Overall, the tornado family of restaurants are a gem to the city.
Green salsa is good and spicy. The red is mild enough for my beautiful wife.
Experience through takeout ordering and fulfillment needs work. I took a day or so to write This review because I was hangry during the moment I saw 5 tacos instead of the ordered 6 tacos (see photo with tacos and receipt)
After ordering 6 tacos and saying we wanted both salsas, we get to the window and the person asks, “4 tacos?” No 6... then we get the bag and see only 1 salsa. We need both.
Stickers that label the tacos with cheese or bacon etc are also often mislabeled.
At the end of the day I’m not eating service but the food. And the food is well above average when compared to all the other offerings around. Though the breakfast sausage taco is on the too salty side, but edible.
On the day of my hangriness, I would have rated this place 2 stars but my love for the food and price overpowered me from doing so. I suppose this is the kind of love of Jesus Christ can do in all of us to forgive others when we are...
Read moreWith all due respect and my honest opinion, with great regret and dissatisfied on the tacos and rice and beans I just had. The rice has to much seasoning and dry, the beans had no flavor I think it was made with water and salt. The potato taco with bacon had no flavor at all, might as well call them BLAND TACOS. My first time coming here but unfortunately it will be my last. The only thing I really like was the green salsa, very spicy but not too too spicy , props on the person who made it . Tacos need flavor ,eggs need more butter. In the back they have a place where you can sit and eat but unfortunately they are in the wrong business place. Next to a smelly bar and a massage parlor that cannot put their garbage in the container. Bad place to serve food around that kind of environment. It's ok but not something to go crazy for . From 1 to 10 I rate this a 6. I think the plate was too big to put just rice and beans and why did you wrap the tacos in foil inside a container? Not a good presentation. This is just my honest opinion and with all...
Read moreTornado Taco is the pure definition of love it or hate it. Under first impression, I thought that Tornado Taco was an amazing value. The tacos were loaded with bacon, tortillas were tasty, the amount of ingredients were just right.
After several further visits over the years, I realized that there is no consistency in quality here. The only thing that has been consistent visit after visit is their salsa verde.
Most of the time, the bacon is loaded but stuck together. The bacon is not crispy but chewy and dry. The tortillas leave a lot more to be desired. They aren't as bad as store quality, but they are nowhere near the deliciousness of homemade..
The amount of egg that I get in my taco is very inconsistent too. Sometimes there will be a sliver of egg, whereas other times there's so much egg that you could call the taco a burrito.
Their barbacoa used to be amazing. Now it is typically flavorless and dry. The lunch/dinner menu is absolutely terrible. Breakfast tacos are the only thing I've found...
