3 /5 Henry Kim: I enjoy supporting mom & pop places, esp. local taquerias. I kinda got baited by the promise of $2 tacos, but caved in to the homemade tortilla upgrade.
The tortillas were ok but just slightly thicker than your standard corn tortilla used for street tacos. But I cant say it was worth 2x the cost at $4-5 each. I would have much preferred to just buy another street taco with the $2 extra. Plate was nice with all the fixings, plus radish & cucumber slices.
But with a water bottle, my $2 taco venture came out to be almost the same as a 3 taco plate with rice & beans elsewhere. Im still hungry...
the biggest criticism is that though the meats were very well marinated, cooked, tender & juicy...both tacos were extremely salty. Idk if its cos I havent had a taqueria taco in almost 4 months & forgot how salty they can be,or if this spot just happens to over season the meats.
Left feeling disappointed & not full.
Ill keep searching for other local OC spots. But when I drove past a few taco trucks with lines 10 deep, & pulled into a nearly empty lot & only 1 other customer, I should have trusted my gut & tried the taco truck instead.
At least the homemade salsas were nice & flavorful.
