Pastor Eduardo Soto Cinto 2 month ago

"Se extrañaba mucho el sabor de unos taquitos al pastor en carbon. Muy buen servicio pero como buenos tacos al carbón debemos tener la paciencia de esperar a que la carne esté cocida en el trompo. Por lo que les recomiendo a la clientela y a los taqueros que tengan la paciencia para que esa carne alcance la cocción necesaria. Que bueno que volvieron."

"Los tacos están ricos, el único detalle es que a veces le dan prioridad a otras personas que llegan después por ser conocidos, por encima del que llegó antes."

"100% al carbón. Nada de plancha. Muy rica la salsa y muy económicos. No te desesperes vale la maldita pena."

"Estos tacos son icónicos en la ciudad, sin embargo aún falta mejorar aspectos del servicio, principalmente los tiempos de espera y espacio para comer, el sabor de la carne es muy bueno, la salsa es adecuada, solo recomendaría que mejorará su tiempo de espera ya que para dos órdenes tarde más de 20 minutos mientras despachaban a alguien más probablemente no fue mucho pero tienen un punto de mejora"
