Ordered from the place a few times and are in once. The food is good. It's about $10 for two tacos.
The place is small and only has room for 4-6 people at tables inside. The television is usually on showing programing in Spanish. Staff is nice.
When I could eat gluten, my favorite item on the menu was the tortilla soup. It is a tomato broth with melted cheese and avocados. The cooked and uncooked ingredients mix well together. If you order it to go, the container is much smaller than the portion when eating in. When I get the soup, I prefer to eat in for the full experience.
The fish tacos are a big hit there. Recommended.
We ordered 2 al pastor burritos for delivery on a Sunday afternoon. We live only 5 minutes away, but it took 1.5 hours for our salty, mediocre burritos to arrive at room temperature. This place was a huge disappointment, especially in light of of the positive reviews from others.
Girl at the front smiled today and was helpful- big change from before, so kudos to you. The place is hot inside, so I would recommend taking the food togo on hot summer days. Not only that but, there's only street parking available, and that doesn't come easy on this small uphill area. Otherwise, there's 3 tables- 2 small 2 seaters, and 1 larger 4 seater. Not bad. The tacos are BOMBBBBB!!! Had the grilled chicken for the first time today- awesomeeee. Tender meat with good salad side to add onto your taco,and the fish taco is just as good as ever- juicy with awesome chipotle sauce. Yummmmm. Word of advice- if you can't handle spice, don't go for the hottest sauce. You can ask for extra and we ended up buying 4 extra sauces for no reason- turned out the one container each per dish was enough.
3.5 stars! Let's spell it out….
Al Pastor Tacos ( spicy pork, cubed ) – The meat was quite tender and very well seasoned. I would guess the seasoned sauce is a blend of different chiles with onion and garlic. Not just an adobo seasoning you would purchase from a Spanish supermarket. The pork had a bit of an orange hue and the spice level was highly pleasing! These tacos were served on soft tortillas and included chopped cilantro as a garnish. You can add shredded iceberg lettuce, chopped tomatoes, onions and squeeze lime juice. Once you do, there is Mexican fiesta happening in your mouth! ÓRALE!
Mini Gripe – Missed chopped jalapeño and crumbled queso fresco.
Enchiladas de Mole (shredded chicken thighs) –
Once upon a time ago, I was very fortunate enough to learn there are several types of moles. I hate myself for not asking the young lady but I believe what I ate was a Mole Poblano style- It was very dark in color, with hint of chocolate flavor but not as spicy as I remembered it. Anyway, it was enjoyable. No yellow cheese ( thank god ) instead it appeared to be a shredded Mexican Mozzarella with zig zag line of sour cream top with white onion rings. This entree was paired with refried beans and rice. HIJOLE, it was very good!
Homemade Guacamole and Homemade Tortilla Chips – Simple and fresh. I did see finely chopped tomatoes, onions, cilantro and jalapeños ( I requested jalapeños, otherwise, it would have been left out )
Mini gripe- not as spicy as requested. Ni modo!
Chorizo Tacos ( crumbled chorizo ) – Least favorite. Less flavorsome when comparing it to Al Pastor Tacos. It's really seasoned with Paprika, Cayenne and Salt / Pepper.
These tacos are were also served on soft tortillas and shared the same garnishes and add-ons as Al Pastor Tacos.
Mini Gripe – Missed chopped jalapeño and crumbled queso fresco.
Because the smaller things in life make me smile, I must say this place offers Mexican Coke Bottles ( not american coke )! This is Smooth and Rich! Me encanta every time!
I won't forget to mention. Upon ordering over the phone, service was prompt and friendly.
Lastly, this place is a very casual eatery serving Mexican classics such as burritos, tacos, tostadas & handmade tortillas. Great for a quick lunch or dinner.
Cool little hole in the wall Mexican place. I was skeptical at first when I read the name, but I enjoyed this spot much more than my last hole in the wall Mexican joint. It doesn't have much seating, looks much more like a takeout place. I had the pastor tacos and beef burrito.
The pastor tacos were very good. The pork was well seasoned and cooked well. They were garnished with cilantro and lime, but they did lack onions. They were bigger than I had expected, I didn't really need the burrito.
The burrito was absolutely massive. It suffered from poor assembly, one end was left open and half the contents spilled out onto my plate. Might as well have ordered a burrito bowl.
My only gripe is it's a bit pricey for what it is and that it took a lot longer to prepare than I had expected.
I've ordered from this place three times. All three times they had good customer service, delivery man was punctual/polite, and the food was delicious. The portions are large and they make sure to separate the greens from the actual taco/burrito so the ingredients don't get soggy. Out of all the things I've ordered so far, I would recommend the Steak & Onion tacos. Good experience.
At first glance, the eye may wander past this tiny joint. But dont let the size of it loose your interest.
The Great Burrito is right to the point, has a very modest but filling menu. Tacos, burritos, soups, salsas and a few other traditional Mexican Tastes.
I suggest getting the fish tacos for $10. Once the waitress brings over the dish, you'll probably think these two overfilled tacos wont be enough. But be surprised, they will hit the spot. Theyre perfectly deep fried ( who the hell doesnt love deep fried ), with a soft and juicy inside. The chipotle cream sauce is like crack to me, really good and the high doesnt last long–i was tempted to ask for another helping of it.
Other things that may tickle your fancy–the guac, pastor anything (taco, burrito,etc.). Apparently the el pastor is the shining star here–many people have claimed to love it. P.S. the burritos are fucking huge, how can one consume it in one sitting?!
Theres about 8 seats so if i were you, id be a lazy glutton and stay home and get some delivery.
i must try that flan..flan is so good…its the only dessert here but it will be attacked by me next time.
Small place with pretty great food. The seating area itself isn't all that special but feels right for the kind of food they serve.
Food tastes like someone actually made it and not simply put it into a microwave before sending out (which tends to be the case for a lot of places like this).
Had the beef and chicken tacos with guacamole and chips. No complaints on anything ordered.
Guacamole was pretty good and so where the chips (yes better than chipotle by a mile). Chicken and beef tacos both really good and I practically breathed them in even though I wasn't hungry.
All in all I would invite a friend for a quick bite in this place, not so much a lunch or dinner environment.
Didn't give it 5/5 simply because it didn't blow my mind. I ordered a chicken taco, expected chicken taco and got chicken taco. No surprises, no frills. Yes, I guarantee I'll be back for more.
