Update- I've now eaten in there a few times, service is always quick and freshly made. Several blue bunny ive cream options available. Including bunny tracks which is my favorite and hard to find. Called ahead and ordered to go. Ready in 5 minutes and perfectly made. Just became our favorite taco place. Meat wasn't dry, salsa was chunky and definitely tasted homemade. The chips were a little on the burnt side but hey that shows they make em. So I'm gonna chalk that up as not a big deal. Can't wait to go back.

I really wanted to give this place more stars, because their horchata was pretty darn good. The elote tasted and looked like canned corn. I haven't had much elote, but from my experience it's better on the cobb and I had different seasoning. (Both, my wife ordered) My dish had a lot of cilantro on it, I guess it's not what I was expecting. In their defense it also had what was probably over a pound of chicken? I couldn't really taste the chicken, but it looked good. I will not let one bad experience deter me from going back to improve and update my review, but again... I'm not sure what to expect. I did try to power my way to the bottom, and I do know that the lady would have corrected any issues I had with the food, so don't let my 3 stars deter you. Just be specific with your orders and I think, (from other people's reviews) that the food will be good. And by the way. Bring cash for a tip... I left mine on the card... wish I had cash because it would have been nice to tip that little girl who was helping out.
