I was sent from work to the area and went to LaLa Taqueria for lunch. I ordered 2 tacos: a special (shrimp) and a fish taco. Knowing I had a limit for my lunch (given by my company) I stayed within the budget I had. Same did my other coworkers. We requested separate checks because we couldn’t go over what each of us receive for lunch (to prevent a fine for going over using the company card) and even though i swiped my card and saw the total I was being charged, two days later I got a notification that I was charged more money that what I was shown on the credit card machine (when clearly I didn’t sign for the extra amount, but I did sign for the correct amount within my budget!).

Both of my tacos were a little too spicy for me to comfortably eat (admittedly I am a supertaster) and if I return, I will make sure to order them with the sauces on the side - as that is what made them so spicy (habanero crema is dangerous). Service was lightning fast and the butternut quesadilla is an unexpected and sweeter entree I recommend dipping in the salsa rojo, as theirs is almost BBQ-esque. They have really wacky "saint" candles you can buy with Anthony Bourdain, ET, Bowie, etc. I believe they also use la milpa tortillas as well, which is a huge point in...
