"A Sonoran-style taco is only as outstanding as its flour tortilla and smoky meat. By that logic, you'll find LA's best versions at this recently opened spot in Bellflower. We're talking golden, buttery tortillas so thin they're nearly translucent but still require molars to tear into. We're talking evenly charred asada whacked with a cleaver, scorched tripas that somehow taste like fatty chicharrón, and puddles of sinus-zapping salsa verdes. Brighten up your tacos with limón, and you're in for an unforgettable dining experience. " - sylvio martins, garrett snyder, brant cox, nikko duren

"There aren't many Sonoran-style taquerías in LA, but the few we do have really elbow their way into the city's taco scene at large. Sonoratown cranks out excellent chivichangas with the efficiency of a Tesla assembly line. El Ruso makes dainty flour tortillas that withstand drippy, stewed chicharrón. Sonoritas serves juicy filet mignon tacos for an indulgent lunch. And then came Tacos La Rueda, a Bellflower taqueria with a menu that's seemingly twice as long as its peer spots. We're dubbing this Sonora's unofficial embassy in LA, or at least for all things flour and beef. photo credit: Jessie Clapp photo credit: Jessie Clapp photo credit: Jessie Clapp photo credit: Jessie Clapp photo credit: Jessie Clapp The tacos de asada here just feel right. Not in a woo-woo kind of way, but in the literal, textural sense. Thin flour tortillas are semi-translucent, yet sturdy and foldable like a magician's handkerchief. Sliced cabbage, onion, and cilantro add a needed crunch. Salsa roja jabs you with spice for a quick second, and every edge of beef has a distinct crispiness. One of the main characteristics of Sonoran barbecue is the smell of mesquite charcoal, and how its smoke permeates everything like an industrial-strength air freshener. That's not the case at Tacos La Rueda (they use gas) but the tender chuck steak still gets plenty of flavorful char from the quality time it spends with a ripping hot asador. While beef is the signature, it's by no means the only draw of this small strip mall taquería. Tacos La Rueda does the most with their relatively limited space, which looks like an In-N-Out that commissioned a mural of a Yaqui tribesman. The menu is varied and hyper-regional, with specialties you can't find at your average stand like bacon-wrapped "doggos," cheesy caramelos, lorenzas with frijoles dripping off the side, and tacos de cabeza that are so delicate they disintegrate like a Kleenax caught in a flame. Order an item that kisses Tacos La Rueda's grill and safely assume it'll be the most memorable thing you swallow this week, whether that's the nearly incinerated tripas or the warm tortillas dabbed with rendered bacon fat. The success of these tacos comes down to the timing and temperature control of the grill. That attention to heat, in combination with the balanced salsas, is what makes La Rueda's tacos some of LA's best. Tacos La Rueda is carving out even more room in the LA taco conversation for smoky, Sonoran-style grilled meat tucked into golden tortillas de harina—an evolution that should delight anyone who cares about our food scene. From now on, don't talk about LA tacos without mentioning this taquería. And if you do, we'll know you haven't been here yet. Food Rundown photo credit: Jessie Clapp Tacos Choosing the right tortilla is as important as choosing the right hiking books. At Tacos La Rueda, always go flour (unless you get the tacos de cabeza, in which case the softer corn tortilla lets you appreciate the fatty bits in the mixed beef cheek, lip, and tongue). The asada is some of the best in LA, the al pastor is juicy and more subtle in flavor than we were expecting, and the tripas are so aggressively crispy, they taste like thick-cut bacon left on the griddle for too long. We like to order our tacos with the works: salsa roja, cabbage, onion, cilantro, and a big ol' blob of guacamole to cool things down. photo credit: Jessie Clapp Lorenza If a taco and a tostada met on Hinge and had a baby, it'd be this. Imagine a corn tortilla got left on the grill until it became crispy, charred, and a little bendy, and then was promptly doused in frijoles. There's cheese, guac, and meat in this crispy tortilla, too, so expect the whole thing to collapse the moment you bite in. We like asada with ours because it doesn't overpower everything else. photo credit: Jessie Clapp Caramelo The Clifford The Big Red Dog of tacos. It's huge, so consider sharing if you want to sample more. It comes as a folded, hub cap-sized tortilla loaded with frijoles, your choice of meat, and all the usual toppings, plus an entire grilled anaheim chile melted into a cheese crust. The juicy al pastor works great here because it comes with grilled sweet pineapple to cut through the salt." - Sylvio Martins

