I visited Pinches Tacos during a February weekend afternoon.
Atmosphere: Different yet cool
The entire menu is written in chalk, which looked pretty cool, if I do say so myself. The music added to the Mexican atmosphere, if that's what they were aiming for. The inside of the restaurant is very cramped, so it's good that there is outdoor seating.
Service: Not bad!
The menu is huge, size-wise and variety-wise. The servers were nice to me as I ordered my food. They handed me a stand with a picture of a calavera, which I thought was pretty neat. Having this meant I knew that they would come give me my food and wouldn't have to pick it up in the cramped indoors.
Food: Authentic and enjoyable
Upon getting my food, it was hot, hot, hot! The foil wrapping my burrito conducted the heat from the beans really well, and upon biting into the burrito I got, the food was steaming! The beans actually tasted like authentic, made with lard and proper seasoning. My burrito was hot and delicious, although waiting for it to cool would not have hurt. The chips and pico de gallo were fresh and tasted adequate.
Overall: Indeed Real Mexican food made by Real Mexicans
Worth a visit for some good Mexican food. The food is tasty, the service is timely, and the location is awesome.
