"This taco shop serves up delicious Mexican cuisine with a California flare. Try the noteworthy California Daddy burrito, featuring your choice of meat or veggie filling, or the equally tasty Surf and Turf tostada with blackened shrimp. Enjoy a side of crispy tater tot nachos (totchos), while sipping a Dirty-Chata (Horchata and coffee), or an agua fresca, on Taco Daddy’s outdoor patio. While this dining venue is small, the dishes are big on flavor. In the coming months, look for a new, larger, Taco Daddy’s, to open in January 2023, just around the corner from its current location." - Linda Childers

Funky concept, love the decor, nice ambience and very accommodating staff. They customized a mango margarita for me that was delicious and the queso fundido was really good!

Thank you taco daddy for hosting our large event upstairs! Each time I called leading up each staff was super accommodating and helpful. Matthew and the other staff working 4/19 were extremely attentive, funny and flexible. And, as always, the drinks and food are delicious and affordable for the area. Thank you soo much Taco Daddy!

Good food in a fun and lively atmosphere. Drinks were good too. Had the smoked daddy and spicy daddy and both were delicious. Burritos are HUGE so bring a friend or a bag to take it home.

The customer service was great! The food was good, not excellent, but still good. The carne asada bowl had lots of fat, but their carnitas were delicious! The samen taco was mediocre. I'm looking forward to trying other items from the menu. I've had the Carnitas bowl was excellent.

This was our first visit to Taco Daddy’s and so glad we came. I was happy to find that they had several vegetarian items that they could make vegan. I had the Taco Salad with the vegetable medley and it was delicious! My fiancé had the Crispy Spicy Potato Fritos which he thoroughly enjoyed. Not only was the food delicious, but the presentation was beautiful. They have a full bar too if you like to enjoy adult beverages🍹

WOW what a difference from the previous location! Outdoor seating is still available, relatively the same although inside the restaurant is a world of change! First off the service was attentive and punctual, which is a rarity these days! The menu is easy to navigate and lots to choose from. Music overhead was awesome and the overall ambience is second to none for a Latino themed restaurant, very modern, amazing furniture and very comfortable seating in the front room. I would recommend to anyone wanting a modern twist to authentic Mexican cuisine flavored with quality ingredients. Worth every penny and going back soon (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)

On today, I tried this dessert, and floated out of my body. I did the seated chair dance. I went to heaven, chatted with the flavor goddesses, and came back. My life is forever changed.

Absolutely incredible food here in martinez . I have been waiting for a place like this for over ten years . The food and ambience is beyond what I expected. I'm just worried that people will find out about this place and I'll have a hard finding a spot to eat. Overall , the tacos and margaritas were so good . The service was above average and Taco daddy is doing Things right . Cheers Yelp , Francis

Okay so Im only leaving 3 stars cause I cant do half of one experience vs another. Otherwise itd be 2.5 stars. In previous experiences when its not an event and just entering the restaurant 5 stars! The food is delicious, service is great! PERO....the Events Mi madre they are so DISORGANIZED! We had a party of 6 (5 adults and 1 child) and arrived on time for our 11:30AM reservation. Its 1:35PM and Im just writing this as we are leaving the Cinco de Mayo event without ever having a chance to eat. For 2 whole hours we kept hearing "its gonna open soon" and we just sat there waiting. This isnt a reflection on our server who was so kind and patient with us to accomodate by giving us chips and salsa and drinks to hold us over. I felt bad for her cause I know servers get the brunt of the complaints for poor management and the event organizer's mistakes. Skip the events cause aside from our server and a really awesome DJ its just not worth it. Come on a happy hour time and enjoy yourself good food but the events are poorly organized and to no fault of the servers. This owner should apologize to the customers and their service staff for how baldy this came out. She graciously apologized and we left to grab a bite elsewhere.

