I've been drawn to the breakfast tacos as they have been discounted at least until last week. Now they have itemized charges for everything you add to your taco so I'm not impressed. Adding a sprinkle of cheese shouldn't cost 69 cents. A half teaspoon of pico de gallo they call 'Laredo style' was another 98 cent charge. My usual $2.99 taco last week cost me $5.35 today which is a little frustrating. I did enjoy it otherwise but if they want more customers they need to lower their prices.

I feel like most Mexican take out places have a section now where grilled veggies or avocado is the star. If you don't want meat, ask to create your own food. I asked for a vegetarian burrito. I subbed sour cream for guac and added onions. The onions were gigantic, not diced. The rice is Mexican rice, red with corn and other veggies. It's bland. The whole burrito needs salt! It's was just under $7, so that's reasonable, but there are cheap ways to improve the product. You get one red, really HOT, and one green, bland, salsa with a to go order. Quick on the cook, but don't expect gourmet.
