Ive always heard of this location but I never was near the area. Luckily, I am moving in this general area so I can stop by. Also, luckily for me... I am also a fan of this place too.
The location is near the far corner of Walmart. It looks like a little hole in the wall location. A few parking spots outside but I am happy to report, the inside is a little nicer than outside.
Once you step inside...there is a few chairs and tables and you order from the counter. The menu is above using TVs. I guess they change their menu prior... it is a-la-carte now. No combos or anything... just order whatever you want exactly.
On this visit, I decided to get the Korean BBQ taco, Camaron (shrimp tacos, and al Pastor. A side of queso and of course the lovely and delicious Horchata.
The queso arrived shortly. This is probably one of my favorites quesos in the world and let me tell you... I have tried plenty. They also brought out plenty of chips and the salsa. The salsa did not have much heat but the chips were freshly tasting. It was salted nicely and had a little good flavor form their house spice blend. The queso followed shortly. Gooey is a good way to describe it. The flavor was strong in the cheese and it was very liquidity but it holds the texture to make it gooey was also perfect.
Overall, the tacos were all very delicious. The Korean BBQ has thinly sliced beef, kim chi slaw, and some sort of semi-spiced sauce. The flavor of the beef was lacking and a little chewy but the Kim Chi brought everything together nicely. In the end, this is probably one of my favorite tacos given the beef.
The Camaron shrimp taco comes with shrimp, avocado, pico and a chipotle aioli. The shrimp was a little too soft which made me question if it was fully cooked or not. However, I would rather eat semi undercooked food versus overcooked (Not including chicken, mind you). The flavors here was nicely balanced. The chipotle aoili had a little smokiness and very small amount of heat. The shrimp marinated in garlicky-morita mojo was delicious. This comes as a very close favorite.
Of course.... I had to end with Al Pastor tacos. These are my ultimate favorite tacos in the world. Adobe marinted pork, caramelized onions and pineapple. I am sure they do not make this the traditional way that I am aware of...I could be wrong, but I dont taste the charred bits from the spit or being roasted slowly. However, I do love my al pastor. Plus this has little bits of pineapple which gives it a lovely sweetness.
In the end, this is one of my favorite taco places in the area. I will be new to this area in the end of this month but at least I found the location where I am will be here most of the day and night and in between. Food is quick and delicious. The location is small, and the staff are averaged.. cant ask for more or less at a taco location. read more