been here a few times. New location just made it worse dunno y. Maybe cuz. Their bathrooms at the front had a line that prevented them from noticing anyone entering to be seated. Not a big problem. I got the tostada with hummus and the mushroom taco. I know both actually even sound gross but I have had some bommmmmb food with weird ingredients and again this wasn't my first time. Both. Disgusting. Like I couldn't even take two bites of the taco. The seasoning was so horrid and the mushrooms were like biting into beef jerky. That's the worst mushroom to use for a taco. Most true vegetarians don't like things that resemble meat.. that's why they don't eat it. So I assume they r catering to the meat eaters trying to become vegetarians. Just don't. Please. A simple crimini sauted to Carmel brown with light flavor is really all that's needed. Whatever that seasoning was was dumped on there and I wanted to get my money back but didn't wanna ask.... I'll just sadly never go back. The tostada.. the cactus I think made it gooey, slimey? Extremely disturbing to the eye. There was NO hummus on the tostada.. and every vegetable was pickled. Like a flat Chip with a shit load of vinegar. Even the chips and dips were gross. The chips itself were actually bomb I will give them that. Great awesome crunch thickness salt ... was really good The dips tho... ugh did u buy them in bulk from bargain market? Place is expanded larger dark kinda dia de los muertos vibe, skulls all over looks like a tattoo parlor kinda good place to go for a drink I guess. Martinez trying to turn into a bar crawl area I dunno booze everywhere. Cute ish place but lordddd no... please change your mushroom taco!

The tacos here are divine~ I ordered 3 different types and they were all so fresh and scrumptious. The decor is beautiful and I love that they have options of board games available. Vibe, ambiance, friendly service, delicious food, great music with immaculate company~

Absolutely delicious!!!!!! Service is so incredibly inviting and very friendly. All of the staff is absolutely Awsome!! Cuddo's to them all. However Bella one of the hostesses, is so friendly and fast on her feet, literally all of her suggestions were top tier. "Bella you are as AWESOME" as you are beautiful! Also Laura (Ms. Chicken Nugget) LOL!!! You are so sweet and personal, management may not know it yet, but your presence really is a factor & boosts morale, you give that favorite auntie VIBE! Overall this place is a hidden gem. Prices are fare, proportions are very generous. Food is phenomenal and the place is extra clean. Definitely one of my favorites. "PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE TACO DADDY"!!!!!.keep up the good work.

Had some tacos on Tuesday. They were very good, and a modern twist added to them. The shrimp taco was my favorite and the street corn was really good-only regret was not ordering a second one The mushroom taco was really good also. The texture was pleasant and the flavors were good. All in all a good experience. A spot I will definitely visit again some time soon.

Service was good... ambiance was a great step up for downtown Martinez which shows it's age. The food was FANTASTIC and drinks were DELICIOUS! The Jumbo Prawns dinner entree was beautifully displayed and very tasty. I ordered a side of Street Corn and a cocktail called 'Daddy Issues' that had cotten candy sugar rim. I will definitely be back!

Came after my sons basketball game on a Saturday evening and it was a full house. We waited about 15 mins. Restaurant is cute and has a good amount of seating indoor and ourdoor. Our server was a nice gentleman and since its our first time he gave us tips on "must order". Our food came pretty fast considering it was busy. Food did not dissappoint. Everything came out so good. We were torn on getting tacos (hence the name) but the burritos seems to be like a crowd pleaser,so we got the burritos for my son to go and he loved it. Tacos was yummy the and has a good kick or spice,the rolled chicken taquitos was also good. For starters we had street tots because we heard it was good and omg loved it. We will def be adding this to our fave restaurant.

What a gem! Delicious ingredient tacos each with their own personality and flavor profile. If you're thinking about going, do it. we happen upon taco daddies quite by accident as we were walking downtown Martinez after taking care of some business at the courthouse. Now that we've tried the food we would drive to this place as a destination. The tongue in cheek name extends to the decor of the small and colorful slightly edgy spot. works for a date, a place to meet friends, and the outside tables for a family and the dog. There were two cute dogs hanging out the day we went. Service is super friendly and our server Christian knew the ingredients and the flavors in every dish we asked about. The tacos were so good that we ended up ordering more to go...

The Camarones Al Mojo are so craveable. Tiger Prawns with tequila and garlic, lime rice, corn, cilantro... delicious. Strawberry mint margarita for the win. Very cool little place. Love the bright colors and sugar skull walls. Service was fast and friendly even though we happened to stumble into town while there was a car show on main and we had no idea it would be so busy. Will definitely be back.

Yelp
Can't say enough good things. Came here for happy hour and was pleasantly surprised by the half off tacos and the amazing drinks! After enjoying 6 of the 9 tacos available, everyone better than the last, we attempted to try the churros. The worst part of my experience is being to full to finish dessert. Service was also amazing accompanied by great music. I'll definitely be back.

