El Mexicano — Restaurant in Lathrop

Ordered 5 tacos, 3 asada and 2 pastor. I was 2 tacos in when i bit down on this extremely hard object, my teeth were ringing. Thinking it went away I chewed again to try and find it and low and behold it was glass in my taco. Parts of it had shattered across my mouth when i bit down. I was able to retrieve a piece not fully broken to show the cooks. They basically told me they can just remake them and that they don’t use glass in their truck! So idk if the insinuation is that I put it there but I left the rest of my tacos at their pick up window and left, in no way was I trying to take advantage. Super upset with how it was handled, I had to use a napkin to get the rest of the small pieces from my gums and cheeks. Horribly ruined my appetite and scared me. Will not ever return.

This is a high volume and heavy repeat customer location which specializes in using higher end meat and oils. The green sauce (mild) is amazing on anything - the medium sauce (red) is for something hot. They also have a third sauce that’s really really hot.

At least once per week the salsa is fire hot. i can’t eat them without my mouth painfully burning. I know some people appreciate the oral inferno but sadly i cannot abide. It is my only complaint as the salsa is usually in medium-hot edible range, for me. Awesome service and a short wait even when the line is long and tables packed. Gracias senoras y...
