| - The girlfriend and I are always excited when a new taco place opens up because we really, really love tacos. However, Crujiente didn't really do it for us. Here the play by play:
Drinks - expensive enough that we didn't get any
Queso Fundido - like most of the meal, they went for something outside the traditional. The flavor was decent, with an unusual earthy taste. Unfortunately, the consistency was a bit too oily (and the oil felt a little old)
Pork taco - by far the best food item we had. The shell was awesome, and the pork was very well marinated and moist. Everything here was on point.
Lengua Taco - dry, bland meat. I'm usually a lengua lover, but this one did nothing for me.
Lamb - The super-sweet Birria sauce overpowered everything else. The flavor would have been pretty good, if they just laid off the sugar a bit. I love mole and don't mind sweet with my meat, but this was too much.
Service- attentive, but oddly cold.
Atmosphere- dark and swanky
Overall, we likely won't come back. With so many great taco places at pretty much every price point. This one just didn't stick out
