La Taquería Chiquitita — Restaurant in Vienna

I asked the employee if the tacos were home made. He said unfortunately they weren’t. And that's exactly how they tasted. I've read some of the other reviews and I'm aware that the owner claims they are made freshly every day, but this was not my experience. Dry, not very warm, no corn taste, more like wheat.

Also I find it cumbersome that I must add my own toppings. Even if that's how it's done in Mexico, it’s annoying (at least make signs explaining the toppings please). Every cheap Döner place can manage to individualize toppings … why not do it here? It’s more hygienic and a better experience for the customer.

Speaking of: If I am eating with my hands, I prefer not to be forced to touch the utensils that 20 strangers touched before me (toppings bar). I know they offer hand sterilizer but who wants to have the sharp smell of disinfectant on their hands while eating a taco?

Same goes for being forced to fill out an order form, even if the place is empty. I don’t care if this is the Mexican way, it’s also an unnecessary burden.

My suggestions:

Boost Taco quality Have toppings included Take orders without bureaucracy

If you can do that at the same price, I will back

UPDATED AFTER OWNERS RESPONSE:

Too bad you can’t take criticism from your paying customers without being condescending.

Since you decided to smugly characterize me as someone who might prefer Döner, let me be clear:

Whether I like Döner isn’t the point (I don’t). The point is that even cheap Döner places manage to offer more service than you.

As for mansplaining Mexican culinary terms to me: good luck with that attitude.

The point was that the tortillas taste like the kind I can get in any...

If you come from a place where tacos are almost everyday food (Mexico City; Texas) you are very spoiled … there are so many Mexican restaurants, taco places, street vendors that you have a wide choice. In Vienna? It's of course very limited … I tried Chichitita for the first time. It's an "eats" place … no frills. If you know the U.S., it's like "Chipotle", but on a very limited budget. The tortillas are much smaller than the ones in the U.S., Mexico … therefore the fillings are also smaller … the sauces? four different types out of ketchup-type plastic bottles. I went for the "salsa fuego" (supposed to be very spicy) which was, though spicy, a white, strangely creamy concoction … I expected something more watery, reddish … I guess I still dreamed of the "sauce bar" at Taco Cabaña in Fort Worth, TX …

… as to the tacos: … de chorizo? Don't have it. … de suadero? Don't have it. … de barbacoa? Don't have it. I settled for cochinita, carnitas, chilorio … Mexican beer? Sol … Any other, like Dos Equis, Modelo, Corona? No. So, it was Sol … not my preferred brand, but so be it …

… the food had a certain uniform taste … salty. To round it out, had a "frozen margarita" but I found it to be very light on the tequila …

Prices are most reasonable. May be alright for tourists on a budget? O.K. Quality? … you be the judge …

… the lone guy behind the counter was very helpful. Some time after me a young lady in a wheelchair came in; he immediately jumped to have her manage the step up to the...

I went to have dinner there and everything was fine when we arrived but then the guy ho has brown color skin and curly hair is the one who was taking our order and from moment one he wasnt that “kind and friendly”. Then about the food, personally i did like it and being mexican im used to this type of “self service” taco restaurant so im really fine with that because you put as much as you think its right. They didnt have one of the flavors I asked so i went for another and i liked it, my boyfriend who is vegan, liked his as well and the sauces were ok. So food wise i think its good, the place is nice buy extremely hot, the BAD thing is that i was recording the restaurant from multiple angles because i wanted to do a TikTok about it so more people can come (I usually charge for this and I was going to do it by heart to support mexican people) and then we very rude told me “if you’re going to film the staff, you have to ask me for permission” , which ok I understand but 1. He didn’t even know if he was on my video, 2. He could’ve asked kindly like hey! Please can you ask if you want to film the staff? , which clearly i did not want to record the staff, but the restaurant, he was every single time so not kind and moody that i wouldn’t go back necessarily because of...
