L.A. TACOS — Restaurant in Irving

• EDIT* after a month of my review for "L.A. Tacos", they actually replied today (see pics to see their reply) and I can't, but to feel confused, why would you want a guest to come back... When you stated "we do not black pepper in the salsa" yet, it is obvious my salsa Had black pepper, the beans had black pepper, I am sure the location has some sort of surveillance cameras, I think it is time to check those in stead of indirectly denying me of what an awful XP I had with your food. Maybe your team it is not paying attention to what they are doing with the food while prepping and I had the 'luck' of being the one who tried it. If you are not learning from the HONEST reviews, then I sincerely do not know what could help!

Yesterday we stopped by L.A. Tacos to grabbed some late lunch, I asked if they served Birria Tacos and the lady stated they did not, they only have what is written on the menu. I then ordered "Tacos al Pastor", we also ordered some Carne asada tacos and also a burrito. Some chips and salsa arrived to the table, and as I reached to dipped my chip into the salsa, I noticed the salsa had black pepper in it (I personally would say, way too much black pepper to my taste) so I did not ate that. Food arrived and we were certainly excited (Food makes me Happy 😁) Yet, I noticed my Tacos did not look nearly close to what an actual "Taco Al pastor Look like, nor smells like" my Husband noticed right away me looking at my food in a certain (analyzing way) and Kindly reminded me the fact many do make food in different ways, so I decided to try the tacos anyway... as I bit one of them... I bit a chunk of what it would be the fat of the meat (this is ODD cause actual cuts for Tacos al partos have NO FAT in them!) I noticed the meat had NO flavour either and the meat was overly 'juicy' (like it had some sort of juice, when originally tacos al Pastor are just so much more different) lastly I noticed they were also lacking the pineapple in them. I ate one taco and just left the other 2, cause I do not like forcing myself to eat things I do not enjoy (My husband took them to go and ate them) I tried the beans and did not liked them cause strangely also the beans had TONS of black pepper in them. I can NOT say this place is 'bad', I am not sure we would come back in the near future. In the mean time it is safe to share, the food it is just...

I moved back to Texas over 5 years ago and this was by far the worst dining experience I have ever had in the state. I never write bad reviews but this is deserved. My party comes in and the place is virtually empty. We make our order. We are waiting for somewhere around 20 minutes for our food when we notice a larger group that came in after us received their order before us. We were told that they “called in” and that’s why they got their orders first. And that was only after the staff realized we were visibly upset. I’ve never heard of someone ordering ahead for dine in service. Even if that was the case that is not a reason to delay another party’s order for that long of a period of time. We finally get our food after sitting inside for about 30 minutes. Regardless of “call in orders” it does not take 30 minutes to make 9 tacos and rice with beans. As for the food itself, it wasn’t great especially for $50. The shrimp on the tacos was tiny and did not taste right. The barbacoa tacos I had lacked any meaningful flavor. I’ve had better tacos from Jack in a Box. I usually give restaurants a second chance but I will make an exception here. I will NEVER return to this...

My boyfriend and I stopped to eat here on our trip to DFW and we ended up getting our money back. I managed to choke down a few bites, keeping to myself, how dry, and old my meat on the Mexican Style Tacos was. When I looked up my boyfriend was spitting his first bite back into his napkin. Needless to say, it didn't bother him driving back up there for a refund, after already driving several hours on our trip. I wished I'd gone to the restroom BEFORE we ever ordered our meal because I would have second guessed eating there after the overwhelming smell of urine in the women's bathroom probably due to the gross site of urine on the sides of the women's toilet. I was scared to wash my hands in there and did so with caution. I decided to use my elbows to exit the bathroom and the store. We definitely would not recommend this place to anyone traveling...
