The tacos were good. The salsa was extremely spicy (still edible, but I prefer a more mild salsa, especially in a restaurant setting) and the chicken taco which claimed to be spicy, actually wasn't, which I thought was kind of strange. The pico de gallo on my fish taco was also very hot since it contained a lot of jalapeno. Out of the 3 tacos I got the mahi mahi was my favorite.

One of my all time top favorite Mexican restaurants in this area. The menudo is great here, it's a shame it's only available on the weekends. Get it with the corn tortillas.

I love Tacos El Norte (TEN). I basically always get the Torta and it’s a side of beans. The service is always amazing. Great atmosphere and everything. I do think the presentation of the food could be better, but what does it matter when the food is absolutely stunning. ?
