    I asked for crispy chicken tacos, they are " crunchy" on the menu. Thank you for a true, crunchy…read moretaco de pollo. Gracias, por mi abuela's taco, bueno! Gracias I highly recommend the crunchy taco here, the only place in town that does them right. Thank you all so much, I'll be back. George

    Ok, California Tacos -- we are on strike two. I stopped there today for a quick takeout lunch. I…read morewent up to the register to order and in the middle of the transaction, the woman at the register answers the phone and proceeds to take the caller's order while I wait. Normally, I would expect the cashier to ask a caller to wait until our transaction was complete. I handed her my credit card and my burrito punch card to record my purchase. She handed back my credit card and the beeper. When my order was ready, she walked the bag over to me. When I got to my car, I noticed I didn't have my punch card, so I went back in and asked for it. The cashier began to argue with me that she had given the card back, but I said I didn't have it. I asked her for a new card, she still argued. Then she grabbed a new card and punched it once and tossed it down. I told her it had 5 punches on it and she begrudgingly punched it 4 more times. Let me clarify that this is my third punch card with this restaurant, and the card is full with 10 punches. I'm have literally spent hundreds of dollars here. But I will not tolerate good food with crappy customer service. Ok, end of rant!

    Ohhhh man. Good food, the kitchen cares. However, I can't leave a good review due to the Manager…read moreViolet. Walked in as a complete newbie off the street and she took my order and let me pay $20 for 2 tamales/2 sides when I could have had 2 tamales/ 3 sides for $14 on special. I asked her after why she didn't say anything and she told me to look at the menu closer, that I didn't have "common sense". I mean dudddde, I was looking up at the menu, the special was on paper on the counter. Would it be so difficult to anticipate I'd like to pay significantly less for more? Like WT...I was completely shocked when she said she WAS the manager.

    I ordered a #4 - 2 Tamale with 1 side. For the Tamales, I selected one Aztec and one Cascadia, and…read morefor my side, an Avocado Cilantro Lime salad. (I did not understand that 'avocado cilantro lime' is the dressing, not the ingredients of the salad.) My husband uncreatively copied my order, only with a single change - he had one of his Tamales "wet" (with a green sauce). Since my husband asked for one of his "wet", neither came wrapped in the traditional banana leaf. (Both of mine were wrapped together in one leaf, so that might explain it - they get treated as a pair.) Oddly, though he asked for green sauce, there was only a white sauce visible. Though the container was filled with a sauce, too, which probably was the green sauce. He said it had a "touch" of heat, but not enough to really make a difference. I'm not that familiar with tamales, but I did enjoy these. We both would have enjoyed some sort of actual hot sauce, but even without it, these were quite tasty.
