Okay, first things first, this place closes at 7pm on Tuesdays.
Yeah.
So we basically had to scarf it down. But it was some of the most delicious scarfing I have ever done.
It's a tiny place, only a few tables, but I like the bright colors. This taco place is known for it's breakfast tacos! Which is exciting. I love me a good breakfast taco. Currently I get mine at Taco Bell (Hello, Breakfast Quesalupa) however, it might be nice to get one that was less processed. Thrillist recommended the Machacha Breakfast Taco (eggs, machacha beef pickled jalapenos, cilantro avocado, queso fresco) so I ordered that one, even though the first breakfast taco on the menu (chorizo, potatoes, queso fresco, pico de gallo) looked more appealing to me. This was my one and only mistake... and it was a bit of a big one.
I also got a steak and a pastor and they were truly truly stupendous that made up for the breakfast taco that just wasn't my thing. Don't get me wrong - I could tell this breakfast taco was made very well... there was just too much going on for my specific taste.
The other tacos though? Awesome, very well seasoned, delicious. Highly recommend. Fellow taco connoisseur and ride or die babe, Sara Seibt, and I will go back to try the other breakfast taco someday. We pinky promise.
