Food: Decent tacos overshadowed by blandness

The carne asada and chile colorado tacos come highly recommended for their portion sizes and general satisfaction, but freshness and taste issues leave diners wanting more. Despite praise for certain items, many noted the food often borders on bland with disappointing seasoning.

  • Okay Portions

    Tacos praised for meat portions, suggesting size is just right.

  • Bad Taste

    Food lacks flavor, seasoning, and is often described as bland, underwhelming.

About Vibe

  • Okay Comfort

  • No Buzz

    Overhyped and caters only to a specific crowd, not universally appealing.

Perks: Challenging parking and service woes

Parking is a nightmare, as street availability is virtually nonexistent. The service has its own set of challenges, with some customers reporting staff being rude, which can dampen the overall experience.

  • Okay for Diets

    WOM lacks bite-sized context to explain the neutral Diet sway.

  • Bad Staff
