    Steak fat from horrrible Torta Dinner
    Victoria A.

    From a Latina, this food was simply tragic. We ordered a carnitas burrito is was doused in sour cream and even then the carnitas were flavorless and dry. We also got a steak torta which there was no steak only steak fat in it with gross kind of Mexican cheese unless it was old cheese. We also ordered guac & that was the worst plainest guac I've ever had in my life. Don't waste your money here.

    Supposedly $20.00 worth of carnitas

    I had a taste for carnitas so I want to this place. I ordered the carnitas for "2 people" so I could have for dinner and my lunch Sunday. I got home and opened the container and I got this. Really $20.00 for this it's bullshit Don Rafa. Third and last time I go to this place.

    Tacos

    I've been here once before & I never had a problem but I went yesterday May 17th, I was actually very disappointed I took a bite of my taco and pulled a whole hair out of my mouth I didn't give the waiter a hard time because I'm a waiter and I understand I asked for a whole new plate when I received it I wasn't hungry anymore I didn't have an appetite after that I asked for a box to go and as I'm putting my food in the box there is another hair and the bottom of my rice I was in complete shook my sister also had a hair in her food but I didn't get a picture of that. I didn't receive a discount or nothing I had to pay full price for everything. I was very upset because the first time I ever tried their food it was very good. The pictures below are screenshots from a video that I took.

    Do they sell carnitas to go by the pound?

    They sure do! Call first to make sure they still have some. They have been known to sell out. Also, be sure to ask for the salty bits. :)
