| - I've been to Mexico. These are not Mexican street tacos.
The location and hours are great for me, it's on 16th Street (east side of street) and is open 24 hours.
The menu varies from burritos to tacos and a few things in-between.
They speak functional English there, so you can order, but picking up may be difficult if you don't know how to count in Spanish (they announce order numbers in Spanish). I had to help a non-speaking couple get their order.
The people that frequent this place range from families to cholos. Just depends on what time of day you go. During the daytime, I would prefer to go to Rancho Market a block away (they have better al pastor tacos).
I ordered 5 tacos, 5 different meats. The pork tacos all blended together flavor wise, it was hard to really tell the difference between the al pastor and the adobada. The cabbage they put in was dry, and deterred from the flavor. I took the cabbage out of the other ones after the first taco. The salsa is where this place tanks. It's rather bland and the spice is way off.
Their menu is confusing at first, but stare at it for 2 minutes and it starts to make sense. Essentially it asks you what type of meat you want for taco, burrito, burro etc etc.
All in all, I'm disappointed considering the hype around this place. I still drive an extra 20 minutes to Super Burrito, which has better salsa for the tacos (albeit their tacos are also not that great).
