The food was disappointing and overpriced, with service being just okay. Unfortunately, the overall experience was not good, and I wouldn’t recommend this place.

I've gotten carne asada fries from about half of the Mexican restaurants in the city, so that's my benchmark. Unfortunately this one fell flat.
Everything was good in it except for the meat. Carne Asada is 2/3 of the name of the dish, so needs to stand out. They do a fine chop of the meat into about 1/4 cubes. You want the longer strands of meat to bite into. But the worst part was the gristle. Very fatty meat. Some of the cubes were just all gristle, no meat to be found. I had to spit out a few of those, it was just entirely unappetizing. I would stay away from the carne asada, or head to one of the maaaaaany other options in the area.

Asada burrito to go, the meat was tender and juicy well seasoned fresh guacamole, meat was of low quality cuts with lots of fat, elastin and connective tissues, I found what appears to be an apple stem while chewing also found pieces of thin red cuts of meat appears to be bacon which brings me to believe they might recycle food I might be wrong but that’s my personal opinion I did not return to complaint with staff, I just won’t go there again, the red salsa was fire

Update: I've been a loyal customer for a while, but quality has declined MASSIVELY and it's too expensive to justify continuing to eat here. Just had a carne asada breakfast burrito with hardly any meat, and what little meat there was, was all fat. Extremely disappointing. There's another taco shop in the same complex that does $1 taco Tuesdays and it just better priced in general.
Friendly staff and a HUGE menu. Can't go wrong with anything you get here. Aguas frescas are always amazing
Really good place. We used the drive thru a couple times now and they’re fast :)Food is amazing, it has that Mexican flavor that I miss back home. We’ve ordered the street tacos and my favorites are the adobada and chorizo. The Ham & Milanesa Torta is my favorite so far too.I also ordered a “Al Gusto Burrito” over the weekend and it’s really good.Great service from the chef and the guys, I’ll definitely coming back with my friends.

Dietary restrictions: If you desire a GREAT place to dine in and ENJOY some AMAZiNG MEXiCAN FOOD! This is the SPOT!
If you're in a rush... TACO BELL is down the street!
I would NOT recommend the Taco Shop near TACO BELL! It's changed management several times over the years, and it will NEVER change my mind to ever eat at that establishment!
