Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Personally, i'd say that this is the best taco/burrito joint in the area so far. I've had trouble finding one that I really liked since I moved here. I've been here twice so far for taco's and they were great both times. I've tried all 4 of the meats (chicken, pork, steak, and ground beef) on the taco's and liked all of them. The steak is probably my least favorite due to having some chunks of fat in it, but that goes with the territory. As for the service itself, they need to smile more and be happy about their business. I was not treated rudely and didn't have any problems. I just didn't feel like they were happy/excited about their newly opened business. Smile people! I'll be happy to keep coming back as long as the food stays good though. ;) Oh, and take note, this place is in the far back corner of this shopping center. I'm always on the lookout for new Mexican places and didn't even notice this place for a month. =========== Update: So, they are getting better. They smile more, they have two sauces now (at least they did last week), and, for a short time, they had Coke in a glass bottle (continue that and add Pepsi in a glass bottle i'll be extra happy).

OK, let me see if I can shed some light on this place. I was an avid fan of the non-regulares tortas (among other items) at Tortas Locas #1, but it was a bit of distance for me to go for pick-up. I was delighted to see #2 open up just a few minutes away! So, I finally went here today... At first, I was disappointed in the menu selection they have currently. I asked them why it was so cut down compared to the other location, and clearly tailored to Americans? (Only 4 kinds of meat (steak, chicken, pastor and ground beef if I recall), tacos, burritos, 4 regular tortas, chimichanga, etc etc.) I asked about the customer-base, and other questions. What I found out was that they started out with the "american basics" or most popular items to build up a customer base, and plan on adding more items the menu as they grow. Customers are overwhelmingly American at this time, and it made sense, but I said that it's a shame they do this because what they offer isn't really the best of what they have to offer - to me, it's really tailored Americanized Mexican - and they are alienating the potential Mexican/.Latin customer. I also found out that location #1 will not be the same if I go back because they hired new cooks to take over for the long-time cook who moved to location #2 (which is great news for #2, not so for #1.) So, after a bit of chatting, I managed to order a cubana torta (not on the menu) and an horchata. The horchata was quite tasty, with a nice blend of flavors and it had a french vanilla ice cream-like taste to it. Hard to detail, but quite good...maybe one of the better ones in the area actually. (Unfortunately, the cubana torta didn't yet make it to the printed menu. They said they tried to put it on their blackboard special, but only sold about 4 during the week. Another interesting note is they said that most customer will order tacos with lettuce and tomatoes and stuff. I said ewwww, and looked at him puzzled. So, to help their customers try it the way it really should be, they have a current taco special with cilantro and onion.) Back to the food, and the torta was great. If you read my lengthy review of location #1 then you will understand that I'm not a fan of the "normal" torta with beans and lettuce and all that stuff in it. Especially if you come to a place that names itself after a food item...I'm a firm believer that you better give that thing a try! So, my cubana had perfectly toasted bread which held together the wonderful mess inside. The filling consisted of milenesa, homemade(!) chorizo, slice of ham, tomato, maybe a slice of avocado, onion slices and cheese. (no sausage or hot dog, but it was probably better. I was so hungry I forgot to look at it before I started eating. I even forgot to add some salsa!) Regardless, it was very tasty and definitely hit the spot - maybe more so than it used to be. The chorizo hit it out of the park for sure!

I got the cheese enchiladas and while they were decently good, they were way way too spicy for me and I had to douse them in sour cream. I am a wimp though.My boy friend got 4 tacos and he said he was glad he got 4 cause they were tiny. Nearly of us were that excited, I may try something else if I do go back.

Excellent steak burrito. My only complaint was it got a little greasy at the end and i could've used a little more hot sauce. The steak in the burrito is very tender and moist. The rice was rich and buttery. Refried beans and lettuce make a nice finish.

The meat has no taste and was just reheated. The beans are bland and so was the rice. Will not return. Also overpriced.

Finally tried this little "hole in the wall". Very friendly and helpful service as we entered the restaurant. The woman at the counter suggested a build your own burrito or the Mexican tacos special. We went with the tacos (steak). The chips and salsa were fine, chips were nice and warm and the salsa was spicy but a little one-dimensional. Next the tacos...delicious! The meat was nicely cooked and the corn taco shells were tasty with a great texture. The topping were fresh and flavorful and the house salsa went perfectly on the tacos (better than alone with the chips). The rice and beans were great, too! We will be back to this little taco shop... Maybe to try the tortas next?!

I sent my 2 teen age girls in to pick up some tacos since I've been trying to find a taco place close to home. I love hole in the wall places but this on this occasion I think I might stop going to them. First let me comment on service, Daughters were treated rudely. Its bad enough they felt uncomfortable because they dont speak Spanish but to hear my daughters bf complain they were really rude than I'm positive the rudeness wasn't imagined. 2nd they got me 3 tacos carne asado con cebolla y cilantro Nada mas. Once sauce made it in the bag, I'm used to 2 sauce :-) but no problem. Here comes the problem..... The meat was salty, I was chewing so much fat(rubber) that I had to keep spitting out the food. From 3 tacos it basicly was 1 1/2 I ate. Im not sure if this is a common occurrence there but I Dont have that at other Taquierias. I honestly wished it was good since it was so close to home but guess I'll still to the Irving park ones.

Don't go!!! I am an avid hole in the wall Mexican restaurant goer and this place is terrible.... $7.70 for burrito with barely any steak in it with rice n beans... Bland and fatty. I would advise going to El rodeo tacos.. It's def the best Mexican food around here.
