My amazing Lumberjack Special and Gertrude, Gertrude has avocados!! Yum!!
Dianalynn R.

I have had two different tacos so far, my favorite was the Gertrude because of the six spice combination. The Lumberjack Special was delicious As Well. I also had an elote, with their special sauce, it had a great spice and was so over the top!! I'll bring my friends next visit for sure!

Yelp said they were open. I went to the address, and they weren't their. No truck. No tacos. Nothing.

Sorry I didn't take a picture before scarfing down the chicken burrito!!!!! So so so delicious!…read more I'm never so surprised walking past to go to a so so coffee shop and popped in and don't regret it at all! Best burrito I have had in a very long time! Try the chicken burrito you will not be disappointed

-Do yourself a favor and just go to Oscar's Tacos!-…read more Due to the convenience, I've been here WAY too many times, so this review is absolutely not based on one bad experience. I've given this place chance after chance, and the biggest problem is consistency. It's always hit or miss. When it's "good," it's honestly just okay. But when it's bad, it's disgusting. I've tried a large portion of the menu because I come here so often, and eventually you get tired of ordering the same tacos, burritos, and tortas. Their carne asada and burritos are probably some of the more consistent things I've ordered. I've noticed that the items that seem to sell more frequently tend to taste okay, probably because they're being turned over more often. But almost every time I try something different, I regret it. Even the tacos are inconsistent. Sometimes the tortillas taste like they were literally warmed up in a microwave instead of heated properly on a comal. There's no slight browning, toasted flavor, or those little doraditas you expect from a good taco tortilla. They're just soft, almost steamed-tasting tortillas. The meat is the same way sometimes it tastes "fresh," and other times it absolutely does not. The caldo de res was another NO. Anyone who makes caldo knows that when you first boil the meat, that foamy, fatty residue rises to the top and you skim it off. Their broth tasted like that wasn't properly removed. It had that chuquío, dirty-meat taste heavy, greasy, foamy, and almost like you're tasting the impurities from boiling the meat rather than a clean, flavorful caldo. That particular taste completely ruins a soup for me. The ceviche was also bad. The lime flavor wasn't fresh, tart, and acidic like ceviche should taste. It was bitter and stale. The best way I can describe it is when you cut a lime in half, leave it sitting exposed for a couple of days, and then taste it. It develops that old, bitter citrus flavor. THAT is what their ceviche tasted like. I've also ordered their fries and received fries completely saturated in oil. They weren't crispy, golden, or even slightly browned. They were limp and soggy and tasted like they had absorbed a bunch of old fryer oil. It was basically like eating potatoes soaked in grease. But TODAY was finally enough for me. I've had their fish soup once before, and it was just okay. Nothing memorable, but edible. I decided to give it another chance today, and I couldn't eat it. The fish smelled BAD. I'm not talking about the normal strong smell of seafood. Fish smelling "fishy" and fish smelling like it's turning bad are two completely different smells. This smelled OFF. The broth itself also had this almost slimy texture that made the whole thing even more nauseating. It completely turned my stomach. Then I got to the cabeza. I've ordered their cabeza before, and normally it has those browned, flavorful pieces that actually taste good. Today, I was literally getting big WHITE chunks of fat. Not nicely browned, flavorful cabeza chunks of white fat. Between that and the fish soup, I was DONE. And this is NOT the first time I've received food here that I couldn't eat. I've actually had to return food on previous occasions. Today I didn't even bother. I was so disgusted that I finally accepted that I need to stop coming here, regardless of how convenient the location is. I genuinely felt sick to my stomach afterward and like I wanted to throw up. I'll also mention that, to my understanding, the same owner has the ice cream place next door. I've tried food there as well and ordered nachos. The chips were stale. So unfortunately, my experiences with food quality haven't been limited to just one item or even one visit. The one thing I WILL give credit for is the cashiers. They are always very sweet and friendly. They know me by now because of how often I've been there, and I've always appreciated how they treat me. My complaint has nothing to do with them or their customer service. I know losing one customer isn't going to make or break a business, but I've spent enough money here and given this place more than enough chances. Food should not be this inconsistent. I shouldn't have to wonder whether I'm going to get a decent meal or tortillas that taste microwaved, meat that doesn't taste fresh, greasy caldo with that dirty-meat flavor, bitter old-lime ceviche, fries saturated in old oil, stale chips, fish that smells like it's gone bad, slimy broth, or chunks of white fat instead of cabeza. At some point, convenience isn't worth it anymore. Too many chances, too many fails. I'm done.

