Quick take: this place is good.
Best item: chicharron tacos
We went two weekends in a row, would have probably been sooner if it weren’t so far. I forgot to get the prices, will have that next time. Definitely good enough for repeat visits. Last time time we had the nachos, get it with the chicken, you won’t regret that.
This time we got these nacho fries, still good, but the ketchup and mustard threw us off a bit. Also the nachos portion is bigger.
Last time we got asada, jackfruit, chicken, chicharron, carnitas tacos. This time we only got chicharron because they are that good.
This street corn is juicy and flavorful. Not too spicy either. Would definitely get it again.
Ratings:
Hipster 1: 6.75/10 – overall good, but could have more seasoning and salsa could be better
Hipster 2: 7/10 – certain items are really good, will re-rate when we have tried other items
