Critic's Review
It's been 5 years since the ROK:BRGR guy took over T-Mex and opened this place; since they're opening a big new place in the old Midici's space I thought I'd try it. Taco Tuesday and take out is the game these days, so I wouldn't have to sit on the lime green chairs in 90 degree weather. I was able to order tacos online ($3 each on Tuesdays), while using a fake name and fake email, without any problem. They don't have a "pay at the store" option, so plan on paying in advance. If they loser your order, to bad for you.
I got here at exactly 2:30 when the order was supposed to be ready, and it was. A hostess handed me the bag and I was out without even having to pay for parking.
Nice shopping bag; you just get some plasticware with the take-out tacos; no chips or salsa or hot sauce.
I don't usually order stuff with an egg on it, but I wanted to try the chorizo; I figured it might be like a breakfast taco. 3 tacos to a box.
The fish taco was mostly soggy and the sauce didn't add much taste. How can "Cilantro Garlic Aioli" have no taste?
It was a bit crispy at the end, but this was pretty ordinary. They have nothing on Arthur Treacher's.
The chorizo didn't really taste like chorizo; Mexican chorizo is almost always ground meat; this was supposed to be chorizo hash so I guess there was some potato here. Nothing really good about the chorizo.
One reason I ordered the chicken was that the online ordering menu says it has guacamole; but in fact it doesnt have guacamole. They seem to have removed it on their printed menu, but they didn't bother to change it online.
I think they forgot to drain the "Braised" chicken, because it just leaked all over the place as I tried to eat it. A bland, soggy taco for sure. Imagine marinating in adobo sauce for 24 hours and getting no taste?
The braised chicken tacos are too messy; I don't recommend these for take out.
Conclusion
The normal price for what I ordered was $14.50, which is utterly ridiculous. ($9.00 on Tuesdays). The reason I've never been here is that I knew it wouldn't be very good, and I was right. None of the tacos make me think that I want to try anything else.
