I'll start with the server though. He was very kind and super attentive. I feel bad leaving such a poor review because he was definitely chill and I bet the other people that work there are just as nice, but El Caballito, you definitely failed to satisfy my hunger.
My SO and I were at a convention and were super hungry, we stumbled upon this place thinking "tacos? yes". Right when we went down the stairs we heard very bass-heavy dance music. This didn't bother me, what did bother me though were the tacos. The thing is, the menu outlined different types of tacos - chicken, pulled pork and others that sounded equally as delicious. They have an option for single and triple, so naturally, both my SO and I ordered a triple thinking these tacos were going to be massive or at least a good three bites each - and we were going to devour it all :).
My thoughts were "12-17 dollars for three tacos? That's reasonable", however, these tacos are so small. SO SMALL. I looked down at the plate of six, very small, possibly 3 inch tortillas with maybe a 1 1/2 tablespoon amount of filling. I could eat one of those in one bite. I thought only one of our plates had arrived, but no... that was it. Taco Bell has bigger tacos, man. They were good, I'm not going to deny that, but come on, do people not care about the size of these things? Am I crazy?I didn't take a picture because my phone had died, but if you've been there sober, you should know what I'm talking about.
My SO was very, very disappointed and so was I. When our bill came to $30+ it was definitely not worth it. We were still hungry after that $30 overpriced snack, that we went back to the convention and gorged on street meat from a food truck. $7 dollars for a burger and fries that actually satisfied our hunger vs. $30+ for 3 measly bite sized tacos :(
Bottom line: Come here for drinks, the night life possibly, but not for food...unless you want to pay $30+ for bite sized tacos.
