Small spot. 6 tables.
The exterior of the building is old. I used to pass by this building during college, as one of my study group mates lived off of Dequindre.
We ordered 2 jarritos, a mango and a pina, 4 tacos with pollo a la parilla and two tinga tacos, a guacamole and chips app and a corn in a cup.
No red tacos today, they ran out. They don't have any mandarin jarrito either.
Chips and salsa comes free with your meal. The corn chips are not my favorite, hard, bagged for sure and dense too. Some better quality corn chips would make the salsas and guacamole even better.
The hot salsas are both good. Even the verde salsa has some kick to it too.
The food takes a little while. Even our guacamole hasn't come out since we finished the first basket of chips. We didn't get anymore chips either.
Our food all came out together, including the guacamole.
The guacamole is decent, has some flavor to it.
The corn in a styrofoam cup is so-so, drenched in liquid, butter isn't well mixed and was all over the spoon. The dry chili was okay, maybe a bit overwhelming, made me cough taking the first few bites. The corn kernels are canned.
The tinga tacos were packed full and tasty.
The pollo a la parilla tacos were good, the chicken meat are quite small pieces, not in chunks.
I liked the small diced onions and cilantro in our tacos.
Service is good. Come for the tacos, skip the corn in the cup and the guacamole, since you are stuck with the bad chips.
It's a busy spot and there's a steady flow of folks coming and going too.