Fun spot in Martinez for a hip take on Mexican food. They've got a really fun atmosphere inside, with colors, music and the staff all representing Taco Daddy. The outdoor patio is nice when the weather is good, seating is limited so be prepared for a little wait if you want to eat outside. The staff is helpful, but when they are busy it can be a little slow. Nothing wrong with that, just be aware. The food is killer. I always enjoy the tacos, tostadas and salsas. The drink selection is strong, wine, beer and plenty of spirits to raise the mood!

I don't venture off to Martinez much for the food scene but I went to visit family and this seemed like a pretty good place to come for a casual mid-day lunch. I think I underestimated everything about this place before coming in for a visit. The inside is trendy and colorful. Really bright decor and lights, reminds me of a lounge kind of vibe. There is also a bar if you're just interested in drinks (cocktails looked good, maybe next time!). It's also family friendly so a great place to bring kids it seems! We came around happy hour so tacos were half off. I tried one salmon taco (El Mar), one carne asado (el ranchero), the street corn, and the horchata. The tacos are very filling- lots of protein and other toppings so 2 was enough for me. The street corn was grilled and the toppings were A1, I'll def come back for it but $5 was a bit steep for me for half a cob. To be fair, it's still restaurant prices not street vendor prices lol. My cousin and I really like the horchata! My cousin commented on how milky it was because some places can really water down horchata. You can tell the difference. I was really impressed by the food. Service was OK. Our waitress was really sweet but seems like some confusion with to-go orders afterwards which wasn't a big deal honestly. It gets really busy here and can take a while for orders to come out.

Only a first time visitor here but wow! Lunch with my daughters and son in law. I don't get to Martinez often but they always take me somewhere new. The ambiance of this place is very inviting and very colorful! Love the decor. Smallish bar but for a Friday lunchtime it was pretty packed. My 8 year old daughter is THE pickiest eater but she has started eating tacos. They do have kids tacos for $3. She started off with two, one steak one chicken. I ordered the California daddy with the, can't recall the actual name but something like pig something filing, it has chorizo and damn that thing was delicious! Average sized burrito but fat and filled with yummyness! My daughter finished her 2 tacos and ordered another steak one, that in and of itself is enough to go back I was so happy we found somewhere we know she will eat. Our server was a doll, friendly and professional and took care of the young one as well. A great dining experience here overall. Thank you!

I walked in today during lunch hour and asked for something quick and good, this is what the owner gave me and it was delicious The salsa was bomb not too hot or mild for me. The quesadilla was stuffed and filing. It was a lot and I shared with my coworkers. The inside was decorated so well for the holidays very festival. On Fridays they usually have a DJ and drinks flowing. If you want good food and amazing customer service I recommend this place and ask for Ryan to give you food recommendations when you're unsure. Thanks again for telling me I needed this quesadilla, cuz I did!!

The staff is always great and this time they had a short rib taco special which was drenched in this mole sauce I didn't enjoy. Their salmon taco was pretty good though. The bowl was too mushy. It had a lot of different ingredients but you couldn't really taste any of it. It all just blended together. Not a dish I would order again. My friend got their steak plate which was generous and cooked perfectly. TBH, it wasn't as good as our first time.

I stopped by for a casual business lunch with a couple of former colleagues. Had never been to Downtown Martinez. Interesting area tucked away behind the refineries. We split a guacamole and chips which were very good. I tried three different tacos, the shrimp, blackened salmon and "pig parts". Shrimp was fine; flavor was good but the shrimp were rubbery. The salmon was better although there was not a lot of blackened flavor. Finally the pig taco was very good. The habanero was not super spicy but the pig parts were very flavorful. Super rich so two of these might be the limit. $5 per taco seemed reasonable and the service was fine. Four stars overall and a nice surprise in Downtown Martinez.

Great food, very friendly bartender/great drinks, and fast service. I really enjoyed this restaurant and would definitely come back to try other things on the menu.

Not one complaint in food, service, or ambience Recently turned vegetarian and the Super Bowl did not disappoint. Full of flavor, fresh veggies al dente, great crunch with chips on top. About a quart and a half of food so definitely two meals. Certainly did not miss the meat. Horchata was creamy and delish. Chips are house made and perfectly fried.

Visited on a weekday, we were greeted with a friendly smile upon arrival, we were happily surprised about the warm colors , lounge chairs in the front and upstairs. We told ourselves we MUST come back just to hang out and drink. My street style tacos were excellent, fresh and filling. I had one Asada and one Salmon and just so very good!

