I'm not sure if that is because I ordered to-go or not, so be sure to double check if you choose to order from here. My meal did come with chips and salsa at least. Chips and salsa: 2.5/5. The chips weren't too oily and had a good crunch. The salsa has a little heat but was otherwise rather mild and plain tasting. Shrimp burrito: 2.5/5. Inside the burrito was some sort of creamy sauce, rice, salsa, shrimp, and cheese. The shrimp was rather bland, but the rice was decent, soft, and seasoned. Everything else was middling. The end result was just a passing grade burrito.

San Antonio College and honestly the location is perfect. The second I walked in, it was nonstop customers coming in and out, which is always a good sign. Even with how busy it was, the staff really stood out to me. The best way I can describe them is "bien atentos," like they treat you warmly and make you feel comfortable right away, almost like family. That kind of energy changes the whole experience. The music was great, the vibe felt super homie and welcoming, and overall it just felt like one of those spots people genuinely enjoy coming back to. I ended up getting the taco sampler and it was fantastic. Everything came out surprisingly fast considering how packed the place was, and you could tell the kitchen had a solid rhythm going. It honestly reminded me why Taco Nazo has such a loyal following in SoCal. The only thing I'll mention, and hopefully it improves over time, was the health rating posted in the front. It made me pause for a second, so hopefully that's something they tighten up because the food and overall experience were genuinely really good. Still, I'd definitely come back because the service and atmosphere alone made this visit memorable.

The timing is uncanny because I keep running into highly social, blue collar professionals with quite the appetite. And y'know what? Based on how comfortable they are with the staff, I can tell they are regulars that truly enjoy the food. That alone should tell you a lot! Definitely gotta show some love to their Taco Tuesday special (.89 cents for most; $1.99 for other proteins if I remember correctly). I'm rarely in the area these days, but their fish tacos with the salsa verde are so delicious. My friend who introduced this place to me actually grew up eating here after school. She loves the lengua and cabeza tacos so I'll have to give those a try the next time I'm in town.

But before ordering, we waited over 10 mins just to take our order. The restaurant was short staffed with only 1 server tending to 8 tables and 4 to go orders during our dining. She was very nice and served with a smile but she was pulled from all different directions and also checking the back to serve the good. I felt very bad for her and wished she had more help so it was a better experience for the customers and staff. All the food here is very reasonable with huge portions you can share as family style. I higher recommend the chicken quesadilla and the steak and check fajitas. I don't recommend the nacho since the plate portion seemed light compared to other places. The plate looked much later in the menu pictures. We also ordered the Pancho Molcajete that came with shrimp, steak, cheese and onions. it was not worth $42 and no it doesn't serve for 2 people. It was more of the black salsa sauce in the bowl than the actual food. Very disappointing and not worth the price. I would come back to order to go but not ever come back for a sit down!

This venue, located at the same address as the restaurant, can accommodate up to 100 guests for various occasions such as weddings, quinceañeras, and corporate events. They have Daily Specials on weekdays. Mondays: Hard Shell Taco for $2.50 each. Tuesday: Soft Taco $1.50 Wednesday: Wet Burrito $10.99 Thursday Fish Taco $1.50 Friday: QuesaBirria Taco $2.99 We ordered to go and bought 10 soft tacos ($1.50 each for today), and we also bought shrimp ceviche ($14.99). We had 4 steak tacos, 4 Carnitas tacos, and 2 Al Pastor Tacos. I liked the Carnitas and Al Pastor Tacos. They were flavorful but small. The Shrimp Ceviche was a bit pricey because the portion was small. It included some saltine crackers and 4 pieces of crispy tostadas. I will try their Fish Tacos soon.

This location is only open until 9pm. I have heard so much about this historic food truck chain and was eager to give them a try. I took the recommendation from a friend who is avid about this place and ordered their number 3 combo. For 15 bucks it came with a taco, burrito and drink. To my surprise it was relatively cheap especially when most places charge 10 to 13 dollars for just a burrito. The food overall was not as complex in flavors or combination as I would have hoped. The spicy pork talk was not too bad, but did have some flaws. One the pork was not spicy at all. The pork quality also could have been a bit better. There were many chunks of just pure pork fat which were indistiguiable between the meat chunks in taste or texture even when I separated them from the taco as a whole. The taco also comes with an interesting kimichi slaw. It was tasting, but surprising very sweet. I am not certain it that is just how their slaw tastes or if that is from a sauce they add too it. For the burrito I got a short rib as my meat. The burrito consists of rice, kimichi slaw and meat. One of the biggest positives was that eat bite was packed uniformly. You had a chance to enjoy each component of the burrito from the meat to the slaw to the rice. However I was surprised there was no beans, especially with it being a fushion spot. The burrito was filling I had to force myself to finish, but it was very sweet and one note flavor wise. I could have maybe had a quarter of the burrito or half and been happy, just because how rich and how sweet it was. I am not sure it that was due to the mariande they use for the short rib, or it was because the slaw mix, or if it was just because they are too heavy handed with the sauce they add, but it was wayyyy too much for me. I am torn between coming back again and giving them a shot. I think maybe it's best to stick to their tacos so you don't get that flavor fatigue I had with the burrito.
