From sitting down to getting our food was less than five minutes. The food was extremely fair priced. However, I cannot call it authentic. The flour tortillas were clearly purchased at the Walmart supercenter. The El Cabrón burrito I ordered was chopped up chicken breast inside a cold flour tortilla, smothered in queso. The beans were very watery and the rice was very good. Once I mix the beans and rice together, the beans seem to have a little flavor. Did I mention the burrito only had chicken inside nothing else? We also get the mango tacos, which was a mini version of the El Cabron burrito with some mango juice poured over the meat. It was fast. It was an expensive and it was filling. It did not remind me of Mexico. When we ordered the mango tacos, I expected some kind of mango chutney on the chicken, unfortunately, it was like someone opened a can of ocean spray and pour it on the meat. We will return, but it was boring.

Let me say if you don't like spice DO NOT eat the salsa. Plus the salsa is not complimentary like most Mexican places. My food was not very well seasoned but spicy basically lacking flavor, only could feel the "heat". Hubby said his was good. The music was techno which was odd but honestly better than loud mariachi music, honestly. The staff was on their phones a lot! Which is probably why I didn't get a refill for my beverage and it took 15 minutes to get him to come and take the payment for our meal. So basically this was a meh experience at best.

But the staff! They were so gracious and easy going. They never made us feel like a bother. I was so grateful.

Let's start by saying I was really excited to try this place and waited too long maybe to try it…read moreand it peaked and now is a complete disappointment. Walking in, space is very beautiful and well thought out. I would have only subleased one of the spaces and made it smaller to make sure I have a line out the door. Place was very empty with not many diners and as I sat down and looked at the menu, I see why they are dead. First off, If you are going to rip off Session Taco's business model, follow their pricing and not charge double what they charge, especially when your tacos aren't as good and lack flavor or seasoning. Not the customer's fault you overpaid on rent. That's why you will be closed in the foreseeable future. Hence why they should have made the space half the size. Second, menu is impossible to read and the smallest print in the worst color too. We ordered up some apps, empanadas and the queso fundido. 3 tiny empanadas with less than 1/4 of a teaspoon of filling came out with your typical spicy mayo dip that wasn't memorable. Was more dough than anything on these. Not worth ordering again. Reminding me of bad, overpriced catering food you get at a wedding you are wanting to run from to go eat better food . The "signature" queso fundido was disappointing too. The cheese was almost impossible to scoop and had the consistency of Elmer's glue starting to harden with no flavor. Same with the pico and chorizo on top- no flavor. This was served with stale chips and some flour tortillas on the side. The entrees, I had the pork belly tacos, picture shown. 2 tacos- $19! A lobster taco at session taco is $7 for one taco. If that tells you anything about why I am so disappointed with this experience. Tacos were eh, nothing special and again, lack any real flavor or seasoning. Kosher salt is your friend, Chef.... One friend had a burrito that looked like something you get at a cafeteria and they couldn't even wipe the rim of the plate of the cheese sauce they dropped all over it. So, if you are running an upscale place, wiping the rim takes only a minute and also shows you care about your product and your plate you produced. Not here obviously. Other friend got the flight of tacos that was 4 tacos for $25. Said the best one was the steak, again not sure what they called it and the online menu of course doesn't match the menu they are handing out to diners. Said the other 3 weren't great- said the carnitas were so salty that it was almost inedible. So my tab was $41 and some change for 2 tacos and some bad cheese dip and stale chips. After tip- $50. I really expected more from an upscale place for dinner warranting that price and also for how small the portions are for the price. Good luck to them, won't be returning...
