"I ordered the same carnitas tacos, but they were missing the green sauce on top, had an excessive amount of onions, and the oily sauce was just awful—definitely a 1 out of 5 stars. The el pastor tacos were also bland compared to the ones in Orange, so I’d give those a 2 out of 5 stars.
The rice was good, though, and I'd rate it a solid 4 out of 5 stars. I also tried everything at the salsa bar. The mild salsa was decent but tasted a bit watered down, so I’d give it a 3 out of 5 stars. The medium salsa was good, earning a 4 out of 5. The creamy chipotle sauce, on the other hand, was terrible—it lacked the amazing flavor and kick that the Orange location delivered. This one was way too smoky, drowning out all the other flavors, so I’d rate that a 2 out of 5 stars.
Overall, it seems like either the chef at this location was having an off day, or the Orange location is just significantly better. I don't think I'll be returning here anytime soon; it's worth the extra travel to go to the Orange branch. I’d recommend avoiding this one! On a positive note, the staff were friendly, and the restaurant was clean and inviting, but the food left much to be desired."
