·                     The Food
    o                  Las Tortillas. Small corn tortillas, moist, soft and pliable, but crunchy edges. 3.
    o                  El Meat. We had Al pastor, Asada, Lengua, y Cabeza. Lengua was mild, and a little gooey. But the asada was fantastic, great flavor with a crunch. Cabeza was unexpectedly soft much like shredded beef. The al pastor had a reddish color, but was pleasantly fruity. Came with fried onions. 4
    o                  Los Toppings- typical radishes, cabbages, limas, cilantro, cebollas, y las salsas.  Fairly fresh, nothing gross, no flies, no brown cabbage parts. Not mushy at bottom. 3
    o                  Las Aguas. We tried the horchata, though they also had Jamica, and tamarindo. A little weak on the cinnamon, but very good. Ask for ice. 4.

·                     The Place
    o                  La Atmosphere. Felt like a hole in the wall sandwiched between a Mexican shoe shop and laser quest. Looks like a part of the Mexican community with many posters, advertisements, and newspapers. Also had classic novelas on the tele. Not heavily decorated. What art they had was nice, but meager. 2
    o                  La Traditionality. Wonderful food selection. Felt very real. Great hole in the wall. 4
    o                  El Price. Fantastico. 99¢ tacos are about as good as it gets. And even though they were cheap they were very good.  Even the horchata was reasonably priced. 5
    o                El Customer Service. Kind of a slow place which makes it more relaxed. A place where it would be easy to talk to the attendant. She spoke clear Spanish and it remains vague whether she spoke English. Friendly people but not pushy. 4
