Reviews
I saw a line at this spot when I was looking for another place and was intrigued. It's a drive-thru in a restaurant plaza and they have a menu like a typical drive thru but you pull forward to place your order. I initially went into the pick up line instead of the order line but quickly corrected my error. I ordered a Barbacoa taco and Torta; as well as a spicy pork taco. The tacos came with onion, cilantro and lime on the side. After placing my order I pulled into the pick up line and waited about 6 minutes for my order to be brought to me. I brought my food home and was excited by what I saw and ready to eat. The Barbacoa taco was okay 2.5. The meat was greasy and tasted like they fried it because it was crispy. I was expecting a more tender piece of beef that tasted like it was slow cooked for hours. The Torta was okay (3.5). The bread was delicious and fresh but the toppings and meat were meh. Not as fresh as the bread. The spicy pork taco was delicious(4). I did add a little salt and it made it the best dish of the night. This place is okay if you are in need of a Mexican crave that needs to be satisfied. I've had better other places in the area.
Ghetto but good. I call this place GUT BUSTERS because it's great going in but painful coming ouch, I mean out.
Y'all. The flavors that I just experienced. The freshness, the authenticity, the quality!! I ordered the Torta de la casa and 2 barbacoa tacos thinking the Torta won't be that big at a price point of $7. Boy was I wrong. I had no business ordering the tacos and couldn't finish it all but I'm glad I tried the barbacoa taco. It was like pot roast on a taco - the meat was so tender and flavorful. The Torta was definitely the highlight for me but another reviewer was right - it would be nice if they would cut it in half to make it easier to eat. That was only a minor inconvenience because it was so delicious. I will be returning way too often and so glad I gave this place a shot! I can't wait to try some other tortas and introduce my family to these tacos.
This is literally a hole in a wall. At first glance you will be like WTF? This place has been here for years and their fresh food is the reason why its still existing. Their menu is simple but that is what makes this place special. They don't get overwhelmed with a crap load of items on their menu where they can serve it right up and fresh. To me this is the best place for tortas. The only thing that I don't like about the tortas is the melted cheese that they use but other than that they are amazing. They are not greasy like other places and their milanesa is cooked fresh. The food is cheap but it's good. I get a torta, 2 tacos and drink and pay $10. Some tips to this hole in the middle of a parking lot: 1. Place your orders at the window. As soon as you enter the sitting area there is a window on your right. A lady will come up and will take your order. 2. They are limited on English but they can understand it. 3. You pay after you are done eating. They take credit cards or debit cards. 4. There is a drive thru but like I mentioned on # 2 they are limited on their English.
