"**The Good:**
- **Presentation:** The dishes were beautifully arranged, showcasing the food in a visually appealing way.
- **Service:** The service was commendable. The staff was friendly and attentive, and our order was delivered promptly.
- **Rice and Beans:** Both the rice and beans were delicious. The rice was fluffy and flavorful, while the beans had a hearty texture that complemented the meal well.
**The Not So Good:**
- **Authentic Tacos:** We ordered Asada, Carnitas, and Alambre tacos. Unfortunately, they all tasted fairly similar and lacked the distinct flavors we were anticipating.
- **Ingredient Balance:** Each taco was overloaded with cilantro and chopped onion, which overwhelmed the taste of the meat. This imbalance made it hard to appreciate the primary flavors.
- **Corn Tortillas:** The corn tortillas tasted somewhat store-bought and slightly stale, leaving a strange aftertaste that took away from the overall taco experience.
- **Horchata:** The horchata was disappointing; it had a chalky texture and lacked the rich flavor we expected, indicating it might have been made from a powdered mix rather than from scratch.
In the end, we ended up deconstructing the tacos, discarding the tortillas, and trying to enjoy the meat on its own. While there were some positive aspects, the overall experience left a lot to be desired. The excellent service and tasty side dishes showed promise, but the main attraction—the tacos—did not deliver. With some changes to the balance of ingredients and freshness, this restaurant could really excel."
