| - This was the second and last time I will ever eat here. I still can't understand the hype around this place when there are so many better and cheaper taco places in this city. I wasn't blown away the first time I was there either, but was convinced to try it again. My SO can't tolerate super spicy food so we made sure to ask one of the 3 servers we had what was the least spicy. He listed the 3 most spicy tacos, but when we asked another server the same question later, they said that one of those we were warned about earlier wasn't that spicy, so no one that works there really knows what they're talking about and everyone has a very rude/impatient attitude to them. We ordered the chips and dip, side of chicharron, tuna ceviche, beef cheek taco, shrimp taco, crispy cauliflower taco and fish taco. Pretty much everything is fried, all the tacos are buried in a mountain of cilantro and raw onion so you'll be tasting everything for hours afterwards. Everything in way too spicy for some reason, even before you sample the several hot sauces that are on the table. Most Mexican places make their food somewhat mild so they can showcase their hot sauces, but that's not the case here. In terms of the taste of the tacos, there wasn't much that really stood out. The crispy cauliflower had fresh mint in addition to the pile of cilantro, which did not go well at all. The chicharron at Electric Mud are way better too, as the ones we had were chewy and bland. In the end the best thing the 4 of had was the ceviche, as all the tacos except for the beef cheek tasted the same because everything was fried and buried under the same pile of cilantro/onion. Our part of the bill was over $40 and we still left hungry. Definitely won't be back.
