The key to a successful business: be nice.
(Delicious food and cleanliness help too.)
But nobody needs to tell that to these guys. This taqueria operates on the principle that you can go anywhere to eat, but the attitude of the staff will bring you back here, and the food speaks for itself. We agree! This location is relatively new and they are already talking about opening another one. They are popular!
My husband and I came in for dinner on a monday night and even though only one family was in line ahead of us, we had our food started before we reached the register. I ordered a fish taco and a shrimp taco and my husband had 5 carnitas soft tacos. We snacked on chips while we waited for our meals. I like thin, crispy chips better than the traditional thick ones they serve here, but at least their hot salsa had a kick to it. Their salsas weren't labeled and the hot one is in the middle - be warned: it's hot!
The food came out quickly and my tacos were beautiful. They had a creamy sauce on top that I'll probably request them without next time, but the fish was lightly fried and tender, and the shrimp were delightfully seasoned. Fresh lettuce and tomato on top of my crispy taco. Not at all greasy - I felt particularly healthy (minus the creamy sauce).
Husband's carnitas weren't cooked well-done, like he'd requested. He wanted crispy pieces, but still finished his plate and left saying that he'd found his new favorite Mexican plate. Both our meals with two large bottles of Coke were just under $20.
Before we left we were offered a sample of a smoky pork dish with a salsa verde marinade. Delicious!! We'll definitely be back.
