    Best Chicken Taco ever invented. Challenge me on this and try it out!!!
    Paul F.

    This has been my secret spot for so long. So keep it between you and me OK. It's in Vallejo in a hidden corner with a short drive thru. Doesn't look much from the outside but this place is always my go to, when I visit my high school friend E-40. I just bought eight tacos with sour cream and eating it as I'm driving. I'm also writing this as I'm driving too. I know, I know, you're saying ' Paul you an idiot you're going to get into a accidennnnadkfootijejejsnnxskkakmmak&$@i

    I had these a few times delivered to work and it has always been great. Fall off the bone and delicious Mexican style rotisserie chicken. I came in person for lunch today and had the French bread, slaw and potato salad as sides and wow that was great. Home style flavor in both potato salad and slaw was truly fantastic. 4.5 in the food but there was a bit of a smell coming out of the kitchen which turned me off so 3 in that, rest rooms are ok and place could use a refresh of paint and just remodel so for sure I will get it to go from now on. Agua de Orchata was nice and not too sweet, service was good and even though they where very busy I got food very fast.

    Chicken express is supposed to be all the rave, maybe I had a one off..? Came here for the loads of cheese I've seen from other reviews and asked for extra on my tacos, whatcha see is what I got. Wife ordered the Taco salad and said it wasn't anything special. I'll tell you what tho, if they can throw some of that extra cheese on this stuff, I could be a regular and wait in that line that seems to always be wrapped around the building. I'll try it again to update, but it probably won't be for a while or at least until I forget about the lack of cheese I received.

My spouse and I recently tried take out from here and it was part of a birthday extravaganza weekend :) Items tried: taquitos dorados de papa, chilaquiles rojos and sopa de pollo. The good: The staff was kind and really quick to take the order and get the food ready. It was hot and packaged well. The flavor was great and not greasy on all the items. The beans on the chilaquiles plate were *chef's kiss* and the taquitos were perfect. The sopa de pollo was on point flavor wise as well. Tasted just like homemade sopa. The chilaquiles were amazing too. The tortillas (corn) were excellent and fresh. The not so good (and reason I knocked off two stars): While all the dishes were great flavor wise... something pretty miserable happened with the sopa. I can't say for sure but it seemed we were given the very last dregs of maybe the days prior soup? Or perhaps someone didn't really take care in that part of the order. I'll never know for sure. The container wasn't all the way full and it was mostly broth. I was a bit shocked and actually counted that it contained one single cube of potato, 2 small pieces of carrot and 3 pieces of chayote. And 1 chicken leg. This is supposed to be a whole meal (not an appetizer). It wasn't filling at all. I wasn't going to eat my spouse's meal so, I tried to get full but it was kind of a sad thing. It came with sides and unfortunately the rice was dry & slightly old. The rest of the sides (cilantro & onion + tortillas) were fresh and good. We plan on trying it again and I don't think I will try sopa here again. Even though, that's one of my favorite things ever.

I'll never forget standing around eating one after another between swigs of Modelo with friends... California tacos have always been generally great, but this place is special. Since Oaxaca, I've only had as good al pastor in Mexico City last year in a similar setting. So I'm super excited and grateful that Vallejo now has its own amazing popup serving these incredible tacos, and more. My husband is a burrito guy with a big appetite, yet the servings are so hearty he can only eat half in one sitting. And my al pastor tacos sent me back to that Oaxaca bus stop with adventures ahead. Sitting on a busy corner parking lot, this place is super popular so expect to wait, plus parking can be tricky. All said, the service is efficient and people are patient to wait for what they know is a good thing. While waiting you can bag up your own garnishes like pico, salsa, pickled peppers, sautéed or raw onions, and more. I saw some people enjoy their food in their cars, but both times we brought ours home since we live close and the packaging keeps everything together well. Truly the most authentic Mexican al pastor and more you'll find in Vallejo.

