| - I'd come back here, time and again, just for the crispy taco plate! To me, tacos to Mexican food are like chips to a sammie: you might get a taco on a combo plate, but the reason you ordered the meal was for something bigger and better. The taco? It's just a little more than a condiment. That said, I have no idea what drove me to order the 3-tacos (ground beef) w/ rice and beans on the side, but I think I was hoping for an unlikely gastric event -- a really tasty taco. I won!!! Crispy tortilla that was consistent throughout, and the remaining shell held its molded structure and didn't shatter like broken glass when you took a bite. I like that. I also appreciated that the taco was filled w/ meat, more so than lettuce, cheese and tomato. I like my taco old school, and the ground beef was flavorful and not dry. The aforementioned dressings were chilled and fresh. Crispy, tasty goodness. I should have ordered 3 more!
The rest of the meal? Not too shabby. I liked the refried beans, but the rice was really salty. Also, my buddy grabbed the salsa (well, it was more of what I would call a "red sauce"), so I don't know if there were multiple options, but I prefer a chunky salsa over a sauce. Still, it had a good flavor and was not overpowering as a condiment. Guacamole was okay, and the portion of the side order was plentiful. Regrettably, I found the chips to be a tad over done, and too thick for my liking (I enjoy a lighter chip, cooked in fresh oil).
All in all, a really good meal, complimented by friendly service. I'll be back for the tacos . . .
Cheers!
