on Citysearch May 04, 2007The prices keep on going up but the quality keeps going down. Now I can see how they afforded a new location. We used to love them- they had good tacos and were a good value- not any more. We just ate there and truly wish we... (more)

on Citysearch May 01, 2007The food is great, prices reasonable and nice atmosphere - of course it's busy! I don't care for the soft shell tacos, but I'm the only one I know who doesn't. (more)

on Citysearch Nov 02, 2006I've been eating here since the late 70's and it was great. The last couple years have been a disapointment. I used to go every Sunday, now I go maybe once every 6 months! The beef is usually so salty we can barely eat it,... (more)

on Citysearch Dec 04, 2005The place itself is nice. But the food is lacking. Extremely bland, both the beef and the chicken. The tacos I make at home have more flavor. Both the beef and chicken taste void of any seasoning whatsoever. I agree with... (more)
