If you're in the Brookland neighborhood and want some quick grab and go tacos, then this spot is worth trying. Feels more authentic than what you'll get at some of the other nearby fast food restaurants, which I really did appreciate. Service is fast and friendly. You'll get tortilla chips and salsa to start. The empanadas were flavorful enough on the inside, the outside will require you to dip it in the salsas provided. It's a bit bland on the exterior of the empanadas. The tacos were the highlight of the meal. They were very good overall (I really liked the tinga de pollo) . The mahi mahi was ok. I think the thing they really need to work on is their pairings and seasoning. Hopefully it will improve. They just need to invest in this area of their business a bit more by surveying the community or these reviews to determine what this neighborhood and their potential customers will respond well to.
I am a huge taco fan, however I was not a fan of this place. I ordered the empanada. The filling needed more seasoning and the outside was bland too. The shrimp quesadilla wasn't fully cooked. They took it back and remade it. The mahi mahi taco was pretty flavorful. The staff was very welcoming and attentive....the food just wasn't the best. They are still relatively new... hopefully things get better for them.
Food is good, place is small yet cozy, but biggest issue is value. For the price, not really worth the visit. There are better deals around. If you don't mind the cost, you will have a good meal.
Really food, tasty. A nice variety of tacos 🌮
Hooray for neighborhood tacos! Loved the food. I'll be back.
