| - I hit this place right before the lunch rush got into full swing. I got the two taco combo, and it really hit the spot. The tacos shells are deep-fried, which gives them a crispiness without allowing them to crumble in your hands the way baked corn shells are wont to do. Their salsa (they hand you a refrigerated bottle at the register when you place your order) was flavorful and had just the right amount of spice for me. The side of rice and beans that came with this were just OK...the rice was a bit dry, and the beans a bit watery. Still, though...you can't go wrong with the tacos. I had chicken, but the beef ones are every bit as good when I've ordered them in the past. (As a side note, if you eat in, they apparently bus your table for you. I was wandering around up front and by the door, trying to find a place to set my tray and dishes, but there isn't one.) If you're looking for a healthy meal, this is probably not the restaurant you want to end up at. But, if you're in the mood for simple Mexican fare that has been consistently good over the years at a restaurant that is more upscale than the "-bertos" clones, I highly recommend you give them a shot. My only wish is that they had a location in central Phoenix, but it's probably a good thing for my waistline that I only get to go there once in a blue moon.
