Ortiz #2 is the best take out taco shop in town. They have slowly but surely surpassed riggs and cotijas (the other two within a few blocks) with their quality and consistency. The prices are super low, they should charge more but they don't. I don't even get beef tacos anywhere else in town except here, I didn't even like them anywhere before Ortiz. They're too good. Many of my friends have stopped getting regular latenight Mexican food solely because Ortiz isn't open latenight during the week (yet). We shift our entire life schedules to make it before they close. Now we double down before 11 during the week. Everything is good here that I've tried, and they have a lot of menu items you don't see at most taco shops. I would typically get the beef taco (bc they're the best there, both the meat and the shell), a bean and cheese burrito (fundamentalist mf movement), and sometimes the carne asada quesadilla which has the meat to cheese and tortilla ratio that you WISH carne asada burritos had.

It definitely wasn't fresh. There was a lot of tartar sauce or something similar inside. Not like the sauce you would normally taste. In addition to the filling not being great, there wasn't that much of it. The ends of the burrito were all tortilla. I would have loved to give this place a great review because we had high hopes. When you order a fish burrito in PB, you have a certain expectation. This one was...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreHorrible service. First, I ordered three rolled tacos and they gave me two which I found out after I got home. And they overcharged me by $4 to my credit card account which I also found out at home. Then, I checked the receipt, and they gave me the receipt for someone else for a different total from what I was charged. I called the store and was told there's nothing they can do. Now, I can't dispute the charge either with the credit card company because they want the receipt for what I was charged and the restaurant won't do anything to...
