| - Not surprisingly, Mexitaco is a restaurant that is Mexican and serves tacos. I so wanted to like this place, however, found that the quality of the food really varied between dishes. Tacos are fantastic here, particularly the El Pastor and the Chorizo. The coriander is a nice complement. I also ordered a drink called horchata, which tasted a bit like a watered down eggnog, but was thoroughly refreshing.
My friend ordered a steak, which she liked, but the side of nachos and guacamole was super gross - the nachos were all soggy and deflated. My other friend ordered a burrito, and the inside was completely cold - he had to get them to reheat it in the microwave.
I didn't try the desserts, but all were a variation on the theme of ice cream, tortillas, and deep frying.
Beyond that, the people are super friendly and attentive (and which is why I want to like it!) Spartan decor with Mexican talk shows, pop and Reggaeton music videos playing while you are eating (somehow this adds to the air of authenticity). Come here only for the El Pastor and Chorizo tacos.
