    SINCRONIZIDA: A quesadilla and torta fusion.
    Jay P.

    SINCRONIZIDA: It's like a quesadilla and torta fusion. 2 layers of tortillas sandwich cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and avocado giving it a nice appealing and fresh color. The avocados were freshly cut and not oxidized at all and we opted for carne asada instead of the more classic ham. It tasted good and I liked it more than a plain quesadilla but it did fall apart easily and best eaten with fork and knife or cut into small pieces. Cabeza Tacos: The meat was overflowing and tender while still retaining a meaty taste and not overcooked to oblivion. It was light on onion and cilantro and I wish there was more, the cilantro was also wilted and almost looked like it had been dried. I also had to add a small amount of salt to the meat. Al Pastor Tacos: Same feedback with the garnish. Meat was tender and had a nice grill/flame taste. We ordered on a weekend around 11:30 and the food was ready in 10 minutes.

    Tripa & Lengua tacos
    Susanna K.

    Parking lot available. Pretty busy during lunch which is a great sign. We ordered 8 tacos to share, $28 total. I had the lengua and tripa tacos which were awesome. Generous portion with great pricing. The tripa was extra crispy, would totally come back for more. Would be nice if they throw in a chips and salsa bar lol

    Carne Asada, Chicken, Al Pastor Tacos
    Jessica P.

    Stopped by on a whim to order a few tacos to-go after a hike. Ordered 3 of different meats so I can try the assortment. Ordered Carne Asada, Chicken, and Al Pastor. Tacos were OK. I like my tortillas a little more cooked/crispier so it can hold up while eating. The tortillas were a little mushy in my opinion. Meat was flavored ok.. The place was small, hole in the wall, and the staff was really friendly. We paid with card, so I don't think it's cash only as I've seen in a previous review.

    My favorite spots weren't open so I looked on yelp and found this place! Great portion size and pretty decent food, staff was kind, and this place was pretty close to my house, so I'll be back soon

    Super burrito
    Christopher B.

    Great service and food. Large servings. A little hard to find but that's not a bad thing.

    Carne Asada and Shrimp $15.50
    Stuart B.

    The carne asada & shrimp burrito was hella good but expensive. This restaurant sits sort of off in the cuts. This was my first time ordering food. They took my order over the phone and it was ready in 10 minutes. Everything was great - the super burrito has fresh avocados and the hot sauce is spicy but tasty. I think $16 is too much for a burrito though. No chips included. Hence, 3-stars. Cheers, Stu

    Hole in the wall joint. Literally. Got a regular burrito. Their regular version is like a wet burrito. Has a tasty green sauce on it. Add $0.50 for card. Great service and delicious food. They got regular meats and seafood also. Awesome!

We were brought fresh tortilla chips to start, which were great, along with a Lazy Susan-style setup of salsas and toppings. Unfortunately, this was a bit of a miss for me--there were raw onions, raw jalapeños, a green salsa, and more of a plain red hot sauce rather than a true salsa. I would have preferred something more traditional like a good pico de gallo or a more balanced house salsa. Ordered a bottle of Dos Equis, which at $7 felt a bit steep. Most entrées were priced between $17-$25, which is pretty standard. I had the carnitas and they were excellent--really flavorful and well-prepared. I also tried a bite of the chile relleno, which was solid as well. Overall, the food was good and the service was strong. That said, it's a bit out of the way for me, and while I enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to come back.

Everything on the menu sounded so good and had to go with the shrimp ceviche and carne asada plate. While I waited for my order, I had fresh salsa and fresh chips. I could not stop eating the chips and had to keep on ordering more. The ceviche was super good and the carne asada was super tender. The rice and beans had the right amount of flavor and the jalapeño had the right kick. The server was really friendly and gave great recommendations on drinks. The restaurant had good lighting, noise level wasn't too loud, and the vibe was pretty chill. Plenty of parking and easy to get to. I drove across the bridge to try this place out and I would do it again!

    Waste of $100, and we both regretted our meal. It had been a few years since we'd eaten here, but…read morewe had really enjoyed it in the past, so we were looking forward to coming back. We arrived around 4:30 on a Sunday and were seated in the bar area. After waiting 10-15 minutes with no water, chips, or salsa, we still had no idea who was supposed to be serving us. The bartenders never acknowledged us, and nobody stopped by to even say, "We'll be right with you" or thank us for our patience. Eventually, someone came over and asked if we were ready to order. Our food arrived almost right away, but my fiancé realized his added carne asada was missing. The waiter didn't bring it out until he was nearly finished with his meal because he never rang it in.. I ordered the combination fajitas, and they were just okay. The entire time, there was a woman walking around in a blazer who appeared to be a manager, but she seemed more focused on training the bartender than checking on guests. Had she been paying attention, she would have clearly seen how frustrated we were. When our server finally brought the check, we noticed we had been charged twice for the chilaquiles, plus separately for the carne asada that didn't even arrive with the meal. After another 5 minutes, I flagged down who I believe was the manager to fix the bill. She corrected it and brought it back, but then we were left waiting another 5-10 minutes for our server to actually process the payment. The waiter never even thanked us before we left. Overall, the experience was incredibly disappointing, especially considering how much we enjoyed this place in the past. Neither of us plans to return.

Not a lot of taco spots are open late at 10p but I saw that PNT was open. My family and I pulled into the driveway and were confused because it looked and sounded like a bar. There were a few people standing outside and I asked if this was a bar or restaurant and the gentleman said it's a restaurant. We walk in and got some stares because it was late and we had kids. Didn't matter to us. Everything on the menu sounded delish and they had al day breakfast items. We ended up going with the following: 1. Chicken sandwich- 10/10 my teen loved this. It was a crispy thinly sliced chicken breast with all the fixings, and pressed to perfection. 2. Chicken Caesar salad - 10/10 the lettuce was Romain, tossed in Caesar dressing and parm, with grilled chicken filet. 3. 4 tacos de asada - 10/10 yummy chopped steak, seasoned and grilled to perfection. I'm not sure if the evening chef cooks better or maybe we were starving, but the food was great! Ambience at the time was pretty loud but I figure it's because people hanging out in the bar area. Definitely will be back.
