Dan would be so disappointed to see how poorly this taqueria is doing. As a customer of more than 30 years I'm sad to see the decline.
I was originally excited when I saw that they were available for delivery on Grubhub, DoorDash, etc. I have been ordering a couple of times a week. At first I thought the issues were with the delivery person. I changed services and problems continued.
Now I've gone in and ordered directly with the exact same problems. There isn't any consistency. No consistency in the food or even in the opening hours lately. If they are out of an item, they will just cancel your order without contacting you. This has happened 3 times. They've also been closed 3 times in the last week at 2-2:20pm when operating hours show they're open until 4. The delivery system took my order, then I got an email that it was canceled by the restaurant a bit later because they weren't open.
The C&D and later D&D that Dan built served hot, fresh, fast burritos that were made to order. They were FULL of quality ingredients cooked and seasoned perfectly. The atmosphere was festive and service was great. You could expect a line to order, but it moved quickly. Your order would be ready quickly, you'd proceed to check out, be provided paper towels and thanked for your business. The thank you was sincere from an humble man. The person with the order of one taco and a single canned drink was given the same respect and attention as the person picking up the orders of trays of tacos for local plant workers.
Those days are gone. You won't be greeted with a smile, very little interaction will take place. It's very sterile and robotic. The personnel doesn't make eye contact or any conversation with you. It almost seems as if it's a bother to be taking your order. The ingredients aren't the same, the recipes aren't the same. They can't be, because they aren't consistent. The quality just isn't there.
I'm attaching pictures of my TRIPLE MEAT Mexican fajita taco. It was so greasy it had to be wrapped in TWO layers of wrap and there was only 6 tablespoons of beef on it. I re rolled the taco and tore off the excess tortilla. It was nearly half the tortilla. After 2 bites I just threw it away because for the first time in more than thirty years I had purchased something from D&D that was truly inedible. Very little meat on the double meat & triple meat burritos has been an ongoing issue for the last 6 months, but this was pathetic. I won't be wasting anymore time or money if there aren't any attempts to improve or make it right. read more
