This restaurant is SO CUTE! The decor is unmatched, I love it! It was very Dia de Los Muertos and I'm all about that!
When we walked in there were two stations where you could order electronically, so we did that, as there didn't appear to be anyone at the register to take orders at the moment. I didn't love the electronic ordering bc I couldn't compare multiple items at the same time like I could do on a physical menu.
We decided on birria tacos, al pastor tacos, bottled water and horchata. My friend had never had horchata before, which i thought was wild, but i digress.
The establishment is small, but luckily a table just left. We went to claim the table as our own and almost immediately an employee was there to wipe down the remainder of the last patrons, thankfully!
The birria tacos and out very quickly, which I'm assuming is because the meat is slow cooked and they just have to put em on the grill and melt the cheese. My friend said they were amazing and tried to give me her last one! At that point i was like wait, I ordered food, too! And we ordered and paid on one ticket. My friend went up to the counter to ask about my food and they were like what? The food never came out? I didn't realize there was more. They apologized and got the tacos out as quickly as one could!
I will say, I was saddened they didn't have pork for the al pastor tacos, as I do not consume a lot of beef, but the steak al pastor was phenomenal! There was pineapple annnnnd pickled onions-- I've never had pickled onions on my al pastor tacos before, but it will become a request going forward.
After we were done eating, we asked for boxes and I decided I needed a horchata for myself, to go. There was a gentleman with braids sitting on a stool at the register and I stood at the counter for a couple minutes without him acknowledging me or anything when a young lady came over and asked if I needed anything. I told her yes, I just wanted to order a horchata, and she told the fellow sitting down to take my order.
I asked which was better, the regular horchata or the pumpkin spice and he said the classic, so that is what I ordered! I hovered by the counter where the orders are placed when they're ready for about 7-10 minutes, when I was finally like okay can some please tell me how long it takes for horchata? If it just happens to take a long time, that's fine, I can go sit back down.
The guy that took my order was like omg you're still waiting on your horchata?? And immediately got up and poured it from a pitcher that was right there at the counter... so both of my orders were forgotten about, entirely, unfortunately.
I will say, even though nothing i ordered was prioritized or ready in a reasonable amount of time, I would still go back. The employees were all very nice, I really liked the vibe of the place, and everything was delicious! Like, soooo good! I did take off the one star because.... like where's my food, now where's my drink?? But I do highly recommend!
