The place is a decent size so there are plenty of seats. It's certainly a hole-in-the-wall, no frills type of place. You're not coming here for the ambiance. We really wanted tacos, so that's all we ordered. We were disappointed to find that you couldn't really mix and match the meats. 1 order comes with 3 tacos so if you aren't coming with a big group or if you're not trying to have 30+ tacos you will be limited in what you can try. I wish I could've tried all of their tacos but I wasn't interested in taking a ton to go. We settled on the Tripa, Lengua, Cachete Res, and al Pastor. The tacos came out pretty quickly and they were pretty good. The meats were flavorful and the tortillas were solid. They weren't the best tacos I've ever had, but they were good. Aside from not being able to order just 1 taco, my other gripe is the price. 1 order of tacos is $15 and $5/taco is a little steep in my opinion. Sure these tacos are bigger than your average taco, but as someone who likes to order a variety I have to dock points. I wouldn't mind coming back to Pancho's, but it wouldn't be my first choice for food in AC.

However, with…read morethat being said my retired parental units from down south had made a trip based on an amazing promotion that they found and would be staying in the Tropicana Hotel and Casino. Though I don't usually join them on these jaunts the need for some family time was present and I was able to get a ticket for the bus that leaves from my area fairly quick and easy. I'm in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and the ride is about two hours give or take depending on traffic. Once I arrived and having caught up for a few minutes we decided to get some lunch. My early start found me only having one of those Carnation Breakfast drinks on the bus. There were a few interesting options to enjoy but Mom suggested Casa Taco and I'm not one to argue since I love Mexican food myself. The downside was that they were not yet serving lunch so breakfast it was. We all kept it simple and ordered the "Two Eggs with Meat" listing on the menu. I had scrambled eggs with sausages and my folks the same but with a differently prepared egg. A steaming cup of coffee and orange juice complimented the order. The restaurant was clean and very open in terms of layout and while I didn't catch our servers name she was very friendly and brought our orders out as quick as it was possible. At the end there wasn't a scrap on my plate but like I said I was hungry. So if you find yourself in the Tropicana down in Atlantic City, NJ this is a good recommendation from me. I cannot say when or if I will be back here because I like to try different places whenever I visit somewhere but only time will tell.

We enjoyed the shrimp fajitas, green chicken enchiladas, Barbacoa tacos, carne asada tacos. The tortillas are home hand made and so are the chips. Salsa you just want to eat more of. We look forward to our next visit. We are from CA so are quite picky of Mexican food and this family brought all their authentic recipes.

There was a difficult language barrier while speaking on the phone as it was strictly spanish. Not only that, but staff seems to be very negligent and distracted while on duty having their backs turned seemingly doing nothing as it was not busy. I could not understand/hear what they were saying behind the counter, they need to speak up. They were very unfriendly and raised their voice at me. Pt2/update; I was debating whether or not to post the last review as i have gone to Rojos for a long time standing and as far as i knew them it had been a respectable and very friendly business. I've had a little bit of everything on their menu and today i settled for a Quesadilla Al Pastor as it has always been one of my favorites or had been. For starters the meat was very smell and oily and i thought it was Choriza, not pork. Not only did it lack the correct meat it also lacked pineapple i could not find many pineapple pieces and it looked like onions. I called back to try and make sense of the confusion and the lady was very hostile and aggressive she raised her voice at me and did not offer any type of solution or apology for the whatever mistake had happened, she assured me it was pastor although it was appeared NOT to be. I understand it is the end of the day and the only other reason i could see the meat could be this minute and mutilated was if only it had been the leftovers from the day. Again, i understand the day is coming to an end but if the staff or cooks see that the chosen food is running low, id rather them be transparent about it than give me garbage leftovers from the bottom of the bin. At the very end of the day it brings me a lot of shame to have to post this about what i once believed to be a hidden gem in OC i hope they hire friendlier and more competent staff, the customer is ALMOST always right.

They also gave me two sets of cutlery which was a win for me. Most places usually forget to add cutlery. I ordered the Bandeja Paisa| 8oz NY Strip Steak.

Money well spent because the food was delicious. The portion size was enough for two servings. Everything was seasoned well and cooked to perfection. I live two hours away and am willing to drive the distance for the food again it was that good. Ten out of ten definitely recommend.
