| - I came here for a late weekday lunch and they weren't busy at all - my 2 friends and I had no trouble acquiring a table right away.
Service was pretty good. The waiter was prompt in wiping down our table before we sat down and gave us our menus quickly. He was also floating around and being attentive in case we had any questions about the menu. Ordering was simple, and our food came out very quick (within 10 minutes). Other than this, there is basically no other table service - water is self serve.
I ordered 4 tacos - chicken, beef, carnitas and fish - and I had a horchata to finish off (total, $20). Each taco was a good size, and was wrapped with 2 soft tortillas. The portion of meat inside each was also generous. However, the meat was dry, dry, dry, dry...and oh, did I mention DRY? I know that these aren't stewed fillings, but I'd hope that the meat would be able to stand on its own without a sauce - but they did not. The meat tacos were disappointingly sauceless, with only a bit of salsa to make them go down (and not without a fight - I hate wasting food). Out of the 4, the fish taco was the best. The fish was tender and flakey, and it had guacamole and a chipotle sauce on top.
The horchata was okay - it was creamy, but lacked any distinct cinnamon flavour.
I am genuinely confused about the 4 star rating.