Then you have customers hyping it up before you order, making my mouth water drool but when you get your order and take a bite you like yuck This is not a 5 place neither is it worth 4 . At best it's rated a 1 . The food is not even seasoned. Yes it's big portions but no season in the taco meat. I got 4 asada tacos and 1 asada torta for the cost of $29 and both orders weren't seasoned. Service was low level. Ambiance is a parking lot. The music was the only thing that was good. I really can't believe people be so excited to be in line for unseasoned food. Never again. So yes this is not a place I'd recommend to anyone.

We order ahead because we're on a tight schedule -- I'm a busy, involved parent getting him to the gym after school. A few weeks back, despite ordering plain chicken, his plate came out with pico de gallo. He won't eat it that way. I didn't have time to drive back, so I let it go. The following week, we ordered in person and the waitress assured me she double-checked the order. My son's meal came out correctly -- but my plate was made plain instead of how I ordered it. Not a big deal. I can eat it. I called simply to let them know there was a mix-up -- not demanding anything, not asking for free food. What I wasn't prepared for was being called a liar. I was told the order was made correctly and that if I wanted it fixed I had to bring everything back immediately -- including the salsas. I explained we were on a time schedule for my son's gym session. Instead of understanding, I was told my "games won't fly" there and that I was being a "Karen" looking for free food. My son was hungry and upset during the call. She heard him. We drove back anyway. I placed the plate on the counter, and once she saw it, the mistake was obvious. Only then did she offer to remake it. At that point it wasn't about the food -- it was about being accused of lying and being publicly disrespected in front of my child. Weeks later, I noticed the order was never refunded. I had to dispute the charge with American Express to get my money back. I've supported this restaurant for years. This wasn't about a wrong plate -- mistakes happen. It was about how we were treated when trying to resolve it. I can't return after being called dishonest and a beggar over a simple order issue. He sido cliente de este restaurante por años. Normalmente voy los jueves después de la escuela porque mi hijo siempre pide pollo simple con papas. Ordenamos por adelantado porque tenemos poco tiempo -- soy un padre involucrado y después lo llevo al gimnasio. Hace unas semanas, pedimos el pollo simple y salió con pico de gallo. Mi hijo no lo come así. No tuve tiempo de regresar y lo dejé pasar. A la semana siguiente hicimos el pedido en persona para evitar otro error. La mesera aseguró que revisó la orden dos veces. El plato de mi hijo salió correcto... pero el mío salió mal. No era el fin del mundo. Yo me lo podía comer. Llamé solo para avisar que había un error, no para pedir comida gratis. No estaba preparado para que me llamaran mentiroso. Me dijeron que la orden estaba correcta y que si quería que la arreglaran tenía que regresar de inmediato con todo, hasta las salsas. Expliqué que teníamos que ir al gimnasio. La respuesta fue que mis "juegos no funcionaban ahí" y que estaba siendo un "Karen" buscando comida gratis. Mi hijo estaba llorando de hambre mientras escuchaba todo. Aun así regresamos. Puse el plato sobre el mostrador. Cuando lo vieron, quedó claro que el error era real. En ese momento ofrecieron rehacerlo. Ya no importaba. No era la comida. Era el respeto. Semanas después noté que nunca hicieron el reembolso. Tuve que llamar a American Express para disputar el cargo y recuperar mi dinero. Un error en una orden es humano. Acusar a un cliente fiel de mentiroso y de mendigar comida no lo es. Perdieron mucho más que el valor de un plato esa noche.

Upon entering, there's a fuel smell in the air which was a little unnerving but I also thought that it might be the type of fuel used to cook because it reminded of going into establishments at home. Anyway, Plenty of servers and smiling faces. Food: we ordered bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers as an appetizer. They were raw. Literally cold raw bacon that was charred on one side. Honestly, we were ready to go.... in my mind but we were exhausted and hungry. They took the plate and reworked the contents. Moving on. My husband had a burrito and I had the whole fried fish. I was happy with the fish. Condiments are everything and there's was ok ( and they charged for every drop of salsa $1.50 for the 1oz cup.) Pleasant folks though...
