Cold Tacos, Oily Taste
My experience at the restaurant was disappointing. The tacos I ordered were cold. Specifically, the tacos al pastor were not freshly cut; they appeared to have been taken from a bottom tray.
Furthermore, the tacos tasted strongly of oil.

Asada was too salty, Pastor was okay
My experience at the restaurant was mixed. The asada was incredibly salty, to the point where it was inedible. The pastor was just okay.
Overall, the asada was really bad.

Disappointing Food, Great Service and Ambiance
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The place was very nice and clean, and the workers were equally pleasant. However, the food was a significant letdown.
The rice was clumpy and dry, and both the pastor and asada were dry, not fresh, and seemed reheated. I couldn't even taste the pineapple in the pastor because it was so dry and overcooked. While they offered a coupon for two free tacos, I'm sure I won't be using it.
I really wanted to like this place, but unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations.

They don't give you a hard time when you ask for extra salsa, unlike other places. Everything is very clean. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
