“What a treasure. My friend suggested it. They will continue to be my friend LOL. I gave them a three for atmosphere because the AC seemed to be having a hard time cooling this place. Of course there is a crazy heatwave right now. Keep in mind they have the big Molina section where they're making the tortillas and it's all open to the restaurant side so that probably added to the Heat. It wasn't uncomfortable just thought I'd give you a heads up. Let's start with the tortillas my friend is into corn tortillas so I thought I'd give them a try, always a good call with barbacoa. These tortillas are made in-house. You can see them making the tortillas right there. These are incredibly thin so much so that the taco had two of them wrapped around the meat, but let me tell you I'm not a fan of corn... I am now. The Barbacoa taco wa moist and juicy hardly any drip, just a bit of fat, but if you know me you know I believe that good meat always has fat, it's where the sabor comes from. Just don't eat it LOL. Carne guisada was not my favorite but I really like the brown gravy one this was a little more on the pinkish red side. The meat was flavored well and Incredibly tender but the gravy wasn't as thick as I'm used to. Now that said, they put it on one of their in-house made flour tortillas and that made up for everything LOL. Also tasted a beef fajita taco. Just a little bit on the chewy side but that flavor was incredible. This friend was not feeling it today so they just had a bean and cheese on corn. They said they really liked it and they will be back again for more. FYI there is a bakery adjacent. A lot of classic choices and a few choices that were more modern. Overall great service Friendly Smiles. And I bought a bag of the corn tortillas for chalupas. I always like that as a quick meal just throw some beans and cheese on and throw them in the microwave. The difference with these tortillas was that they actually held up while you put the beans on them, and then they held up even after I took them out of the microwave you could actually pick it up and eat it like the way we used to eat chalupas LOL. I had one of the tortillas by itself just to see if it was my imagination but it wasn't, that flavor worked for me. Will be back hopefully with a little more time and a little more space in the stomach LOL.”
