I was dubious, too. *Another* taco joint? And, one that's not a truck? Located *where*? My radar was up. *But* I'd heard good things, I had an open afternoon and it was Friday in late Spring. I was willing to roll the dice.
The joint is small-ish. It's bigger than it might look from the outside but it's still small. I parked on the street without issue (itself a victory) and walked inside. There's a small space to wait in and order and some space behind there to eat (in good weather). But if you're there at a peak time, you might feel uncomfortable. I was there by myself (without a crowd) and that's how I like it these days. Since there wasn't a line, I asked the fella behind the glass what they'd recommend. They gave me their suggestions, I acquiesced and we were on our way. I got my grub to go so I wouldn't have the awkward silence of sitting in an empty restaurant and eating while being watched by the people who made my food.
Within an appropriate amount of time my food was ready and I hit the road back to my house. [Point of order: this review is 2.5 years old so the prices/info are out of date. For $2.50 a pop, I received four street taco-sized tacos. Knowing where I was at, I was pleased with that price. For more money, my mind might have changed. Additionally, at the time I ordered, there was an option to go bigger and get $4 tacos. I don't know if that option still exists. If money is an issue when it comes to street food (and having one, I think, is legitimate), know this.] I was EXTREMELY happy with how much flavor was packed into every bite of each taco. I enjoyed an asada, pollo, chorizo y pescado taco and each was seasoned, flavorful, distinct, and filling. Tacos are all over town these days and, by now, everyone has their go-to spot. In case you're open for putting a new player in the rotation, you could do much worse than Pie Town Tacos... just realize that enjoyment per price differentials may vary.
