| - In town for just one night staying at Aloft and wondering what we could eat within walking distance. My husband hates Ruby Tuesday, so that was out despite it being practically next door. I found this place on Google maps and, since it was less than a mile away and had good reviews, we figured it was worth a walk to try it out. When we got there, we were surprised at how tiny the place was. They were also playing loud, vulgar music, so that was also a big turnoff. I asked the person at the window (I say person, because I never quite figured out from the looks/voice if it were a guy or a girl) if the meat were seasoned, and he/she said it was. I ordered a chicken and a carne asada taco combo, and my husband got a carne asada quesadilla combo. Well, the person lied. The meat had no detectable seasoning. We loaded it with pico de gallo, and that covered up the bland meat. Both meats were kind of gross, but I guess the carne asada was worse, because it's tough and chewy with random fat throughout. The rice and the beans both had pretty good flavor, although the amount they gave you was pretty miniscule and amounted to 3 or 4 bites. If I skipped the meat entirely and just had vegetarian tacos, it would be an improvement, I suppose. My husband opened his quesadilla to show me, and there was so little cheese that I didn't see why it still qualified as a quesadilla. We probably wouldn't go back unless it were the only option, because the good pico, rice, and beans don't compensate for the low-quality meats.