Yelp
Since they moved locations, the vibe is very hip, I like their furniture and even though it looks small, they can make a lot of room for small or large parties. The power bowl is my ultimate favorite food. It's definitely a twist on Mexican food and is more like a Latin twist. Everything I've had is amazing, drinks are great, music is on point. I see they do nightlife and you have to be over 21 years old to be there past 10pm. I'm not sure what exactly they have after hours, but I'm interested to explore!

U absolutely have to stop here. Unreal sauces and food kills it The bar area is really cool. If in town stop by

Okay food. Not traditional Mexican but good trendy food. Has live music have been here a couple times. Consistent and you know what you're going to get. Can get packed as it's a small venue.

This place gets packed but it is well worth the wait. I wasn't sure about this place at first because of the name lol BUT the food was AMAZING and the drinks were also on point. Service was good as well and staff was friendly. Be aware they will begin to remove tables and chairs to make room for their late night DJ and dancing, this was on a Friday night. We couldn't stay but the vibe seemed worth checking out.

First time, the Taco Salad was a really good bowl and a pretty large serving. Enjoyed the flavors and taste, everything seemed fresh. Waitress was very attentive to our party of 5; Friday late afternoon and the place really filled up for dinner. Gonna try outdoor seating next time.

Good food, good drinks, great customer service. If you arrive on a Saturday try to go before 1pm because they get a mad rush. I heard the tacos are bomb but I usually get the burrito with fire salsa!

You can't go wrong here. Hospitality is great from servers to cashier and bartenders. Food is amazing. Kelly recommended the el gallo- sub carnitas it was on my love list but my favorite was the surf and turf tostada. Drinks are bomb dot com. I have always left the restaurant as a happy clam. Enjoy!

Had a horrible experience with Matthew, the floor manager at the time. I asked to get the Daddy Issues drink and provided my ID and was denied my drink. He said my ID was fake even though it is a Real ID. I went ahead and asked him to go check with whoever was manager or someone else because I was not lying. He came back and still accused me of having a fake ID and continued to say it was fake. I asked him who he had checked with and he just pulled out another ID to compare and told me he essentially did not ask anyone else. My partner asked him to raise it to the light because California ID's have the bear when risen to light and he did not do so. I then asked for the manager and he said he was the floor manager and walked away. Needless to say, I was very upset given my ID is a real ID. Going to eat somewhere and being accused of something that is not true and being denied service based on a false assumption is absolutely unacceptable and an uncomfortable experience. I do not recommend their restaurant one bit if this is how they treat their customers.

Pam P.

Yelp
We were blown away by the flavors on everything we ordered! Finally found excellent Mexican food. Street food elevated! Guacamole was fresh and well seasoned! Chips were salty. The bowl with pork carnitas and el Baja tacos knocked my socks off! My vegetarian hubby devoured spicy potatoes rolled tacos and El Campo in which he loved! We saved room for desserts: churros are fresh and handmade and natilla cafe complemented one another. Our server was friendly and attentive. Best upscale Mexican menu we've ever seen and enjoyed! Our compliments to the creative chef! The only thing we disliked was the blasting loud music. We couldn't hear each other and with delicious food like this, we would've loved to have a conversation. To return or not return, that is the question!

I loved this place. The tacos were delicious and the atmosphere was fun and inviting, I found them on Yelp because I'm not that familiar with Martinez. I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing the tacos are here. I really enjoyed my experience here and I will go back again in the future.

I've been here many times Taco Daddy This is my favorite taco spot in Martinez! There tacos are consistently delicious.

Yelp
Yes daddy! My dining experience at Taco Daddy's was a delightful and, dare I say, sensual experience for my taste buds. I ordered the table guacamole, el Ranchero, and soy Puerco. The guacamole was amazing, and had a very silky texture. The addition of the pepitas and escobeche was great, and the tortilla chips were thick and crispy. My only complaint here is that the chip to guacamole ratio is off, there were not enough chips for the amount of guacamole in the bowl. I preferred the el Ranchero taco to the soy Puerco, the juices were dripping out of the tortilla and the flavors were like an explosion in my mouth. The pork in the soy Puerco was a bit dry, but it was a good taco nonetheless. They have a good selection of tacos, including vegetarian options that I will have to try next time. The ambience inside is on point, it's like a hip taco oasis... but the tables outside could use some work as it doesn't reflect all the awesomeness happening inside (I sat outside to enjoy the warm weather). The items on the menu are a bit pricey, but considering that the ambience is part of the package it's prob comparable to similar places. Their happy hour prices look good, and I'll probably return during happy hour for 1/2 price tacos.

