Came in here after reading the great reviews and a tummy full of hunger.
1. Ordered chorizo tacos (a la plancha) - unlike most other similar places which allow you to mix and match different types in one order, they did not. It baffles me why it's not possible, but okay. You do you
2. I told the (probable) owner I was going to dine in since initially I'd ordered at the counter and not taken a table right away. After I took a seat, a while, one of the servers got my order, packed. No problem, not a big deal. When I said I wanted to eat here, and if she could get me a plate, she apologized. And refused. (I was the only one at the restaurant at this point. Why couldn't I get an empty plate?) She did get me a glass of water later (which had some things floating in it, and I didn't touch it)
3. Almost $12 for 3 tacos, so I was expecting something good. The accompanying cacti was tasty, and both the salsas they gave packed some serious punch. The chorizo felt less in quantity, and lacking in flavor.
So I ate out of the box, because I was sooooo hungry. It's okay, I'll live. I didn't lose my calm but this was a seriously depressing experience. Also, had to go up to the counter to pay, because serving the one person dining there was not something they seemed too interested in.
Unusual for me, I tipped absolutely nothing, since I didn't get any service.
South Philly has multiple authentic taco places, so needless to say, I'm not going to be coming back here, ever.