Food was great! No complaints on that. Tried the caramelo, hot dog, asada fries, and ordered a taco to test out the meat. Staff was friendly, and location was clean. Limited seating setup. But the wait for our order was not the best. We were only ones at first placing an order and shortly after paying, four groups walked in. It took about 40mins before we were out the door. Can mean 1 of 2, either they need to hire more cooks, since they only had 1 visibly in the back, or all plates are super fresh. Either way location is a must if you are trying to eat food like back home, but just come with a little extra time to spend.

Come check this place out !!! Clean Location Staff was friendly I ordered the HOT DOG Estilo Sonora 🔥🔥 1 Taco De Asada 🔥🔥 1 Taco de Alpastor 🔥 Y un Caramelo de Asada 💣 (Which is a Flour Tortilla with pinto beans, Monterey Jack cheese, Guacamole, Anaheim Chile, and of course Asada) Everything I Tried was Delicious.

Cool place and food looked really good but on my first bite I chewed right through my carne asada. A couple bites later and I realized that I could taste everything except the meat. After being disappointed by the asasa I tried the pollo which was much tastier and seemed to be marinated well. They really need better asada and spices, I don’t think I would come back otherwise.

I’m from Hermosillo and found this place online as we were leaving LA back to Arizona today Sunday 5/18 around 5:30 this place was amazing, the dogos were on point and original, just like being back home, and the tortillas de harina were so good, tacos dorados were on the spot too. Ambiance was great, reminds me of San Carlos and that yaqui mural is such an IG post opportunity- food was amazing, service was great by all the guys at the counter and in the kitchen- super nice and owner should be super proud of having good staff. Thanks for being here!

🇲🇽 SONORA, MÉXICO (via Eat the World Los Angeles) - It was only a few years ago that folks from Arizona would complain non-stop about the lack of quality Sonoran food in Los Angeles, but those times now have the feeling of being decades in the rear-view mirror. Tacos La Rueda is one of many new spots that have opened in the last couple years focusing on the delicious flour tortillas, perfectly grilled meats, and unique antojitos of the Northern Mexican state. Thankfully after quite a bit of local love and spilled ink they seem to only be getting better with each day that passes.

Tacos and hot dog were good. Better than a lot of places around town. I’d go back for the hot dog for sure.

Great tacos, have had both carne asada and al pastor, both equally delicious. They put a couple small slices of pineapple on them, which tops them off nicely. Not stingy with the meat either. Employees very friendly.. Carrots are also a nice touch. Highly recommend!!!!!

This place has good deals on weekdays. Food is delicious. We have tried the burritos, carne asada nachos, and tortas but we need to go back to try their menudo which I heard is great. It’s a little bit small inside but the place is always clean and the cashier is always friendly.

Excelente lugar para comer un rico dogo sonorense, unos ricos tacos de asada o un menudo blanco de lo mejor. Un pedacito de Obregón en Los Ángeles. Pura calidad recomendados.

I've been in search of a bomb carne asada fries spot foreveeeeeerrr in the local area and I am so glad I stumbled upon this place after deciding to NOT wait in line for King Taco down the street lol The carne asada fries is the only thing I'm leaving a review for - it was huge, fries are perfectly crispy on the outside but soft on the inside, cheese melted on top with the carne asada and all the toppings omg each bite was a feeling of heaven on earth. It definitely hits the spot especially for late night cravings lol

Every time I come home, I have to stop in and eat here once or even twice a visit! Not only is the food super good, the manager (or possibly owner.. not sure) is super nice and remembers me! Service is fast and efficient and quality of food is impeccable.

Excellent tacos! Flavorful and juicy filling. Not overly greasy. Well seasoned and good portion sizes. Will return again.

