| - I recently came by this Me Gusta Tacos location for lunch with some friends. The manager was nice enough to let us push some tables together so we could all sit together. Inside was clean and there's a good amount of tables. The menu says they offer all natural meats, sustainable fish and real fruit agua fresca. The food definitely tasted fresh and the salsa that's made from scratch on site each day is very good. One friend couldn't get enough of the salsa verde while I couldn't get enough of the salsa roja. They have a "spicy level" on each jar, but everyone at our table agreed that it's off because the spiciness simply wasn't there like indicated, though still fresh and delicious tasting.
Stacked Tater Tots ($7) - Tater tots, mild cheddar cheese, guacamole and sour cream. The tots were crispy and tasty. I really liked the fresh taste of the guacamole, but there was a lot of cheese melted at the bottom and I'd have liked the cheese to be put on more evenly on the tots.
Roasted Corn with Bacon ($4) - This was very flavorful. Bacon was freshly cooked, the cheese added great flavor and the corn had a nicely roasted taste. The burritos are so big that the corn was enough for a couple of us to share making the price reasonable for such a fresh and tasty side.
Me Gusta Bowl ($7) - Quinoa, roasted corn, red cabbage, avocado, queso fresco with mango dressing and your choice of meat. I chose the shredded chicken and it had good flavor. This whole dish had great flavor and I didn't even add the dressing.
Carnitas Tacos ($9.50 for 3 tacos) - Pork, pico de gallo and avocado on a corn tortilla. The tacos were filled with meat and tasted great. The fresh avocado slices really capped it off. A side of tortilla chips came with the tacos, so don't forget to use some of the fresh salsas on the tables on them. You can get small plastic containers of salsa for take out orders.
Steak and Egg Burrito ($8.50) - Carne asada, scrambled eggs, guacamole and mile cheddar cheese. This burrito also comes with a side of Breakfast Tater Tots, that have cinnamon or some sort of seasoning on them that tasted really good. The burrito was filled with a good amount of meat and eggs and was my favorite of what I have tried from here. Great price for the portion.
Korean Kalbi Tacos ($9.50 for 3 tacos) - Korean steak and Asian cabbage slaw served on a corn tortilla. Others liked this at my table, but I didn't. Hubby found a long black hair in his (it was remade with no problem) and some of the meat was still raw which isn't something I am a fan of.
Caramel and Bavarian Cream Churros ($2.50) - There was a good amount of cinnamon and sugar, but these churros could have benefited from something to dip them in like maybe whipped cream. Chocolate sauce would be great too. The caramel churros had enough "wet" in the middle to work, but the bavarian ceam churros were a bit dry for me. At $2.50 each I don't think a dollop of whipped cream would hurt.
Some of the other items tried was the Shrimp Burrito which some felt had more rice than shrimp, the California Burrito that was filled with tons of meat and flavorful, and Fish Tacos that I didn't try, but others seemed to like. I'm interested in coming back to try the Spicy Bacon Burrito. Since they are focused on serving healthy items, you will not find any refried beans on the menu and instead they serve black beans. Decent spot to stop for breakfast, lunch, dinner or meal to go.
