| - Tacos tacos tacos! Listen up fellow Yelpers - this place is tacos galore! And I'm not talking about the crunchy shells or soft flour tortillas of Taco Bell or the bland tacos you get at every other "Mexican-like" restaurant. I'm talking about the flavorful soft corn tortilla taco that you can get from the street stalls in Mexico. The one where the corn tortilla is made fresh in house, the meat is marinated and cooked to perfection and toppings only include cilantro, white onions and a side of lime that you freshly squeeze on top for a little acidity to cut the richness of the meat. Yep, that's the kind of taco I rolls with. They offer the Americanized option to add lettuce, cheese and sour cream. But why disgrace a taco like that? If that's what you like - go to Taco Bell!
I came with friends for dinner Friday night and was very surprised at the selection of tacos available. I opted for one chorizo, one steak and one tripe taco to accompany my chimichanga. Why so much food? Well, I was hungry. No judgment, ok?
Like every other Mexican place, they serve you free chips and salsa while you wait for your meal. The difference here is the quality of the chips and salsa. Because their corn tortillas are made fresh in house, the chips you get have so much more flavor and freshness than you'd expect. The salsa was the perfect accompaniment to the chips.
My friend and I each ordered a house margarita with a salt rim. I chose mango (cause no other fruit compares to a mango) while my friend opted for the green apple. Check out the size of the margarita glasses - I went to pick It up and was surprised how heavy It was. There wasn't as much alcohol as I'd like. Maybe I'm just an alcoholic but I prefer stronger drinks, especially with the heavy price tag of $10. But I won't let that take away from the food.
The chimichanga was smothered in a white queso sauce that was delicious but the chicken inside was not to my liking. Too much onions, chicken was tough. The rice and beans, however were perfect. So why give 5 stars if I didn't like the margarita or chimichanga? Have you been listening? TACOS!
Each bite of the taco I ate was mouth watering flavorful scrumptiousness. It was so good, my friend pointed out that I closed my eyes and made weird sounds as I bit into It. Yea, It was eye closing, Harry Met Sally good. Chorizo was seared and full of spice, Steak was marinated and tender, tripe was stewed to tenderness then cooked in its own fat till it has a slightly crunchy exterior. And the amount of meat on each taco is ridiculous. I'm no salad-for-dinner kind of girl but 3 relatively small looking tacos filled my belly perfectly. Did I forget to mention the variety of salsas they give upon request? Three hot salsas that made my brow sweat while still mild enough to taste the individual flavors. They just serve to enhance each bite of taco. And it's only $2 each. Did you get that? Two buck chuck. How do they make a profit giving so much food at such a small price? Even better, they offer $1 tacos all day on Taco Tuesdays. Are you kidding me? A couple tacos, a couple beers - that's all I need on a Tuesday night.
This place is about 30 min from my house, 45 min if you add traffic. I don't care. Today is Tuesday. Can you guess where I'll be headed?
Treat yourself to some tacos. I wouldn't even bother with the other menu items. Well, maybe I'll try the elotes...