The food is great!!!! Amazing everything on the menu is delicious I had seen this place on IG and finally was able to come and try. We even ordered food to go I can't say enough of this place. It's small but worth the sit down Service was great, the music a little loud but manageable

If you are feeling like eating menudo and tacos de asada Sonora style, this is the place! Tacos La Rueda is located at a plaza with other establishments, so there is enough parking space. The place itself it's a bit small. Sometimes I've waited for a table, other times my family members have shared tables with other people. That might sound weird for some, but the vibes are great! I try to eat there because ordering to go causes my tacos to get soggy. The customer service 10/10, the cashiers, cooks and waiters have always been very welcoming and helpful with any requests. They tend to be busy, but they are on top of it! Now, the food. Oh my! As a native from Ciudad Obregón, Sonora, I highly recommend this place. Not only you feel like you are welcomed, but the food is VERY close to the authentic taste, a close 9/10. My family from out of state enjoys coming here for the taste, and because they open early - compared to other taquerias that sale Sonora style food. It is becoming a staple to have breakfast here the morning after a family gathering. My family and myself have tried the menudo, tacos de asada, lorenzas, caramelo, asada nachos (humongous by the way), hot dogs (or dogos as we call them), chilaquiles and tortas de cabeza. The tacos and lorenzas are my absolute favorite. I am not a big fan of menudo but the taste is authentic. The cabeza was a bit greasy for my taste, but still good. The dogos are sooo close in flavor; I think the bread is missing a little something to reach its full potential. The cebada is simply delicious. Do not try it if you are not familiar with the taste since is very particular. I enjoy eating here because it is a local authentic spot. They also sell machaca, coyotas, tortillas, and other typical Sonoran foods if interested. They also have other types of meats and meals, but the tacos de asada are a must!

Went back here because I heard that they updated their menu and there's a lot more items on it. Now they have burritos, hotdogs and all of this other stuff. I went in really wanting a burrito but it ended up getting Asada nachos. The meat here is just superior quality to other places in the area. Asada nachos - good overall! My two gripes about the nachos are that (1) there wasn't enough cheese and it was just sitting on top of the chips completely not melted and (2) they do not seem to use real guacamole, it taste like that stuff that comes out of a bag that's unusually creamy. It also needed more beans and flavor in general but I added stuff from the salsa bar so it was fine. I would eat these nachos with great quality meat even with my gripes over any low quality meat nachos anytime. Once I added stuff from the salsa bar it had a lot more flavor. Chips stayed crispy for a while too which was nice! Good chips. Also pastor tacos - good! The pineapple they put on top of the tacos was good for the most part but some of it was the center core which isn't really meant to be eaten. Also the slices were way too small. We like pineapple so the tiny sliver wasn't enough. Again though, meat quality is fabulous and they give a fair portion. Guava empanadas dessert - disappointing. It was a lot of bread and not a lot of guava. The flavor was pretty bland overall. It was also $11 which is pretty expensive. Overall I like this place and it's near my house so I'll definitely go back and would recommend it.

Came in since we aren't around here and wanted to give it a try. It is small inside but the food was very yummy. They put so much meat and were worth the prices. Everything was super flavorful. The guy who rang us up was sweet and gave us a test try of their cebada drink. Which was super yummy never had before. Definitely recommend.

Fresh flour tortillas!! The texture of these tacos are amazing, the tortillas remain pliable and slightly chewy without any cracks, even when it's cold! The meats are flavorful, and respectable portion sizes. The salsas are fresh and spicy, without being overly sour or astringent. Will come back to try more items! Just a warning, eat them the day you get em, I tried to save one for the second day and it didn't survive well in the microwave!

Yelp
Legit one of my fav go-to spots. They have authentic Sonoran style food, salsas are good, little different than what we are used to in LA. Ive had the Lorenza, Caramelo which are tacos in a huge flour tortillas with their own toppings. Never had anything bad here. If you like Tripas, they have awesome Tacos de Tripitas super golf and crispy. Was hyped about knowing they also sell Dogos, Sonoran/arizona style Hot Dogs. They import the bread from Sonora, must try. They also have Sonoran Style Menudo on weekends. Its Menudo Blanco(nor red colored broth), hits the spot. Pro Tip: Try the off the Menu Chilaquiles de Machaca omfgeee

These tacos were well worth the drive for me. The sonora style tacos brings back good memories and their asada/tripas tacos did not disappoint. Would really recommend this spot to anyone that likes flour tortilla tacos. 5/5