I'm a big fan of this taco spot during the cooler weather as sitting outside is ideal. This time I…read moredecided to turn the family own to what I called "my secret spot"... Usually I'm camped outside with a few cocktails and I stagger my order. Just to be clear, my favorite item here is the Carne Asada Sope!!! Service was great as they gave the family recommendations. Teenagers went for the (classic Azteca & burrito Mio) burritos and birria tacos. The consommé to them was on point as they finished it all on the burritos. Greedy kids also split one of my Sope's seeing how I hyped it up... and left crumbs!!! Salsa bar is located in the corner and labeled so you don't go blazin hot unexpectedly with a salsa. For the adults, we decided to go with the Asada Fries for the group to share, the Mulitas with Carne Asada, Steet taco combo with rice & beans, horchata's and of course a Margarita (or 2) It was a bit to hot for the patio our front that evening, and they do have a another one out back. The only downside was that that bathroom was down for the night so we didn't hang out for a round 2.

We arrived at 2:30 and decided to wait . While we waited the young lady was nice enough to give us crepes on the house. They were amazing. We ordered 2 different types of burritos (Cali and chile relleno) and a carnita taco/ birria taco and asada taco. The food was just ok. The meat had no flavor at all. The birria taco is supposed to be crunchy and it was soggy. It just was pretty mediocre tasting and I really wanted to like it. Personally the best part was the crepe that was served at bread and honey

We loved going to Blanco when we were in college in Tucson about 10 years ago, so we were excited to eat at this location! Unfortunately, there seems to have been some huge changes in quality of the food. None of us were crazy about anything we ordered (tacos and enchiladas)- even the chips and salsa weren't that great (none of it was terrible, but not as delicious as we all remember it being). We were there on a Friday night and the mood was kind of sad- none of us ended up wanting to get any drinks since the vibe was off, and we ended up going back to our hotel's restaurant after. The service was ok, maybe a little rushed which was odd since the restaurant wasn't super full. Our waiter asked if we wanted dessert and we asked to see a menu, and he just listed off the offerings and waited for us to decide. Since we wanted some time to talk about it, we ended up just asking for the check since it was a little awkward. Definitely a bummer- I'm not sure what happened. It is nice that they have valet though since parking is tough.

I saw only one server, he was waiting about 3-4 tables and seemed to be responsible for the to go orders, as well. He did not welcome me or my friend with me, so we took a seat until he was able to help us. After sitting for about 5 or so minutes, he hastily set two glasses of water down in front of us without making eye contact or saying anything to us. I said hello and asked if we could put a to go order in. He very obviously rolled his eyes at this request, and quickly removed the waters from the table and walked to the ordering POS. He did not say literally any words. Just gestured for us to stand and meet him at the kiosk. We get up and follow him, and I begin by asking for a chicken quesadilla. I did not realize this was something not on the menu, but it doesn't seem like a hard thing to make at a Mexican restaurant ??? He replies rudely, "That isn't even something we have on our menu. Do you even know what you want to order?" I was not understanding why he was acting with disrespect, as neither my friend nor I had treated him with any behavior similar to his. He quickly says "I am going to give you guys 10 minutes to figure your order out and get it together." He leaves. We sit down, and I texted my friend what she wanted instead of a chicken quesadilla. He returns a bit later and we try again. She asked for a bean and rice burrito, so that's what I ask for. He slams his hands on the counter, and huffs and puffs about this order, too. He goes "WE DON'T HAVE THAT EITHER!" At this point, I am really upset with how I have been treated. There was not one point where he was patient, kind, or respectful in any category. This is 100% not how you treat patrons. I ask, "Is us being here too much for you? Is our order too difficult? We can leave, if that is the case." He says it is. We leave. I have worked in food since I was 15 years old. I understand the stress and urgency that comes with a restaurant. At no point have I ever made someone feel badly for ordering. That is what your job requires. If taking an order for a bean and rice burrito is so overwhelming, I would heavily consider a different career path. Disrespectful and incredibly unprofessional. 0/5 stars if possible :(

Totally let down by the food but their green and dark salsa is GOOD and their draft beer is ice cold. Got there, guy at the front didn't know the menu (I'm not from in town) and he pressured me to order more food than what I wanted even though I said I only wanted two tacos. Ended up getting peer pressured into their rice and beans ($8!!!), two tacos, and a draft beer (don't get me started on the beer ordeal). When I got my food, the rice and beans consisted of a a 1/4 c scoop of mushy white rice but the beans were DELICIOUS. Tacos arrived cold as ice. Let their team know it was cold and ended up taking 20+ minutes for my two tacos to come back even though it was a slow evening. Lot of attitude served when first getting the tacos, and while they gave chips about 15 minutes after waiting for the second cook, the tacos came back barely warm and SO salty. I'd love to come back for the green salsa, beans, and ice cold beer.
