Not sure what all the hype is about. I have now gone 3 times and each time, I have been disappointed. The first time I went, I had a carne asada taco that while flavorful fell apart because it did not have a very substantial tortilla. And what they call flautas are what everybody else calls taquitos-nothing special here.
On the second occasion, I went for Taco Tuesday. Upon entering, there were two people ahead of me and I noticed that all the employees were eating lunch. Not one person bothered to get up and take the orders. We had to wait a good 5 minutes until the girl was done playing with her cell phone to order.
I ordered a ground beef taco and when it arrived, I saw that they didnt even put lettuce or tomato in it. It was simply ground beef in a tortilla-that's it. There was a salsa bar but I was not too impressed with the flavors of the salsas. My other tacos were alright-nothing amazing.
On the third occasion, I ordered a beef machaca chimichanga. While it came with sour cream and cheese, they didn't even bother to melt the cheese on the chimichanga. I honestly have had better chimichangas at Garcia's-which pains me to say. Oh, I also had big chunks of gristle in the meat. Yuck. Yuck . Yuck !
A shining gem? Give me a break.