After seeing an LA Taco article about this place saying it rivals the city's best and realizing it's less than a 15 minute drive local from my house, I knew I had to try it. Now that I have tried it on two occasions, Tacos La Rueda may be my new favorite taco spot. Over the course of two visits, we got to try every meat they offer, all on flour tortillas, since I believe that's what they're know for. The thin flour tortillas are so good. Of the meats, carne asada was by far my favorite, but all the meats were really flavorful and well-seasoned. The asada had a great grilled flavor that I associate. I always thought I had to go to DTLA for comparable tacos, but these are just as good as my other favorite place (but much closer). I honestly have not stopped thinking about these tacos, they are that tasty. We also tried a quesadilla on our last visit, which was very good, but a little dried out. Fortunately, we were able to top it with salsa. They have a pretty huge condiment bar out, with four different salsas, pickled onions, jalapenos, limes, radishes, carrots, so you can top your tacos with whatever you want. I also noticed that they have some condiments out on the counter, like cheese, an avocado crema, some crema with corn. I wasn't sure what they were for and was nervous to ask, but I ended up just taking some anyway. The service both times was very quick, efficient, and friendly. The place itself has maybe four small tables, so if you have a big party, it might be better to take out.

Friendly and helpful staff. Easy and good menu. I got the Carmelo taco. Which was on a flour tortilla with a grilled Anaheim chile with cheese, i chose tripas as my protein and topped with pinto beans, salsa, cabbage and guacamole. The Tripas were nice and crispy and good. All blended with the green salsa from their help yourself salsa bar. They have a few spots to sit and enjoy and music playing but not too loud. A few return customers came and they were remembered. I will definitely be back.

Krissta G.

Yelp
Caramelo de al pastor is very good. It's way bigger than I expected. And it's just the right amount of spice. My hubby would definitely order this again! The La Rueda fries were really good. The guacamole is the best! I'm not a fan of guacamole but this definitely changed my mind. I obviously couldn't not finish this all. The papa loca was good. I did get tired of eating it but it's soo big!! I ordered it without the mushrooms though.

Excellent service and good once again! Came again to satisfy my taco cravings and didn't disappoint! Salsa/veggie bar was well served with good variety. Aguas were very delicious and refreshing.

Tastes great! Asada nachos and tacos were delicious! Need to eat something delicious right now? Visit Tacos la Rueda. The food is reallyyyy good and great customer service. They have homemade salsa and even flour tacos , wow Estilo Sonora they said !

Had seen this place on Instagram and decided to stop by since it was local. Very small not a lot of places to sit, but we were able to find a spot on the counter. We ordered an Asada, chicken, pastor and tripas taco. The tripas was our absolute favorite. Not only is it hard to find tripas but also very hard to find good tripas. I know my boyfriend has been back to get those tacos after we initially went. Not a fan of the chicken, but the pastor and asada were also very tasty. Service was good. You order at the counter and they give you your food.

Yelp
I recently stumbled upon my new favorite taco spot! The Caramelo de Asada is an absolute delight - a Sonoran-style taco served on a freshly made flour tortilla. Packed with flavors, it's loaded with well-seasoned carne asada, a grilled Anaheim chile filled with gooey melted cheese, beans, guacamole, cabbage, and salsa. I added some of their delicious pickled red onion and habanero from their salsa bar, and a squeeze of lime took it to the next level!! Their salsa bar offers a variety of salsa and delicious grilled jalapenos!!! At $9.00, it's a generous and gratifying meal. Plus, the staff is exceptionally friendly, adding to the overall fantastic experience!

Yadira C.

Yelp
The staff was very nice, excellent service and the place is clean, they have home made tortillas and fresh salsa too, the flour quesadilla with meat was a good size but it tasted salty. I think the combination of the kind of cheese and meat felt salty in my mouth. Other than that I wish this place the best of luck.

Tina G.

Yelp
Tacos LA Rueda ....Sonora style YES! The food was great and flavorful, and there was no need for extra seasoning. The first time here was the staff, and was eager to make suggestions/welcoming. Some of the other review mentioned high price...yes a little but keep in mind tacos are not street/minis so for $3.50 and homemade flour tort worth it! Have to mention the cookies de cajeta $10.00 was $$$ but omgoodness delish...when on Lakewood y 91fwy in Bellflower it's a stop to try...enjoy.

