| - We went here for the first time after wanting to go here for awhile! We decided to take our daughter and grandson who cautioned us that it would be pretty pricey. We didn't listen because we wanted to have lunch with them but honestly, how much can Mexican food cost? Well we found out. First of all the ambiance is fun and it has a lot of great features about the Mexican culture. The taco truck in the front of the place was a cool addition. The Lotteria cards as table cards was a cool idea. The car seats as booth seating was pretty nice as well and the stringed lighting makes you feel like you're in a backyard in LA. We ordered 3 horchatas. They are great and I recommend them! However, you literally get a child size plastic to go cup of this drink. Thumbs down for presentation and portion on that. Then the home made guava flan came out. To me it was bland. You can't taste guava in there at all. So why even put it out there? Thumbs down. The flautas came out. Presentation was awesome! Portion was perfect and it was really really good! Two Thumbs up. Then the main course. So Asada tacos were pretty good. I do have to say the tortillas are decent but a little on the thick side and I like them thinner. We tried the chicken mole and it's good too but I don't recommend it as a taco. Just a dish with beans and rice because the sauce is too think to be in a taco. A very disappointing dish was the Al Pastor!! We got it in a burrito and taco style. They both fell flat and short from taste and quality. Just to let you know... A PERFECT Al Pastor should have piƱa chopped and marinated with the meat and the meat should be tender because of the acidity of the pineapple. Neither of these things happened and I found myself having the worse Al Pastor I've ever had in my life. Which is very upsetting because that happens to be my favorite meat. Beans and rice were fresh. All of the tortilla chips were overcooked and burnt! Even my nieto wouldn't eat them and he LOVES chips! So on to the service. We are greeted by a female server who was very helpful and friendly. I recommend keeping her because she's funny and pays attention to everything that's going on in that restaurant. I didn't get her name but she's crazy. In a good way. So I'm sure you'll figure it out. The other server who happens we to be pregnant, she was the opposite. She needs to go home and not work in an eatery with people. She didn't look like she wanted to be there, was quiet and looked tired, which again, if she's pregnant maybe she shouldn't work in that type of job. Especially as a safety issue because what if she falls!? She could hurt herself and baby.. She actually made the experience a little bad because she wasn't as friendly and upbeat as the place itself. I feel bad because I know it must be tiring to have to work but with the enormous amount of money being shelled out by patrons for your overpriced food, you really need to consider who is serving it! Our bill came and it was $82. Yes, $82. For 3 kid size horchatas, 2 bland flans, 2 flautas, 1 burrito, a taco combo plate, a kids quesadilla (which by the way we asked to gave a to go box so we could take it with us and the server never brought it put so we said forget it and left it behind) 7 asada tacos. It literally was $16 for 5 tacos! Lol.. Well we tried it and we now know that we are sticking to our Lindo Michoacan in Henderson or Taco Y Taco in Henderson.. Hell, I might just move to Henderson if it means getting a decent Mexican dish in this city... Sorry Piches Tacos. You guys are Pinche expensive and it Pinche wasn't worth it.
