I didn’t think it was bad, but the wife wanted to go one star, no vegetarian options. Lard in the beans, bummer. But my individual tacos were a deal, like $2.50 to $3 ea and pretty tasty. And she made me a pretty strong house margarita four bucks. Not bad middle of the road tonight.

Delicious yet unassuming place. Not that u would know but seems quite authentic. The menudo was amazing and at 9 the place turned into a karaoke bar.

Prices of the beer have gone up significantly.. They’re $7 now, when they were $5. I understand some of the food pierces going up lately. It’s becoming not worth driving there now.
