| - I waited to leave a review on this place after my 2nd trip as I really wanted it to be part of my portfolio of go to Mexican food joints in my vicinity. Unfortunately, my 2nd trip was consistent with the 1st. On my 1st try, i ordered the 'Al Pastor' Tacos. When they came out, i was pretty shocked how little content each shell had. It was finger food. But, it doesn't matter if the food tastes great. And in this case, it didn't. The meat was so tasteless and bland. The key to a good taco is the flavour of the meat to offset the texture centric shell and the fresh veggies. The shell was a typical shell. And the veggies seemed fresh. But again, the meat lacked any seasoning (even salt and pepper) never mind any kind of braising or marinating. I was also disappointed in the salsa sides. They scored well in freshness, but also lacked taste (probably seasoning). The 2nd time I went, i ordered the steak burrito. And NO, I DO NOT like rice in my burritos or most places that offer such products. I think the burrito was worse then the tacos. Firstly, the steak was bland yet again. No seasoning. The heat and water from the pepper and onions, melted the cheese into oblivion and made the burrito soggy like eating a tasteless soup. Having a soggy, tasteless burrito is probably the worst type of burrito you could have. It was again, quite small for $10. I'm really disappointed in this place as it's in my hood. And also, the decor is very inviting. I like the decor and seating. Service is fine. I can forgive the portion size, but man, the lack of flavour will stop me from coming there a third time.
