"Now, let's get to the good stuff. The portions of meat were generous and flavorful. At the time of my visit, they only had three options: carnitas, asada, and pollo, which may have been because it was early in the day. The waitress also asked if I preferred shredded or grilled chicken; I opted for the grilled. The chicken was tasty, well-seasoned, and not dry, although it was diced a bit smaller than I'm used to, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The asada was decent—neither heavily seasoned nor juicy, but it wasn't dry and was definitely more than just a skirt steak taco. The carnitas, on the other hand, were excellent: crispy and meaty, and all the meats were generously portioned.
The one drawback was the tortillas, which were just taken straight from the bag—definitely not grilled. If they had served fresh tortillas that were grilled hot with a touch of oil or lard, these tacos would have been outstanding, especially paired with the fiery habanero salsa. I also asked for salsa verde, and the waitress brought out a fresh, hot salsa that was a vibrant orange, likely made from tomatillos and habanero. I only needed a little to add the perfect amount of heat.
As for prices, my boss picked up the tab (thanks, Brian!), but from what I could see, the tacos were probably around $3.50 to $4 each. I would happily pay that for the size of the tacos if the tortillas matched the quality of the fillings.
I'd love to see this restaurant invest a bit more time into their tortillas—perhaps frying them or using double layers would elevate the tacos to a whole new level. They are currently understaffed, but if it's not super busy, that wasn't much of an issue."
