Food has always been good until today! Tacos locos shells were not cooked! Missing food. Called to have them remake with exchange and they REFUSED. Will not be patronizing this restaurant in the future. Over $100.00 order. UPDATE:Still have not received refund I was promised for 9 Locos tacos and 1 taco I did not receive!

The O.G. tacos were bomb, especially the 3 fat shrimp taco with a fresh coleslaw.

It hurts me greatly to rate a Tex-Mex establishment lowly, so I will explain my rating in depth. The short version of it though is that the food taste is 2 stars, but the presentation of it along with the service quality / quickness adds a star for sure. Ive heard nothing but its overpriced, dont go there from everyone I know whos tried Grab N Go so Ive stayed away from it for a long time but I finally decided to not heed the warnings and try it myself twice in a row in order to form my own opinion on it. Well start with the tortillas.. oh the poor, little flour tortillas. We got a stack of breakfast tacos and the tortillas were so sticky and dough-y that some of the tacos tore apart when just pulling them away from each other (they were bean & cheeses so it wasnt grease from beef causing this or anything).. and the taste is just not there. I feel like Mission or other grocery store brands somehow have more taste to them. Moving onto the other ingredients. The chicken and shrimp are great! The marinade they use for the fajita meat is actually wonderful and the dense, savory taste that should be there is absolutely present with a hint of citrus to round it out to a fully achieved, good quality fajita style. The steak was un-cuttable though, and was one of the worst cases of stringy, non-chewable beef Ive ever encountered. I understand some people love the steak cuts that are almost nothing but stringy & tough with fat so I guess thats just how it goes at this specific establishment. Its worth saying that the best taco I had was the taco al adobo with fried avocado. As for the refried beans how did you guys achieve getting refried pinto beans to taste like water? I dont get it, there HAS to be some level of lard and salt used to achieve the viscosity required to create refries, but it tastes like this is a powdered mix that was rehydrated or something. The texture doesnt insinuate that it was rehydrated powder, but the taste is almost straight out of an MRE its so bland. The sauces are similarly bland. Theres literally no spice, hot or otherwise in the roja and both that and the verde sauce were pretty watered down. They may as well be like pouring tasteless tomato or avocado mixed with water onto your taco. Nothing to say about the other ingredients other than the guacamole being completely bland and forgettable. Definitely dont pay extra to get it added or anything, its one of those guacamoles that youll try, then frown and think was this canned or something?. Onto the presentation, which is what bumps the rating of this place up! Regardless of all the ingredients (aside from the fajita meats) tasting like theyve been flown in from New York City, the workers here know how to make them LOOK amazing! When you get a tray of their tacos from the main lineup, they give Torchys a run for their money with making them look phenomenally prepared- its just SUCH a shame that 80% of the ingredients taste like water. The taste is probably juuuuuuuuuust enough to make someone from the midwest or other regions of the world who have only ever had their local renditions of Tex-Mex before go hmm, this is kinda good!. But for anyone whose an in-state Tex-Mex connoisseur (or for anyone whos even been to the city of San Antonio before), youre going to cry tears of disappointment after taking your first bite of these tacos and none of their sauces will help the situation. I didnt even touch on price because for under $4, the main taco sizes really arent that big of a problem compared to most other places anymore. But, the breakfast tacos like bean & cheeses being over $2 is an absolute crime for the size offered and the taste present. I dont know whats going on with this place being able to stay open. There must be juuust enough rich out-of-staters moving into the area mixed with others who absolutely despise any spice in their food around to support them. Vegetarian options: The protein is replaceable in all dishes and the fried avocado is kind of good! Not better than literally anyone elses rendition of fried avocado chunks (theyre too small, too burnt, and too bland here), but, good enough for the price.
