i got the pork marinated in pineapple burrito, and it was okay. with spanish rice and habanero sauce, it livened it up a little. the decor inside is really nice, and the little cactus on each table added character. if you want chips and salsa, you have to order it as a side instead of it coming with your meal, like most spanish food places do. the staff is friendly and food is prepared quickly.
They're very nice re: customer service, the decor is beautiful, the location inside Bell Works is awesome! Easy self-ordering and the pickup is great. The people really are nice. Their specialty tacos look interesting, definitely cool and experimental looking stuff.
That said, the street tacos (aka the authentic, actual Mexican-style tacos) are not good. They don't heat their tortillas, which is an awful and bizarre choice (unheated corn tortillas are so chewy and stiff and sad). The carne asada was in these big chunks instead of being smaller like in a normal taco, and it wasn't very well spiced (I made up with it with their chunky habanera salsa). There was so little cilantro I thought they'd forgotten it. And weirdly, I ordered three tacos and they were in like several plastic containers instead of just layered in like usual.
All in all, cool place but not authentic Mexican food, so skip the "street" tacos and stick to their more specialty stuff.
Awesome food!!! And good price????????????????
