Had hoped that this taqueria would be as good as the reviews… unfortunately, I would assume, the reviews in many cases come from people who have low standards for food quality and taste… the 15 taco tray took about 40min to get served, supposedly a 2L soda came with this order (only for deliveries though) so no issues with the extra for the 2L Jarrito. The real issue here was the long wait and the nearly cold tacos after such long wait (on an empty place?), the overcooked carne asada and almost dehydrated pastor meat (carnitas were only tender since they are more like slow cooked), not to forget that the garnishing vegetables (Cambray onions/Nopales) were quenched in vegetable oil that tasted more like motor oil… I asked the lady, who took our order, what kind of oil is used for preparing the vegetables and how long they re-use it?… a bit inconvenienced she replied: I think mazola (I replied Mobil-1) and she responded well that is up to the cook, it doesn’t really matter!🤮 Nice headache is what followed, unfortunately making a living for some seems like neglectfully done at the cost of others well being?
Better quality ingredients and preparation would logically produce better profits and a genuinely better reputation for such a joint, but that needs to be valued… this place has potential, but apparently no will or awareness!
Completely different location, however “Los Tacos #1” or “Santo Taco” seem to offer a quality that is wanted/expected (clean tasty and properly prepped meats and vegetables) cost wise the difference is merely cents in most items… easy math!

Food quality was really good, and the wait staff was very good as well.

Best kinda of hole in the wall Mexican place. The shrimp taco is an absolute must. It is one of the juiciest and freshest shrimp I had in a taco covered in a fried batter. The Jamaica was also perfectly made with just the right balance of sweet and sour. Also ordered the Al pastor and carnitas which were also good, but the flavor didn’t stand out.

Awesome Chicken Chilaquiles and Cheesy Birria Tacos! The staff was super kind and the food came out fairly quick. Also one of the few remaining spots that give you free chips and salsa!
The chicken was grilled and juicy and the consomme was perfect for an early brunch

Ordered the Chilaquiles (Rojo) w Pastor and the huarache. Easily some of the best mexican food we’ve had in the city!!! Especially coming from SD, we miss the easy access to great tasting mexican food and this really hit the spot. Would come back anytime for it. The chilaquiles was the star!!! Even though it was spicy, it hurt so good hahaha. Thank you for the great food!

The bistec torta from here was so good, I went back three times in two days. I also tried enchilada con salsa verde and another bistec platter, which were good, but I still like torta the best. I will be back for more tortas!
I paid with a credit card for the first time via the card machine by the cash register. I found it weird that I got charged via square app on a personal phone to 'Ismael' (shows up as beauty/barber shop) the second time I was there. I paid with cash the third time I went there as I didn't want to deal with the weird charge via the staff's personal cellphone.
