4 /5 iMacOfDeath: Taco Salad, fun looking, messy meal.
Was told by my boss and a few coworkers that this was "the place" to get a taco, but Im not a huge taco fan so I went with a close relative, the taco salad. Its like a taco, just really big.
Ordered over the phone, this line is not great as they kept cutting out, but I was able to get everything I needed through. Went with the Taco Salad and the Chips with Queso, total coming to just over $24, not a bad deal at all.
Pick up was simple, though very business, I was hardly putting my signature down on the receipt when the receptionist returned to browsing her phone. Was kind of let down since she greeted me so warmly, but clearly its just business.
Back home I dug into everything and, at first, was very impressed. The salad was super meaty with refreshing bits of vegetable and guacamole, and the chips were salted nicely pairing super well with the slightly spicy queso. I say at first, because I found the shell of the taco salad to be sort of just a gimmick, as it was annoying to eat, makes a mess when you break it apart, and had no flavor to speak of itself. The salad also had too much meat and not enough veg, I went with Carnitas but man, I wish I had gone with chicken by the end. The chips after I had a few more started to reveal a burnt flavor, likely from the oil, either being fried too long or the oil in the fryer was old. Queso remained strong, but not strong enough to overcome the burnt chip flavor.
Overall, good price, on-off service, and ok food quality.