You betta getta, Tacos La Rueda https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Uk-6g1AdUL6gT99Ll3bKrw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Free al pastor taco with check-in Tacos La Rueda recently opened, serving Sonoran-style tacos & other dishes. Always intrigued by a new taqueria, lunch beckoned & Tacos La Rueda answered the call. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=mEIQwIhkZZwx2dnlhggBXA&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Taco trio- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=jW3zXk8F3U5nc63YAomykg&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Al pastor, carne asada & tripas. Customers have the choice of corn or flour tortillas. The menu stated tacos are $3.50/each. However, I was charged an extra 50 cents for the tripas. All three tacos were good. The al pastor was topped with pineapple, which is a presentation I haven't seen, before. Of the three, my favorite was my tripas, of course. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ue2hDOAinNWZgMwuk4GYBw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Tripas taco- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=7vVyrzJy3-RjXn98wVJqWw&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. The interior is clean, bright & modern-looking. There are a good amount of tables to dine at. The salsa bar is fully stocked, including guacamole. Parking is via private lot. Tacos La Rueda is locate on the right of Fantastic Grill. Priced a tad higher than most other taqueiras, Tacos La Rueda, without questions, serves up delicious tacos. Having all the guacamole you want at the salsa bar helps offset the higher cost. The pineapple on the al pastor differentiates Tacos La Rueda over it's competitors & I'd be game to stop by in the future, when I happen to be in the area.

Casey C.

Yelp
Only tried a few tacos here so far but I'm hooked! The flour tortillas here are thin but really good texture, highly recommend. Tried the al pastor, asada & tripas and all 3 were very flavorful and cooked to perfection. The tripas were very crispy & had a nice smoky flavor. I'm already looking forward to going back for more!! At first I thought 3 tacos wouldn't be enough (as usually I get 5 street tacos) but they were very satiating as they pack a lot of protein in each taco, definitely worth the $3 per taco price. Also service was super friendly & quick. It is a smaller restaurant and when we went it was a full house. We got ours to go and the food was ready within 5 minutes. Can't wait to go back to try out the other items!

Yelp
Believe all the hype on instagram and tik tok, Tacos La Rueda is the real deal, the quality of the meats used and the freshness of produce and salsa were a huge complement to meats. Tacos were memorable and delicious and I find myself thinking of them quite often. The first bite is a lasting first impressing that will have you coming back for more.

Very crowded on a Sunday at like 11am. Handmade flour tortillas are the way to go. The asada is very good. Tacos decent size. Sonoran dog was giant, and a mess, with a pretty small dog. I know that's how its done but you really are just eating bread and mayo/toppings 80% of the time. I think this spot is definitely good enough if you're near the area, but not quite a destination.

Ms. Mar Q.

Yelp
You will not be disappointed!!! Talk about delicious food. Attentive and great hospitality from the staff. We tried the menudo blanco and it was perfect. We liked the food so much that we went back in the evening to try the tacos and doggos. My husband is from Sonora and he said it tasted very authentic.

I had Tacos La Rueda bookmarked and decided to try it out. The interior is small but very bright and clean. They still have the Grand Opening banner up out front. Service was friendly and you order at the counter, the employee was fluent in both English and Spanish. The menu isn't too big, and only a few cuts of meat, but I was delighted that they had tripa. I have never had Sonoran-style tacos, and ironically I didn't order tacos but opted for some of the other unfamiliar items on the menu instead: caramelo (de tripa) and lorenza (de nopal). The caramelo was like a giant flour tortilla taco, and the lorenza kind of like a tostada sandwich. We also ordered a carne asada torta. The salsa and side bar was nice. We also ordered totopos (tortilla chips) for an extra $2. The totopos were made to order and super crispy, without being heavy and oily, definitely a highlight of the meal. I am very picky with my totopos! I was also excited to be able to eat the chips with fresh squeezed lime juice, just like in Mexico. We ordered two aguas frescas to drink, cucumber with lime and hibiscus. They were a bit too watered down for me, though still okay. Overall, food was kind of pricey, but taste was there and it was definitely super authentic. I would love to come back to try more off the menu, especially the menudo blanco on the weekends. I think Tacos La Rueda is one of the few places in the area that you can get flour tortilla tacos, and with good quality flour tortillas like in Northern Mexico and not the terribly processed American version.

