I ordered 2- 3 taco platters and got 1 and had to reorder. I ordered onions and cilantro on the side and somehow got 3 tacos with onions and 3 with both onions and cilantro- my kids were NOT happy to pick out all the stuff. The beans tasted canned, but the rice was yummy. The beans were too runny and leaked all over and made a mess into the rice (see photo). Overall okay, but I'd try other places before returning here.

I heard about this place from a co-worker... and was intrigued by the "taco stand in a grocery…read morestore" description. Usually I find that weird hidden location taco shops are some of the best, LOL. But unfortunately not the case here. I will say the tacos I had were pretty authentic, and the meat flavor was okay/good enough. The beans were watery and a very grey color... not appetizing. The rice was bland... I prefer some veggies in my Mexican rice... this was just orange rice. Overall, I wasn't impressed. There are better Mexican options in town.

For appetizers we ordered white queso, guacamole to go with the tortilla chips ! The guacamole was so good, so smooth, not chunky. We all ended up ordering the combination plates!

I tried to ask the Manager but he just interrupted and talked over me. Kept telling me to contact Door Dash. I tried to ask why, since they don't make the food. He said it was a 3rd party. So to get their refund through them. I was just trying to ask about what came w the dinner. After 10 minutes of not getting a word in. I said listen, you need to shut your mouth so you can even hear me. He responded you can't talk to me like that and hung up. No, reason to treat people like that at all. I never wanted a refund but with service like that, I can order from any of the 20 other places in town that are Mexican places. Guess they don't need any more business.
