Taqueria Invicto — Restaurant in Maine Township

I got the Cali burrito with steak, rice and beans, and the horchata cold brew. I also tried all of the available salsas. I think a big part of my poor review is expectation based so I'll start there.

I went during their promotion day (free taco entree) and the best thing there were the employees. All of them so kind, welcoming, and helpful with such great attitudes. The tacos, rice, and beans aren’t anything too special (coming from an authentic Mexican #notengoelnopalenlafrente.) Being a new opened location in town it was very cute inside and good vibes. I think if I was drunk and hungry I would hit this place up, but to say I’d go here for...