Went here for the first time this week. Wowwww! Impressive. 5 strong stars. I got a bowl, it didn't have any meat in it. It was one of the options on the wall and it was really good. I was so impressed. Healthy and a good portion, the bowl was heavy! One of the best places to eat in Martinez. I'll be back for sure, very impressed.

Yelp
Finally got a chance to try their new location. Definitely way more seating and the ambiance and design of the space is a bit classier than before. The service remains one of their highlights. Always super friendly and responsive. I started with a passion fruit margarita which was excellent. We have tried a number of items from their menu over the years but our favorites include the Super Bowl with any of the proteins (pig mix is our top choice, but the carne and pollo asada are excellent too). All of the tacos are great as well (recommend the hefe or Baja) and the tater tots are worth trying as well. Thanks again for a great meal!

Taco Tuesdays at Taco Daddy's is amazing. As soon as I walked in, I was given a friendly greeting and a waiter brought my drinks very promptly. Plus, his recommendation on drinks and food were excellent. The food was incredibly delicious, and generous. They played a great mix of Latin music. The interior of the restaurant is modern, very hip and modern. I can't wait to eat there again.

My partner and I have been coming here for at least a year now, but we went for Valentine's Day on a whimsical and it was absolutely amazing. Set menu- first time they have done this and it did not disappoint Lots of options. We walked in with no reservations and they were able to get us a table in 10 minutes even though the restaurant was full with people. Our food was a bit of a wait but they graciously gave each of us a glass of champagne to apologize for the wait, which was SO worth it. Everything was bursting with flavor, from the mushroom ceviche to the wagyu steak. Service was 10/10, great ambience, and overall an amazing experience.

First off, I love the atmosphere, it's fun, hip and cheery. The place had a full lunch crowd so that was a good sign. I ordered a super bowl with carnitas and it looked great, but it was way to salty and I LIKE salt. I requested some lettuce so I could mix it up and offset the rich saltiness, and said I would certainly pay for it. The waitress returned and said they would not give or sell me lettuce, but that I could order vegetables. I told her it was too salty to eat. She didn't offer any resolution, but a to-go box, which I declined. All you had to do was sell me some lettuce and I could have got through my lunch I think that was poor customer service and the waitress didn't get the point that it was unedible for me, another customer service miss. I will not be returning.

Located in Martinez Downtown area, Taco Daddy's is a quaint little faux taqueria, and on weekends, live music playing right outside of its restaurant, though that's not terribly rare for other places on this stretch in the area. There's not a large menu, as most of their stuff will be fairly straight forward. The prices here are a bit on the higher side when accounting for this style of food, but about on par for all the other spots in the area. However, portion wise more than makes up for the slightly higher cost of this place. I think my favorite things here are indeed all of the tater tot related dishes. This includes the California Daddy, which is tater tots as opposed to fries, and the cheesy tot dish, which was also tasty. Let's start with California Daddy, which again, rather than your typical California Burrito, will be filled with tater tots instead. I got it with the carne asada, and that was quite tasty of a combination. The burrito itself is also pretty huge. One person could probably order this and be quite filled with the meal overall. Steak was tender, tots were perfect, everything was yummers. The cheesy tots fries were also nice. The cheese they use isn't just typical melty cheese, but decent quality cheese that have been melted to go on the tots. I got it with the chicken, and the chicken was quite good, and it wasn't just shredded, but more chunkier. But the tots, so good again. Overall, Taco Daddy is going to be on the slightly costlier side when talking taqueria style food. I dubbed it a faux taqueria, because it's more meant to be a hip version of a taqueria, so it's not quite so divey. The food here was delicious, and plentiful. Tater tots were the shining parts for me, while all the other stuff complimented each other well. Will be back again when I need to fulfill that tater tot craving.

Taco Daddy's moved into their new space a few months ago and it's a bright, colorful, fun vibe. The bigger space also allowed a full bar and expanded menu. We shared the table guac - so good with lots of colorful Vegis too. I had the rolled chicken tacos, and an Ala cart Baja (shrimp) street taco. So many great flavors, bright and refreshing. The taco was so full it was a little hard to eat, but worth it. My friend had the super daddy burrito with carnitas and was very happy with it (she takes her burritos seriously) The service was friendly and quick and the drinks were good too. Definitely going back.

