Alas, no fresh tamales to be found (I…read morethought they were supposed to be available in the weekends) but I did check out the rest of the store. Small store but lots of items packed in! Latino grocery. Notable for a big deli case with tons of meats and cheeses. Large selection of beans, rice, spices, tortillas, Jarritos and chips and such. Small produce area but everything they had was really fresh and not bruised. Small area of household cleaning items. Prices seemed quite good. Staff were friendly and all has masks on correctly when I was there and there was lots of cleaning going on. Several international phones available for calls. Small parking lot but also had very close street parking. Seems like a great addition to the neighborhood!

I have not been to Los Gemelos yet but I'll leave that to a future review. I ordered 4 tamales and a Carnitas for my brother and 2 Carnitas and 2 Pastors for me. The taco Pastors were bursting in flavors of awesomeness and the Carnitas were seasoned well. I haven't tasted the tamales myself but I recommend the Pastor if you can't make a decision and the Carnitas. The order comes with a side bowl of mild green sauce and the tacos come with limes. I like my tacos with cilantro and onions and make sure you get something to wash down those delicious tacos with. I usually get Jarritos Tamarindo soda though you might not like that flavor. If you're confused where to order go to the cash register as that's where they take orders. They don't take orders at the meat counter so don't go over there. Don't forget the drinks!

In all honestly, nothing particular happened here: I ordered my tamales (they stock them from El Poblano), they were fine. But the store is just dingy and meh.

Service was fantastic and they were very helpful with taking our order and explaining anything on the menu. We found a table and they brought us over chips/salsa/queso. All of these were so good and it was a struggle not to eat it all... I wanted to enjoy my tacos. Everyone in our group enjoyed their food and there were absolutely zero leftovers remaining! My two pastor and one steak tacos were overflowing with yummy goodness and I was definitely full afterwards! It's so nice that you can order tacos a la carte (or you can go the full meal and get the rice and beans etc, but I never eat them) for a reasonable price. I did squeeze my limes over the tacos, but they were so good as is I didn't even sample the salsas they brought to the table. It was the start of my day so I didn't get to enjoy an adult beverage, but certainly plan to be back again.

I think the first time or two I was at this place I didn't have as good of an impression of this…read moreplace. My previous view was based hugely upon the poor customer experience that I had endured. But two weeks ago I returned because I was seriously craving a taco and the other nearby place had finally convinced me they were second rate. (I wrote a small bit, about that location, not more than a couple weeks back. I won't name it, but I rather hope these words will be taken to heart and affect change) But upon my reentry to this place I was beyond pleasantly surprised. Eduardo, the owner whom I have since met, is the reason why I have returned. An active and dedicated team needs their captain. So trying to reimagine the perfect taco place I had a fresh mindset and I think I was accurate about that choice. Today marks the 6th time in roughly 2 weeks. Basic ground beef tacos with onions, cilantro and some lime. Cheap and delicious. Absolutely not a bastardized low fat gringo taco. Not at all. Heavy on the filling and tasty. It's only missing one ingredient: spice. The orders include a pair of sauces, a green and red plastic cup with something resembling a hot sauce. Tuesday is a $1 ground beef taco. Sparse but not lacking in the meat. So glad I tried again. Eduardo has a key quality that makes a place feel welcoming. Friendly, and informative about the foods that are available. I don't speak Spanish, aside from simple jargon that every English speaker has to have as their basic vocabulary, even in regular American speak day to day situations. The place vibrates with a lot of ethnic authenticity right here in my Middleton neighborhood where I've lived now for 15 of my 25 years in Wisconsin.

I arrived with a huge appetite and ordered the purple sticky rice, crispy pork belly, papaya salad, and eggrolls. I was absolutely blown away. The papaya salad was on another level--perfectly tart and sweet, exactly how I like it. The pork belly was easily some of the best I've ever had; the skin was incredibly crunchy, and the meat just melted in my mouth. It paired perfectly with the hot pepper sauce on the side. Top-tier food and wonderful service! Awesome and generous owners!

They do have some seating but the vibe feels like this is more of a carryout place (which I did). They have not only hot items but also pre-packaged grab and go items located next to where you order. Ordering is easy-make your selection and pay in the front. I ordered a 1/2 pound of pork belly and a link of sausage. I liked that both were fresh and presented right in front of you. From an execution/taste perspective, both were good (but not great). The sausage was on the greasy side and lacked the punch of lemongrass and other seasonings that are the mark of a good hmong sausage. The pork belly was also good but lacked the true deep crunch and crispiness that the top layer should have. Definitely would recommend it as it's hard to find such items. I will also be sure to try their pho to see how it stacks up.
