The parking lot looks dingy and there is outside construction going on to the outside of the building. Once indoors however the restaurant has an updated new feeling to the decor. The floors and seating areas are clean. It was a light crowd this evening, singles and a few families were scattered throughout the establishment. We waited briefly until our waitstaff brought out menus. I ordered a Tecate, I never remembered them tasting like a tin can and little flat.

I ordered a shredded beef burrito, which came with re-fried beans and a salad. My guest ordered the mini chicken tacos. We also ordered a Taco Soup.

Our plates arrived and everything looked delicious.

The Taco Soup alone is a meal. There was la generous service of chicken and avocados . It was very delicious.

I tried my burrito and realized it was shredded chicken and not beef. I said to my guest, “This order is not correct, this is Chicken” They replied, “you always order a shredded beef burrito.” Sad that I would eat it anyway but would mention the order was wrong.

When the wait staff came by and asked how everything was, I told her I would eat the burrito but the order was wrong. She gave me a fake smile and said, “No you ordered Chicken, I am sure of this,” as if I was trying to get away with something. This irritated me as I told her I intended to each the Chicken Burrito anyway. What was the point of being right if I already told her I was eating it anyway, why not just apologize; she needed to be right.

We were almost finished when she passed by, my wife asked for a to-go box. It was obvious we had quit a bit of food. She returned several minutes later with a single small styrofoam container and left. We continued to eat what we could when my wife said, “ we are going to need more than this one little container.” We continued to wait for our waitstaff to return, she never did. At this point we were both growing restless. I went myself and found two more containers and returned to the table. We packed up what we wanted to take home and continued to wait for the check.

I went up front to see if there was a “pay at the register sign; nothing”; we continued to wait. It had to have been another 10 minutes of waiting before my wife gathered the boxes and went to the register, helping herself to a plastic bag.

I finally went up and said we were at table 25 but still had no ticket. The person at the counter said, that will be xx.xx, “is that a credit card or cash” He was surprised when my wife said, “can we see the receipt first, generally I like to know what I’m paying” He gave us the receipt to which everything and only what we ordered was accounted.

This is a nice little Taqueria but the service is terrible, at least with the woman waiting on our table. There were two other tables that came after we arrived and they had come and gone already before we were finally released. Another table to the side of us also complained their order was wrong and had a similar problem as we did in regards to prompt service and an incorrect menu item. Needless to say I left only a 10% tip on my card and felt no guilt whatsoever.

I might return for the food as it’s near to where we are temporarily staying, but would insist on someone else waiting on our booth.
