| - The food is good, like solidly fresh and delicious. However, the two times I have been by were for lunch and they are slooooow. The first time, there were 2 people ahead of me, and it took about 20 minutes for us to get our 3 tacos (carnitas, crisp brisket and chicken) and some asada bomb nachos. Food is good enough to forgive the wait. Second time around, we arrived and there were again 2 people who had ordered (3 tacos each) ahead of us, and again it took at least (!) 20 minutes to get our 2 tacos (diablo shrimp and crisp brisket), asada bomb nachos and asada curly fries. Nothing wrong with the food. It's really good. The diablo shrimp tacos and crispy brisket beef tacos definitely stood out. The asada was as good as amazing home-cooked asada, but otherwise not special.
All that said, the time they spend on taking care of your order does show. The fries were crisp and not greasy as they were properly drained from the fryer, and the nachos were warm and not just hot item to melt over a plate of chips. Also, the carnitas was cut and each piece evenly seared crisp on both sides, etc., to name a few special details afforded when concentrating on getting out one order at a time.
The hot sauces are tasty and feel freshly made, but they do lack flavor. I don't just mean they lack heat, which they also do, but for the bold and bright fresh look and consistency of the sauces, they just don't pop. That is a serious bummer for tacos.
This review is only 3 because the wait on the kitchen prevents me from coming by for lunch anymore, and the food is good but just not special enough for me to make a special trip across town.
