Abuelito's Street Tacos — Restaurant in Texas

I was looking for some authentic Mexican street food closer to home (rather than traveling to the Garibaldi Bazaar) and gave this place a try. Ordered 3 meals, 3 drinks, and the order came out to a whopping $40+. Red flag number 1. Authentic Mexican street food NEVER costs that much. I thought, what the heck, maybe it tastes THAT GOOD. Nope. The beans tasted like ones you would eat at a BBQ restaurant, the rice while it had good texture was flavorless, and the tacos were just ok. Not something worth $40+. I though ok, the platters were a major miss but man I would love some corn. 2nd trip and try I go and the corn is $5.50 and my immediate reaction was, “this cup must be giant.” I wait about 10 minutes for the corn after ordering, was the only person in line,(at the Garibaldi it would take max 2 minutes to order and have it prepared) and see a mid size cup when prepared. The same size at the Garibaldi would have cost me $1.75 and would have been generous in terms of toppings. Unfortunately, at this place the corn was mostly butter and had very little cheese and definitely not worth the $5.50. All in all, I would never recommend this...

First, I want to say the food here is delicious! Its hard to find good Mexican food in this area.

Though the service is horrible. We placed a phone order yesterday for takeout. When I arrived, the girl at the front asked my name, grabbed my order, opened up every box to check and then rang me up. (note: you have to ask for a receipt as they do not offer one if you dont). I got home to realize my order was completely wrong. The front desk girl I guess just pretended to check my order. I had to drive back up there to return that order and pick up my correct order. The girl at the front was rude, wouldnt look me in the eye, and seemed annoyed that I was there at all. There were 2 other people in line who had received incorrect orders.

Also, 2 times before this we ordered takeout via the UberEats app. Let me just tell you, they do NOT check these orders until you arrive to pick it up and they say "we havent started on that yet, please wait" which totally defeats the purpose of ordering ahead. Very frustrating. The girl at the front desk is rude and obviously doesnt want...

First off. Im a california transplant. I dont miss the politics or taxes, but i do miss my tacos. I tried over 10 places so far and i have found the best one. The barbacoa. Its little bit above average. Moist n flavorful. The Al pastor was above average in meat quality and flavor. Slightly dry but not a deal killer. The flavor n texture made this exceptional. The beef/steak. Wow. The best one so far. Reminds me of albertacos in orange county ca. But this one has better meat quality. Now I wish they had carne asada fries but ill have to mention this to the owner for a special order lol. The beef was flavorful and tender. To top it all off the beans they give on the plate are so good. Its addicting. I never really care for beans until today. This is a local gem. I hope they stick around for years to come. ...