Amazing service, great music and incredibly helpful staff. The hostess at the front asked me if I had been there before and having said no she has gone through the whole menu with me to ensure I understood it, very good very delicious would definitely recommend.

Yelp
When Hubs suggested this place, I was less than enthusiastic since I've always found tacos to be kinda boring compared to other Mexican dishes. Well, I'm very glad I agreed to give Taco Daddy's a chance bc their tacos really are AWESOME (chingones)! Hubs and I split 3 tacos (carne, pollo, carnitas) and a super burrito w/ pig mix. After the flavor explosions that were the tacos, the burrito seemed kinda heavy and boring. My world is turned upside down. The waitstaff is very pleasant and efficient. The decor is very cool, but the hard surfaces made it a little loud where we were against the back wall, so sit outside if you want to converse. We'll def be back to try the rest of the menu.

I had lunch here today w/ Kathy and Joan. Kathy used to work w/ Alan, which is how we became friends. She and her former partner were part of our couples' book group. Joan and I worked together in Vallejo until she transferred to a clinic in East Contra Costa County to be closer to home. When Kathy transferred to that clinic they became friends and discovered they had me in common. We have been talking about getting together for a long time now and today it happened. We decided to meet in Martinez because it was centrally located and Kathy had heard good things about Taco Daddy's from friends. I drove to Kathy's house and she drove us here. As we drove down Las Juntas I spotted a parking space in the block before Taco Daddy's and we took it, parked and walked over to the restaurant. They have outdoor parklet seating. Joan was inside, comfortably ensconced in a roomy, comfortable booth and we joined her. We were brought menus and studied them. Kathy and I both ordered margaritas, mine a basic one, hers a pretty pink one called Daddy Issues. Actually, hers was a cocktail, not a margarita, because it was made w/ vodka rather than tequila. We ordered guacamole and chips plus a flight of salsas to share. We decided to wait a while to order our mains. The guacamole was very tasty, the chips were house made, thick and crispy and were refilled when we finished the first two cups of them. The four salsas ranged from flavorful, mild-medium spicy reddish and greenish to a couple of creamy ones which were tasty and milder. My margarita was delicious and Kathy liked her cocktail. When it came to ordering our mains, Joan ordered a burrito, Kathy ordered a salad and I ordered the surf and turf tostada. Service was sweet and helpful. I wish I had asked her name. My tostada was on the small side, perfect for me, given my enjoyment of the guacamole, chips and salsa. I really liked it. It was flavorful, w/ marinated strips of steak, shrimp, salsa jimbo, fundido, guacamole, marinated onions, jalapeño and cilantro on two small crispy tortillas. Joan cut her burrito in half and gave the other half to Kathy to take home. Kathy ate maybe 2/3 of her salad and took the rest home. We lingered comfortably talking until we were ready to go. I said goodbye to Joan, whose parking meter was running low and used the bathroom before getting on the road. There are two gender neutral bathrooms on the way out on the right, the doors colorfully painted. They are roomy and clean. When we got to Kathy's house she offered me the container w/ the rest of her salad and Joan's half burrito, saying she wasn't fond of leftovers. I love leftovers, so I took them, planning to have them as part of my dinner. Until I lifted the burrito, preparing to put it on the plate tonight. It was much heavier than I had expected, so it went in the refrigerator and will be tomorrow's lunch. Kathy's leftover salad constituted the majority of my dinner tonight. I was less impressed w/ it than I was w/ my tostada. The flavors were much less vibrant. It was a combination of chopped lettuce, beans, corn, tortilla strips, diced tomatoes and maybe cheese w/ some meat--I couldn't determine what it was--and an innocuous dressing. I was very glad I had ordered the tostada. Tomorrow I will see what I think of the burrito. If I don't like it I will put it in the compost bin and have a bagel and schmear. Please read as 4.49 stars. Update 9/9: I ate the burrito for lunch and it was good, flavorful and full of stuff. I reheated it slowly and ate it w/ a fork until it was small enough to pick up. It wasn't noticeably salty, but there must have been quite a bit of added salt because I was very thirsty as the afternoon wore on. I don't eat burritos because they're too big for me. The last one I ate was close to 20 years ago, so I'm unlikely to order one again, but I enjoyed this one.

I ordered tacos with extra meat but instead of extra meat it looks like they gave me less meat than what it supposed to come with. The taste was amazing but the portion was so small I felt disrespected. Instead of sending my food back I just ordered more and had them discount the difference. Sine it's only two stars I'll take a picture when it's good for business.
