The chips and pico de Gallo were really tasty and worth visiting this restaurant for these alone. The chicken tacos were very tasty and also worth ordering g again. The brisket tacos....I would not order the brisket ever again. Coming from Texas, I'm very picky about brisket and this brisket was extremely fatty and not very flavorful at all. The restaurant is quite small with nice outdoor seating. The area where this restaurant is located is very nice, beautiful and comfortable and I do recommend The Other Door....just not the brisket.

I ordered the al pastor burrito. It was definitely tasty and well-prepared, with good portion size and fresh ingredients. That said, the flavor profile didn't quite hit the classic al pastor notes I was expecting. Typically I look for that balance of sweet, savory, and a little tang from the marinade and pineapple, and this version leaned a bit more straightforward and mild. Still, the quality of the food and the welcoming service made it an enjoyable visit. I'd be open to coming back and trying some of the other items on the menu.

You will quickly learn the names of the owners and feel welcomed whether they are busy or between waves of regulars. Depending on our mood we love offerings like chorizo tacos, heuvos con chorizo or breakfast wrap with seasoned potatoes, tortas, burritos, pozole, and hongos mushroom quesadilla. For dinner, the enchiladas mole are the best we've ever had. The menu has something for everyone and beverages range from sodas to agua frescas, or a selection of beers and margueritas. The owners truly aim to please you! Go at slightly off-peak hours for the best selection of tables.

I ordered for takeout and even with the language barrier the waitress was super friendly and we figured it out. They have horchata and their horchata is delicious. It's not as sweet as other places and has a little something extra that I enjoyed about it. I ordered 2 steak tacos, 2 chicken tacos, a steak sorta, and rice. Their tacos are on the smaller side, but very flavorful. The torta was bigger than I expected but I absolutely enjoyed it. The rice through me off as it wasn't traditional Mexican rice like I was assuming. It had a garlic/buttery taste but it was mushy. I'll be back to support a local business.

I used the drive thru to take my order and there's wasn't many people there at the time. But normally this place can get packed. They do have a couple of tables inside for indoor seating.

It also comes with 4 sauces. 2 red ones and 2 different green ones. My favorite is the lighter green one. It has a little kick but it's still pretty good.
