| - I went there for late lunch and ordered one asada, one al pastor taco, asada sope and an horchata. The seitan for the asada is flavorful, however, the texture is too spongy for my taste. The al pastor seitan had the same type of spongy texture as the asada, but this one lacked flavor. I wouldn't order it again.
What I was really pleased with was the sope. The dough was not greasy, not undercooked, not too thick. Also, the beans were on point, soft and had its own flavor. The sour cream didn't really taste like anything and the shredded cheese looked more like mozzarella cheese instead of queso fresco or cotija which is what it's traditionally served with.
The horchata water was by far the only item you couldn't that was vegan. It had that sweet and cinnamony taste that regular horchata has.
I knocked down 3 stars due to the following:
So, I left this place thinking about giving it 3 stars, maybe 4, maybe. However, around dinner time I called in to place an order for a pick up. I knew they closed at 8:00 PM and it was 7:40 already which is why I called it in. A man answered the phone and when I asked him if I could place an order for a carry out, he paused and said " you wanna place an order right before we close?" Mind you, they still had another 20 minutes to go. How rude. I told him I knew that and would be there within 10 minutes. He then proceeded to take my order.
Also, the establishment seemed cleaned but it was extremely hot in there and when I arrived the cashier lady was all by herself at the front. She was taking orders, taking them out, cleaning tables. She was really hustling. And she (cashier/bus lady/server) told me that the A/C wasn't working properly so maybe I just went on the wrong day. No big deal. Regardless, the place is missing decorations. The walls seemed to have been painted recently with a burnt orange color. And that's all that was done to it. Also, the chairs and tables are extremely worn down.
This place has potential but lacks customer service, uniformity and the food needs improvement.
