This was my first time here, and I didn't really know what to expect- nor could I find pricing for…read morethe AYCE Taco Tuesday- so this is going to be long. I hope it helps other people!
First of all, the all you can eat for Taco Tuesday is 18.99, or 19.99 if you want the seafood tacos (shrimp or fish), which is what I did.
Food was about a 3 out of 5; not bad, I'd go again, but I would be unlikely to seek it out or crave it. There were tons of protein options (I took a picture for everyone!), the steak was dry and chewy and the barbacoa had too much fat in it for me. (Barbacoa is supposed to be on the fatty side, this might be a me problem, give it a go!) The chicken options were all good, but very liquid-heavy, so they broke up the tortillas really really quickly. The shrimp was my favorite, I think I had 6 of them.
The way it works is, you order the all-you-can-eat and they start you with five. You go down a little line like a Subway and pick your proteins and then your toppings (onions, onions and cilantro, cheese, pineapple... there were more, but those are the ones I remember). Towards the end you tell them which sauce you want (mild, medium, hot) and they'll put them in little ramekins, plus limes. Then you pay at the end of it.
I thought I'd get a receipt or something showing I did the AYCE option, but nothing. The staff is amazing, I'll expand on that in a few.
When you pay that's when you tell the person you want to do the seafood option, and she explained to just let her know a few minutes before I was ready for them because they make them all per order.
You can choose either corn or flour tortillas. Some reviews said the flour was really thick, and while they were thicker, it wasn't like a bao bun or anything. I probably should have done more of those because they held together better with the liquid from the proteins.
When you're ready for your next batch, you just go up to the beginning and they'll make you 3 more at a time (you can choose less if you want though).
They were extremely generous with the protein fillings, except for the shrimp. I assume that's because the shrimp is already portioned per taco, rather than the chicken and stuff that's in the containers ready to go.
The staff is a solid, shining 10 out of 10. Somehow everyone was able to track which customer was which (I guess that's why I didn't need any physical receipt or anything), and had some kind of crazy hive-mind going where if you told something to one person (for example, the heads up on a shrimp taco order), they all knew (so 5 minutes later, a different person would look at you and go grab your shrimp). They were all so, so nice and so efficient. It was a very well-oiled machine.
When I saw 5-6 teenage boys walk in, I laughed to myself that service was about to slow down because they would be eating so much, but that just... didn't happen. The employees are seriously on it.
As far as the ambiance, it's really just a basic seating area. It's made to be functional and nothing more, nothing less. There's a soda dispenser, napkins, plastic utensils, and a place to empty your tray before you leave.
I think the most annoying for me was not being able to find pricing and which proteins were included in the price, so I made sure to get pictures of that stuff.
Like I said, the food was fine! Not the best, not the worst; would have been better if my tortillas weren't so wet they kept breaking apart too fast. But the employees really made all the difference.
