One year later and it still feels like they're trying to figure it out. The confusing menu, the way you order and pay are just chaotic and disorganized. The cluttered counter doesn't help.
It's a super casual place located inside a convenience store / gas station. With just a few tables, it must be mostly take-out.
Besides a regular menu with combinations of protein, cheese and beans, tacos and burritos, they also offer a more creative 'Tacocat Specialty Items Menu'. Every item is pictured and has funky names and a detailed description of all ingredients. That's a great idea.
After our first experience a year ago, I had high expectations returning. I remember having a decent 'House Pork Carnitas'. The service was pleasant and polite.
This time we met the same very friendly, young man. Unfortunately, our food wasn't that good. It was cold.
Actually, I didn't like the 'Chicky Creama' at all. The chicken was dry. I couldn't taste either the garlic or the lime, just some mayo, which I truly did not appreciate. There wasn't practically any sauce. The cheese didn't melt because everything was cold. It was just a sandwich with too much cabbage, no spice, and I ordered medium hot. The photo from the menu didn't match reality either.
My partner's 'Tacocat Carne Asada' was much tastier and also bigger than my order. Both burritos are supposed to be the same large size. I didn't mind the smaller portion, but at least I'd like to know whether my order matched was right.
I'm not often in the area, and I don't want to discourage new customers from trying this place. It's a convenient, inexpensive way to grab something to eat. The service is still very nice. Plus, their ratings are high. It would be great if they keep up their standards for everyone. Maybe a new / fresh set of photos around the counter would help? It could refresh the whole look and memory how it used to be, or it would be a good opportunity to update how it is now.
