decent overall, though it could be slow at times. I noticed a few tables waiting a while before servers came to take orders or refill drinks, and my drink was empty for a bit before getting a refill. Dinner service can get very busy, as every table was once full in one of my visits. Would I come back? Absolutely.

Seems there's some weird disconnect going on I wasn't aware of... This location is now going by Las Mexicanos instead of Los Comales. Looks like almost all new staff too, that could definitely use some Customer Service training. The menu has a 3rd name on it that seemed off as well. I was not told to come to the hostess stand to be seated, no friendly greeting when I did approach the stand. Once seated, the chip & salsa dude was quick enough in dripping them off w/out so much as a greeting. Maybe he's the silent type? Who knows? 2 Now the real wait begins.... Nothing to drink nor any sign of anyone even slowing down @ my table to take a drink order. Maybe they were fighting to see who would take my order? ‍ I was almost finished w/the basket of chips, decided what I wanted and LAID THE CLOSED MENU on the other side of the table close to the edge, hoping someone would notice. I had decided if they couldn't be bothered to come by the time I finished the chips I was leaving. Magically a waitress finally shows up w/3 chips to spare. Placed the order for water and dinner at the same time. Dinner came out quickly but looking pitiful w/barely a full tablespoon of guac, tomatoes or sour cream. Cheap bastards! The flour part of the chimichanga was NOT CRISP, & I was given plastic utensils to maneuver this sad plate. I have eaten here MANY times as I live in the area so I am more than disappointed w/this experience. Not a single customer sitting in the middle @ the 4-tops & @ least 7 booths empty; on a Saturday night @ 8:00 pm. Sad that they have lost so much business, I'll think twice before considering spending my money here again.

It seemed as if the server didn't want to take care of our table! The food and cocktails were fine. Floors are very slick so beware. The server seemed ok and then midway through the meal, her energy shifted. I hope that she was just having a tough day. Can't say if I'll for sure come back whenever I visit again.

I got the Fresco bowl I think its called, no protein. Bland, the little bit of guacamole they had ion there? No taste. The flight of salsa was so so. Hubs wanted to try a margarita. That was the best thing about the whole experience. $70 later for two people the only thing we have to show for it was my hubs waking up from sleep later on sick-three times. He ate nothing else after our lunch besides fruit so you do the math. So yes, our first time will be our last. My daughter has been here with friends and said the only thing she enjoyed was her drink so this may just be a good place for drinks.
