TPK’S Tacos — Restaurant in Visalia

First seeing the logo I was like "this should be good!" The menu has enough of the simplicity that is needed right now. "Tacos, Burritos, etc. I should've tried the tacos first, but my tradition is, "always try the asada burrito first." I know it'll be my "go to" meal, if it don't fit the "Burrito Standards" it gets a "no go", Unfortunately as of "right now it's gonna be a "no go" for me. The burrito started out "ok" but once I lifted it and felt the extreme softness from all the beans sitting in the belly of the tortilla, I kind of knew what road we were on with this one, the "all filler, no thrills"; meaning more beans then meat, rice or even the cilantro/onion mix. I don't mind beans in a burrito, you miss the texture and flavor without it, but too much of it, can just make a burrito a "hot mess". The green sauce from here is good, the red sauce is even better! It'll burn your eyebrows off, make you regret it later kind of sauce! But it would definitely kick up the flavor of the somewhat bland and fatty meat I received in my "filler burrito". Would I give them another go? Maybe... but as of right now "I'll stick with my...

I am a frequent customer because of the food and service. Up to this point, everything i've gotten here was bomb! I ordered a wet burrito like I always do However, my last visit, I actually paid attention to them making my food, and needless to say, I was shocked. The young man pulled rice in a bag out of the microwave and started scooping into my burrito, then my burrito sat there for a few min, and a young lady came from the back w/ a small tiny pot and proceeded to start stirring. Im assuming It was the sauce from Chili Verde. Then she poured it on my burrito. When I got home and opened my food up. The sauce was extremely watered down and had no flavor. She poured so much, and it was thin im assuming from watering it down to make it stretch. Now, the burrito was soggy. I was underwhelmed by this experience @ TPK. I'm gonna take a break from going there as the food customer service is starting to lack. I would've preferred for them to tell me they were out of sauce then to terrorize the whole burrito. Now, I'm concerned for food storage, temperature, and dates & times after watching them this...

I would have taken a picture but it was gone too quick. Ordered carne asada burritos, which were seriously amazing. Meat was perfect tasted fresh, not over cooked like it was made yesterday and reheated. Beans and rice inside were perfectly balanced in portion and taste. Ordered with no onions, which they got right and is always appreciated. Tortilla reminded me of my nana’s homemade tortillas and were so soft!! It was a pleasant surprise. I don’t know of any other Mexican spot with tortillas as good. Also ordered a Birria quesadilla which was awesome!!!!!! Scarfed it down so fast I didn’t have a chance to let my significant other have a taste lol. Also ordered a fish taco, and my only complaint is that I wasn’t a fan of the sauce they used on it. It was fresh and soft, but the sauce over powered it, next time I would just order with no sauce and se lemon on mine instead and I think it would have been perfect. My new favorite spot. I haven’t been back to Visalia in 15 years, but now I know my go to spot for our next...
