Alcatraz Restaurant & Taqueria

My friend & I were excited to try Alcatraz. Her tamale was dry and so we asked for some enchilada sauce. Still not great. I had the asada fries, which had a kick, but the asada was like the bits left on the grill after the cook makes the real dish. The dish would be better without the liquid cheese - Velveeta like substance -- they were drowned in. just Grated cheese, please. Friend boxed up all the leftovers because she can doctor them up. Waitress was alone, so service was slow at 6:00; never asked if we liked our meal or needed anything, we had to get her attention
Ambience was provided by the TV playing sports.

I want to start by saying, WOW. Amazing. Only ordered 3 tacos to go, and they were the best tacos I have eaten since my father passed away in 1999. The service was excellent, and I walked in from the hotel around the corner at 7 pm. The guy at the counter who took my order tonight, July 31, 2024, was awesome. I travel the United States for work from the east coast to the west coast. I am so glad I decided on this place.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️?. Everyone needs to stop in and give this spot a try. Help support this place.

Ordered for pickup during lunch and gave the time I’d arrive. The woman who took the call didn’t ask for my name which concerned me, but she did ask if I’d be taking it to go or eating there. No one offers that! Walked in and she knew exactly what I ordered! I was impressed because it’s been a bit since I ate there. Went back to work and my food was still hot, tasty, and filling! I didn’t need dinner because the portion was perfect! I found my new favorite lunch place.

I am impressed by the atmosphere, with it's unfortunate location in front of the Crystal Motel.The food has a lot of flavor.The menu has a lot of options, and the prices are extremely fair.
