Best KPortal Reviews

Sorry but this place is not good. This was a carne asada torta, it had like 4 or 5 tiny pieces of carne asada.
I’m from the south side. Never been in this area. So I had to check out some north side tacos. The reviews from here are from years ago so I thought maybe I’d give this place a shot.
It was junky, and ratty inside. But I didn’t care cause that’s usually those spots have the best tacos. The tacos were 5 dollars per taco ????
The taco dinner was 16 dollars!!!!
I was thinking these must be the best tacos how expensive they are. My favorite part is the attitude I immediately got from the twin behind the counter. She had the worst attitude, and was being sassy, to the point I almost walked out. And I really should have. But I was thinking maybe these are some really good tacos for the attitude I’m getting. I shoulda have left. My food came out hot! A plus. But My food was nasty. Beans were watery, The rice was dried out and plain. The tacos!!!! The tortillas weren’t fresh. The tacos had so much fat in them. I constantly had to spit out a piece of fat. There was no seasoning on the meat. No flavor no salt. Best part is the sauce they gave me was slightly opened and spilled all over the bottom of my bag. Which I do kinda feel like it was done on purpose. I wasn’t even given salsa verde. And them tacos need salsa so bad. After my couple of bites and I couldn’t take it anymore, my stomach was upset. I was so gassy. Bleh ????
What’s more upsetting was there was about 7 different taco places on the street, let alone there was 3 different taco places in the parking lot. Waste of my money.
If you come to south side you get rice beans and 3 tacos, with Escabeche, green and red salsa. For 12 dollars and you get all that with no attitude from some young twins taking your order.
This restaurant is the worst you could go. I had a burrito and the meat was not cook at all. I ordered a order of shrimp for my girlfriend and her food was really greasy. I had to pay 43 dollars and we didn’t even eat, we got up and paid and left and still got charged. Never experienced something like this. I recommend all of you not to go here at all.
It breaks my heart to post a 1-star review for a mom and pop shop but it’s warranted unfortunately in this case.
The problem started from the moment we arrived at the restaurant, the lady running the front end as the waiter/register wasn’t wearing a mask. She would go from table to table without wearing one or by the registers when ringing out customers.
Next problem was the food, again falling on the same lady. Never wrote our order down, causing lots of mistakes on our orders. I asked for my torta to have no beans or no ice on my horchata... yet still got it like that. Another friend asked for chicken and got carne asada again.
Unfortunately, this place has lost my business and we will not be returning.
Purchase a half chicken . Taco dinner . Burrito. Had a horrible experience. Steak was all fat. Chicken was hard and taste was awful. And burrito was so crunchy and no taste with fat !
I wondered why the place was empty on a Sunday. They still messed up my order and remade it. Price didn't match the menu. 4.99 for each regular torta but charged 5.50. Neither did the ingredients. No avocado which was listed. Just a whole bunch of mayo and a little meat. Not good. Also i thought it was kind of bizarre the teen working the register there was wearing a see through shirt with a black bra.
Wait time was a bit long but food was amazing. I was stunned when I first tried a bit of my food!
Worst Mexican food ever. Waitress didnt know what cabeza was, barbacoa was tough and bland. Platillo de chicharrones en salsa verde was bland and small portions.
I swear good Mexican food should never be pricey and this place is definitely overpriced. Put some of the profit into learning how to season your food and cleaning your restaurant.
