Another Taco Tuesday, another taco spot! This time it's located near downtown. I was craving some California-style tacos, especially the crunchy ones with the spicy red chili arbol sauce. But, to be honest, they didn't taste quite the same. These tacos have more of a local El Paso flavor. I noticed a lot of police officers, people on lunch dates, and workers enjoying their meals and taking advantage of the lunch specials. This place is definitely a favorite among locals who work nearby. I almost ordered the Albondigas special because I was in the mood for some soup on this cold day. Good thing I asked because it turns out the Albondigas meatballs are served dry, not as a soup. Just a heads up! Instead, I went for the chicken tacos, and they were decent. However, I wish the salsa had more flavor. Maybe I'll have to plan a trip to California to satisfy my salsa cravings. On the bright side, their soup is really tasty, and they serve generous portions. I had to take some home because I couldn't finish it all. One thing that surprised me was the charge of 50 cents for a styrofoam box. I didn't notice it mentioned anywhere before, so that caught me off guard. Also, they charge extra for using a card, so it's better to bring cash if you can. Total came out closer to $15 without tip vs the $12 advertised. Overall, I'm not sure if I would go out of my way to visit this place again, but I'm glad it's here locally. They have a spacious parking area, and the Mexican food has that comforting homestyle taste. -TODOELPASO
