| - I decided to come here after hearing about their Taco Tuesday special with little to no expectations. I really just wanted $1 tacos - which are only $1 if you get the 10 taco deal, and It's $1.50 if you don't. They also have a 3 tacos plus a drink for $5.00. I think the best deal in the house is their margaritas ($2) and beer buckets (5 bottles for $10).
Parking was pretty packed when I arrived (not the smallest of parking lot either) with 2 open lots. Entering through the gates, I can see why this place brings in a crowd on Tuesday. On the patio, they play lively Latin music as everyone enjoys their drinks and food. The line was not too long - the friendly staff works fast to get orders in, but getting orders out took maybe 20 minutes (not a bad time considering how packed it was). Getting a table was hard as well. You have to be ready to pounce on a table once it clears.
The food. If I wrote this review alone on just the food, and not considering the price, it would probably be only 2/5 stars. I had the mango peach fruit drink (pretty good, a little too watered down), 4 grilled chicken, 4 carne asada, and 2 carnitas. The tortillas are okay, nothing special. I personally like that they were not too soggy and didn't break so easy. I thought the chicken was going to be just GRILLED, but the final product was shredded chicken soaked in a broth. Carne asada seemed like it didn't get a good sear, and it possibly was rushed too quick or soaked in juice too long. Carnitas were the best, but I mean it's carnitas... always good - this one had nothing special to it. Lots of salsa and toppings to choose from; all were about medium spice. The lighter green sauce had more tomatillos sour to it, lighter red sauce has a stronger tomato base, dark red sauce is thicker with spices, and dark green sauce had a stronger hint of maybe oregano or cumin (was my favorite, especially on the chicken).
