The cashier with the gang tattoo on his face has a staring and attitude problem. He took my order then tried to ring me up without taking my boyfriend’s order until I placed the order for him. Another male customer came in and cashier just wanted to look him up and down like there was a problem.
The shrimp in my burrito was half cooked and the burrito was mostly sour cream. I tried to politely tell the kitchen about this, but suddenly no one could speak English.
There was food debris all over the kitchen floor even though it was not busy. Both main kitchen staff were eating out of the prep food in plain sight.
I want to like this place but it just wasn’t it.

All in all, I’d have to say this is yet another one of those order-at-the-counter taqueria places. Sometimes that model means the focus is really on food quality and bold flavors, but in my opinion, that wasn’t the case here.

The kitchen is open, so you can watch the food being prepared, which I do appreciate. As for the flavors, they struck me as pretty average overall — nothing stood out as particularly memorable or unique.

I ordered the two-taco plate: one al pastor and one chile verde. I was intrigued by the idea of chile verde in a taco, but when my plate came out, I was disappointed by the portion size. There was barely enough meat to make one taco, much less the usual “two tacos from one” that’s common when they provide double tortillas. The al pastor also fell short — a bit dry, and not nearly as flavorful as versions I’ve had elsewhere.

On the positive side, the rice and refried beans were both very good, and the salsa bar had some solid options. That said, I didn’t love seeing a sign limiting customers to two very tiny salsa containers per order. I doubt they enforce it, but it left me feeling a little awkward about taking a third, especially after spending around $35 for two plates.

Overall, I wouldn’t call this a bad experience — just not particularly satisfying or interesting. Nothing about it would prompt me to come back if I lived in the area.
