| - Went here yesterday for the first time. Liked their beer selection, but we didn't drink because the hubby's on antibiotics this week. Their cherry soda is surprisingly yummy without being teeth-chatteringly sweet - rather refreshing.
Staff here are super nice. Small setup, pretty loud inside, really upbeat, so I wouldn't recommend for crabby-I-don't-like-people-needs-a-lot-of-personal-space types.
We ordered the 2 layer tacos: mine with steak & sour cream was very tasty. Meat was well-seasoned, nicely cooked with a long, low & slow-cooked consistency. Although there was something in the seasoning reminiscent of Ortega or Old El Paso taco seasoning, I liked the way it tasted and it seemed like there was plenty of garlic, onion, and other spices, too.
Hubby's chicken & bean taco was just ok. I think the chicken meat was rather mild, could have used more seasoning.
We also ordered a combo burrito (ground beef & pinto bean). While it had taste, the pintos were way undercooked (crunchy). We didn't eat much of that.
We really liked their sauces, salsas, and guac. The corn salsa is very mild, but nice texture. I especially liked their cilantro citrus sauce - bright and zingy.
It's nice to have a neighborhoody taco joint that offers good beers, generous portion sizes, and friendly staff. I think they'll refine some of their recipes to remedy some of the hiccups. We'll definitely be back and we wish them the best of luck!
