My first time there was amazing I was like I have to come back to this place And I went back a month later and I'm so pleased and satisfied with the food the service the people that work there the environment they made my bowl exactly the way that I wanted it talk about being spoiled so delicious. I ate there by myself and was just so exciting I will definitely do it again and again thank you Tom tailgate you get a 10:10 100 percent Cynthia Love 💖
Awesome place with great food, quantity, and pricing. This is also the only spot I e been to that lets me build my own super fries which just made them that much better. Good tasted great, quality was great, and staff was friendly. Only downside i have with this place is their guac, I don't know if it's fresh but it sure doesn't seem like it.
What can I say. Great food with amazing and great customer service. I really like the soft taco plate with chicken. My Go To Brought a friend for his first time and he got some HUGE Burrito and said it was tasty. Tom stopped by our table and asked how we liked it and wanted to make sure everything was good as this was on Cinco De Mayo . Great awesome staff, atmosphere.and got our or very quickly Will be back again
One of my favorite spots in town. The super fries are well worth the price because the portions they give you last for about three separate meals! Also the meat is fantastic and with everything combined in the fries it makes a delicious meal. I would highly recommend this place if you want a lot of food for a good price.
I can't stop coming here, it hits the spot just about every time. The hard tacos are my favorite. They only come with shredded chicken or shredded beef. Both are great, but I actually prefer the chicken. Soft tacos are great too. As far as I can remember there's chicken, carne asada, shredded beef, carnitas, al pastor, and chorizo. These meats are available for the huge and filling puffy tacos. The burritos, fresh fried fries, and nachos are all tasty as well. Everything here is made like chipotle or Subway, so you can choose exactly what goes in all your items. Don't forget to ask for chips!
I truly love the food here — it’s always incredible, and that’s the reason we keep coming back. However, the customer service has been very inconsistent. In the past, some of the staff have had an attitude and haven’t been very friendly, which often makes us feel unwelcome. That said, during our most recent visit, we had a completely different experience thanks to Teresa. She was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and truly understands what great customer service looks like. Her attitude made a big difference, and I wish everyone had the same approach as she does. If the service were consistently like Teresa’s, we would come even more often. Great food plus great service makes all the difference.
Even though their outside lights were dim, they were busy with steady customers. Looks like a local favorite. There’s big screen tvs all over, playing sports. It was hard to decide what to get. I changed my mind a few times after seeing what others were ordering lol The taco plate comes with 3 tacos, rice and beans. They load up on toppings. Almost too much. It was hard to hold and eat. I would recommend having them put some of the toppings on top of the rice and beans so that see and taste more of what’s in the taco. Al Pastor, Shredded Beef and Chicken soft tacos were good. The bowl with Spanish rice and carne asada was good. Again, loaded with toppings. You can barely see the meat. I really liked the green sauce. Very tasty with a little kick. Make sure to add on top.
Have been a craving for a while. They offer lots of options from loaded fries, nachos, and other standard fare. They have also made changes inside with digital menu boards and a bar with several hi-top tables. I had the half order of nachos which is plenty. The chile verde and shredded beef with habanero salsa. Yum ! So why three stars you ask ? The service was slow. I am patient and understanding but when I see a suboptimal processes and then people standing while you have a customer line 15 deep. Well not good. My opinion they kind of need to define what experience they want customers to have. Maybe take the order and then run the orders to tables. I am glad they survived the pandemic and I like the quality, but just need to tighten up the experience.
I put special instructions for my order and they got nothing right plus one incorrect order. First I ordered a Full Size Nacho and they did it with French fries. Next I asked for both orders of Full Size Super Fries to have the Fries and guacamole to be put on the side. Only requested this because we were a hour away from home and didn’t want the fries to get soggy from the meat, do you think they did it, “No”! As I waited for my pick up order my daughter and I observed this older gentleman (islander descent) put on food service gloves and started working the food line, a couple minutes in he grabs for his underwear and pulls them up and continues to handle the food. 😳 Bruh, are you kidding me! In front of all the customers! At least replace the gloves 🧤. Food is delicious but service is lacking. I spent $100 and gave them a cash tip. I’m going to have to find another location
