    This used to be a decent place, but I had lunch there on a Saturday several weeks ago and the food was about so bad it was a joke. My two vegan tacos amounted to a teaspoon of soggy black beans and corn that tasted like they came from a can. For $8. Somone else at the table had "fish" tacos that consisted of a few cold, hard, small nuggets of fried fish on damp tacos. At least the chips were good. Maybe they were having a bad day. I don't know why everybody thinks this place is cheap. I was shocked at the bill.

    Why do I keep going back? This location is consistently bad. The meats are always dry as if they've been sitting for days and reheated. Beef has connective tissue like rubber in most bites. Seriously a waste of money. Such a shame. Staff is good!
