Taco's Tacos

Don’t order from this place. I placed an order for 2 birria tacos, 1 cow tongue taco, 1 shrimp taco and chips at guacamole. I called this order in at 8:10pm. When I got there and got my tacos I trusted they put everything in my bag, to my surprise, they didn’t. I was missing the sauce for the tacos and the meat on all tacos were really dry. At this point it was after 9pm and they were closed. I called the next day and the manager told me the owner would replace my order. They then called me back shortly to say the owner “changed his mind” and even though they know I picked up towards close, I have to “call immediately “.

So I’m usually not the one to leave reviews but this experience had me wanting to spin the block & let someone know about my experience && let me know if I’m tripping. So I came in to this establishment on Monday August 21, 2023. When I initially walked in, I was super excited because me & my friend were craving tacos; specifically the birrias. So I walked up to the counter the young lady there just stared at me. I began to ask some questions about the menu considering it was my first time there. I asked her about the Platillos Birria and she informed me that it wasn’t the actually Birria it was just the meat with the tortillas on the side. That’s not what I wanted. I was obviously looking for a meal/combo of some sort but she just answered my questions and stepped away as if she didn’t want to answer my questions. I was on the phone with my friend as I was ordering and he told me to just get some Birrias & tacos. So I ordered 4 Birrias tacos with cheese, 2 chicken tacos, side order of beans and rice & queso. My total was $32.80 which I thought was a great deal. I stepped out after I ordered to stand outside because I was on the phone with my friend. So the young lady that was behind the counter I walks over by the door as well & I politely asked her “Does the Birrias come with consumé?” She first said “yes” then corrected herself and said “actually no, you didn’t get the combo” I then asked “well what comes with the combo” She informed me that the combo is 3 Birria tacos & a consumé that’s it. So I asked “Oh what’s the price difference” She informs me that it was actually a dollar cheaper. I then ask “well how much is the consumé but itself?” She said “$2”. So I’m like “Okay, well since I ordered 4 Birrias could you just throw in the consumé because I didn’t know you all had a combo” She tells me “No, I can’t do that” && so now I’m confused because I’ve worked years in the service industry & know both sides to dealing with people and customers. For starters, she didn’t help much with the menu considering it was my first time there. She also didn’t offer any suggestions such as “Well since you’re getting 4 birrias, we have a combo with 3 birrias that includes the consumé” & overall to be honest she was giving weird hating vibes from the first moment I walked in but I was overriding it with kindness & politeness because again I know how working in the service industry can be. So all in all I ended up just asking for a refund because some things are just principle & business. && this experience with the young lady reflected bad business & lack of principles. Idk if I’ll be back but hopefully this could be a learning lesson for the overall business.

Delicious authentic Mexican food. This is the place I’ve been looking for. I had all of the below and they were all outstanding: Steak Tacos Al Pastor Tacos & Beef Nachos I don’t have pictures of my food because it was to delicious to pause and snap. The tacos come standard with Cilantro, Onion and Radish. I’ve never had radish on my tacos, but it was a surprisingly good addition. Also, if you order cheese on anything please note, it’s Fresco cheese or Mexican crumbling cheese. the texture of it is kind of like feta or ricotta. Not the usual stuff you’d get. But you can ask for mozzarella if you prefer that. The Fresco cheese that came on it was good though. Highly recommend.

We're originally from Los Angeles and know what authentic street tacos are all about. This is as close as we are able to find that's authentic. Great food, good prices and during Covid, they are very attentive with addressing these issues. We also go to another authentic taco place in Gainesville. However we love this location too. During those Covid times we do what we can to support local businesses. Highly recommend this place for good street tacos. Photos are carnitas (plain w/green salsa) and carne asada w/onions and cilantro.
