I ordered tacos asada and al pastor, as well as a chicken tamale and a piña agua fresca. Everything was good and prepared to order. They are street taco style, with a double layer of corn tortilla on the outside and chopped meat in the middle. I ordered them to go -- they came with a few containers of salsa (a green tomatillo and a red one), fresh limes, and a bag of chopped raw onion and cilantro for garnish. I appreciated that they left those separate so I could make up my tacos fresh when I got home. The tamale was flavorful and packed a punch of lingering heat. I have no idea how the piña tasted since my toddler drank ALL of it in the thirty seconds it took me to get into the car. I'm assuming that means it was pretty good.
Overall, these were not quite as mouthwatering as the tacos I know and love in New Mexico and West Texas, but they were a good representation of the genre. I would eat here again! read more
