Was really suprised, about the cooking and food taste, after passing this place for several months! I ordered two chicken soft tacos on flour tortillas, with everything on it, all for $7.00, with tax. When it came out, I opened only to salt the tacos. I loved the presentation of the sauteed serrano pepper, and onion. It came with salsa on it, but it had the dark salsa (The One That Is Really Hot,) which I ate on my two tacos. I will be going back!
