It pains me to write this. For years this has been the absolute best authentic brick and mortar taco joint in Charlotte. No more. It appears the ownership has changed and the standards have gone with it. The tacos Al pastor are now more Americanized, the chicken tacos were very bland, the pico they used to have has been replaced with some bland salsa you might find at a shopping center Mexican restaurant.
There are now two guys in the kitchen who had some vulgar conversations, and the whole feel of the place has changed. The tacos are still decent, but the lack of attention to detail has dropped them off the top of my list. I will now put tacos la hidalguense on Little Rock in the #1 spot, but it's technically a taco cart.
It's really a shame. I've probably eaten here 50-75 times over the last 6 years. I am the Duke of this place, by far. We may not be back of changes aren't made.
