Unfortunately, I didn’t take a picture of the tacos, but visually they looked good. I like to support Latin places and usually share feedback after trying the food. However, I didn’t appreciate that the cashier (who I believe was the manager) didn’t seem to take my feedback well.
Starting with the Barbacoa quesadilla: I was disappointed to see it came with only one tortilla. The cheese didn’t melt the way you’d expect—it felt more like quesillo that stays firm and doesn’t fully melt. It was also quite salty, and the barbacoa (lamb) itself was salty too, so overall the quesadilla tasted too salty for me. I didn’t add salsa so I could taste it on its own, and I’d rate it a 6/10.
The carnitas (pork) quesadilla was better. The meat had a good texture and wasn’t too salty, which balanced out the salty cheese. However, it also came with just one tortilla. Overall, I’d give it a 7/10.
The carne asada (beef) quesadilla, unfortunately, was a total disappointment. It also came with only one tortilla. Traditionally, carne asada is made with small pieces of grilled beef, but this one had larger chunks that were a bit tough to bite into and were marinated in a spicy adobo sauce. To me, that’s not what you expect from a classic carne asada quesadilla. I also asked for guacamole, but they told me to just grab salsa from the salsa station—they don’t add guac like other taquerías do. When I shared this feedback with the manager, he said it was the first time he’d ever heard this complaint. I explained that I wasn’t really complaining, just offering feedback. I’d rate this quesadilla a 1.5/10.
On a positive note, the hibiscus (Jamaica) water was quite good—not too sweet, very refreshing—and I’d give it a solid 8/10.
Overall, their prices are higher than other taquerías in the area, but sadly the quality doesn’t really compare.