Ava J.

Yelp
Each bite of this caramelo HAS to be savored (not that I didn't enjoy scarfing it down because we were trying to make it to our movie). Imagine sinking your teeth into a flour tortilla (which surprisingly reminded me of a buttery roti in terms of chew), an Anaheim chile with a cheese crust, creamy frijoles puercos, and a substantial layer of carne asada (with a delicious char) and tripas (an on-a-whim add on that was an absolute crunchy triumph). Perfection only made better by a squeeze of lime, stuff from the salsa bar and a tall glass of their cucumber agua fresca . Already making plans to go back for a do-over.

Ive been wanting to try this place for a while and it did not dissapoint! Menudo- just like my Nana made. It had a nice deep flavor. Rich but not heavy. The tacos were really good too, the salsas are fire. We were all very happy with our choices. I will be back soon to try the hot dogs.

Yelp
Oh where oh where should I start. I have to give kiddos to the staff, super friendly and place looked very clean. Ok, the food, I hate to say it but I wasn't too impressed with it, maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. I got a papa loca with al pastor, for $14 I was expecting the container to be brimming to the top, I get home and it's this sad little potato, not much meat but mostly cheese, I think I got spoiled when I had my first papa loca at a taco stand on bellflower and Carson, thing was so big and packed with meat that it made two meals and for about the same price. The meat on the potato and tacos seemed a little dry, their salsas were pretty good. They sell packs of flour tortillas so i bought a pack at an incredible rip off price of $6.85, WOW , but I have to say they are very good with my melted butter " yum yum" . Overall place is ok, will I return? Most likely not.

Tacos, Burritos & Dogos are all authentic Sonora flavor. My favorite spot for sure. Is a little small if u can't find a seat take it to go is so good.

Came in to try the Sonora dogs. We traveled to Tucson once to try them out there. The hotdogs here are almost identical as the ones out there. We also had the quesadilla and fries. The food was great and service was fast and friendly. We will definitely come again.

Yelp
The tacos and food here are are absolutely delicious. Plenty of meat is stuffed inside their tacos which is much appreciated. Their quality is also above average no matter what meat you choose. The carne asada fries are a massive portion that you can share with more than one person. Staff is friendly and helpful when you order. The inside is clean, organized and their salsa bar is on point! I love coming here for lunches and look forward to going on those days. Keep up the great work!

I've been tempted to come in here and I did today. So long, farewell, goodbye I won't be back. I had a combo #6, 4 taco plate with rice and beans, I didn't think the meat was seasoned well and the tortilla was bland. The rice tasted like Bellflowers sinks water (Bellflower has brown water). Horchata was the tastiest thing I had tonight and that's not saying much.

Bianka C.

Yelp
Omgoodness! This place is so so good! Husband and I were driving around and stumbled on this place. We ordered the papa loca with carne asada and the Caramelos which are like quesadillas with cabbage, guacamole, salsa, Anaheim Chile and your choice of meat. I chose asada and these were so good I'm already planning my next visit lol we came in after the football game so it was pretty busy but with good reason and service was still pretty fast. They have a few tables and chairs inside if you want to dine in but our little ones were asleep so we ordered take out. I can't wait to go back and have some more Caramelos!

Tacos estilo Sonora, tambien hay tortillas de harina y otros antojitos disponible para comprar y disfrutar en casa. Buen sazon estilo Yaqui.

Decided to try this place out because of social media but was left very disappointed. I ordered a burrito but the tortilla that happens to be handmade was very chewy. The asada is good quality but overall it's lacking flavor. Don't get fooled by the social media hype you're better off going to King Taco further down the street . In conclusion I wouldn't recommend this place.

I was turned on to this place from L.A. Taco and it didn't disappoint. I have a carne asada taco and a caramelo al pastor. Both were spot on, great flavor, love the flour tortilla. The caramelowas extra crazy! I'm coming back as soon as I can. If you haven't been here yet, it's a no brainer.

The price.....ehhh over 40 dollars for two people and I didn't even get a drink. Nachos didn't have much in the way of meat and toppings on them for 15 dollars. I ordered one thing and didn't get it until I mentioned it halfway through eh meal.and the it was served with something I'm allergic to (that I had omitted from the entire rest of the order)
