Mikey V's is a local hot sauce shop that sells their brand of hot sauce as well as a selection of other hot sauces and similar products. I'm no hot sauce connoseur so I don't know how well curated it is. I chose one of their mild sauces and struck gold. The peach habanero delight is awesome. A really good put-it-on-everything sauce that just has a little kick. It barely made it two weeks in this house -- I've been putting it on fish, meat, chicken, eggs. Service at the check-out counter was really friendly. Also had to try the tacos in the back. We ordered the barbacoa, the surf and turf, and the spicy pig. The tacos were generously packed with meat but I did find the meat a little bit bland for my taste (good thing it comes with salsa). Now, here's where it gets interesting. We ordered the spicy pig because my husband wanted to try it. They told me it was like a 7 (which is a bit scary). Let me tell you -- it's a 4 at most. I don't know if it's all the elderly gringos traipsing around the Square that are skewing the scale. For reference, I usually get mild at restaurants. I enjoy a weaker medium but generally play it safe with mild. I'm not a spice hound and ultimately consider myself a bit of a wimp with spicy food. And believe it or not, I loved the spicy pig. It was a really nice level of spice and it didn't leave that searing aftertaste in your mouth. So if you can handle some spice, go for it. It was a bit comical because they were acting like it was an atomic bomb -- they made sure to put it in a separate container (which I do appreciate, in case it actually was wildly spicy). I really am grateful for the careful warnings -- I just wanted to point out that they seem to ultimately be for people like my parents (who can barely handle a fleck of red pepper).

Never had it before but it did not disappoint. The cut is fatty since it's the head but the meat was tender and delicious. Paired with the homemade tortillas and salsa it was a 10 outta 10. The staff was so kinda and I was able to tour where they cook all the meat. The time and effort that is put into making the food is a true work of art. The TENDERISM was so real . I will be back again to try the other cuts since it was so good . I believe they do tend to sell out so the earlier the better .

    I went to this place because it had great reviews. When we arrived on a Saturday afternoon, it was…read morepacked, so I thought, "Okay, this place must be good." I ordered the taco sampler, consommé, and two lattes. The staff were friendly, and the wait was surprisingly short, we received our food within about 10 minutes. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of not checking the order before leaving. They forgot the consommé, and both lattes were extremely sweet and honestly didn't taste like they had any coffee or caffeine in them. My wife and I ended up throwing them away. To be fair, maybe we messed up by ordering coffee from a taco spot. The tacos themselves were just okay. They come pretty plain, so you have to add the cilantro, onions, etc. yourself. The meat was tender, but unfortunately, I found a bug in one of my tacos. That completely killed my appetite, and we ended up throwing the rest of the food away. Overall, it felt like a waste of $55. The staff were friendly and the service was quick, but between the missing consommé, disappointing lattes, and especially finding a bug in my food, the experience was ruined for us.
