Man Jose has La Vic's orange sauce that makes their food edible.
Noe has Todo El Dia's orange sauce that takes their solid food to next level deliciousness.
Sure, there's other orange sauces but I usually find them either too mild or so spicy that it will burn your bootyhole. I love it hella spicy but sometimes you just want something more balanced that won't blow your palate out.
Todo El Dia's orange sauce.
The árbol chili based sauce is creamy with a nice tang, kiss of fruity flavor, and warming heat (sriracha-like spicy). I found myself slathering everything in that orange sauce.
So bomb.
Please sell that crack sauce to the public!
From the owner of Tacolicious, Todo El Dia is an all day, fast-casual resto serving Mexico-city style fare. They took over Village Rotisserie. They're open for takeout, delivery, indoor dining, and outdoor dining. The back patio is dog-friendly and there's dog treats available.

* MF Chicken: Chile-rubbed Rotisserie Chicken w/ rancho gordo yellow-eye beans, mint-cilantro rice, housemade blue corn tortillas (Half - $24) // 4.5 stars: https://tinyurl.com/3ms2hy2t
--Mother-Effin Chicken: Juicy, meaty rotisserie chicken with tasty citrus and mild chili notes with a kiss of smoky flavor. Even the breast meat was surprisingly juicy. I appreciated that it wasn't salty. The skin wasn't crispy tho and could have used more char but it was hella solid.
--Rancho gordo yellow-eye beans: Tender with a creamy center. Hearty and delicious.
--Mint-cilantro Rice: Fluffy, separated grains with a subtle herbacousness.
--Housemade Blue Corn Tortillas (4 pc): Hot off la plancha, the tortillas were thick, soft, and pliable with a satisfying chew and earthy flavor.
BYO tacos and drizzle that orange sauce on everything! Feeds two people for $24, a good value for the city.

Order at the counter, seat yourself, and your order will be brought to you.
Visited after work on a quiet afternoon. With no line, it took about 10 minutes for the food to arrive.

Casual with festive colors. Awesome back patio with fairy lights, heat lamps, and blankets. Indie rock playing.

Challenging street parking.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with Todo El Dia. I usually don't gravitate towards Americanized Mexican food but they utilizes good quality ingredients and execute them well. Plus, that orange sauce. Don't come at me for this but I think it's better than La Vic's.
