Las Tunas

Reviews & Tips

  As I was driving down main street I decided to stop into Las Tunas for a breakfast burrito at about 7:30 in the morning, they had a sign by the door that said free coffee with breakfast burrito between 7-9 AM so i thought that would be a great deal.
  
  Upon walking in I was informed that they were not cooking food right now and would not serve me.
  
  I was appalled by their service and was forced to leave with an empty stomach, even after reading the sign. Don't open your shop if your not willing to serve food.
  
  I will not be back and will refer people to los faroles, el pique, or el taco grande instead depending on their location.

  I haven't been back, but last week my mother tried to use our remaining groupon here. She was told they only take groupon vouchers on mondays now, which is ridiculous and a violation of the original agreement. I've contacted groupon and asked for a refund.
  
  Will not be patronizing this place again.

  Bought a groupon here and apparently they only take it on Mondays! Nice to know I spent money for a place like that. That's bad business and I will never go there, and tell others never to go there. I manage a restaurant and I would never be apart of that scam!

  I've traveled to Mexico several times and enjoy trying authentic food while traveling.  I often hit up food carts for quick bites that are inexpensive.  I tried Las Tunas a few days ago and I honestly felt like I had been transported to Mexico and was eating authentic Mexican from a food cart vendor.  I tried the Pupusas, Tamales, and Huarache. The Pupusas were my favorite and amongst the best I've had anywhere.  The Tamales were also very good.  The Huarache while good, could've been seasoned just a bit more, but adding some of the homemade salsa verde did the trick just fine.  
  The food was served hot and with a smile.  In response to reviewers that have said the service was slow.  It's because the food was made fresh, not pre-cooked like you'll find at several places around town.  For me at least, I'll hit this place up in the future and gladly pay $3 for a fresh and delicious Pupusa or $1.50 Tamale.

  Had a craving for a taco. I went to this restaurant when it was owned by another family. I stopped going when they started to not carry half the food on the menu. These are new owners and I saw a grand opening sign. Decided it was worth a shot.
  
     I entered the restaurant to see that they had done little in decoration since the last owners, but that doesn't matter to me. I was greeted warmly and shown a menu. Tge menu was a bit cumbersome to read, and could stand to be rearranged. I ordered some carne Assad tacos. They were prepared by a woman in the kitchen( in full view of the counter) after a short wait of 5 minutes my dinner was brought to me. I got these to go. When I got home, I sat down at the table, opened the coke I had purchased there, and proceeded to eat.
  
       The tacos were good. Two small corn tortoises warmed on a flat top, with a portion of meat, onions, and cilantro. Alone these made an ok taco. There was wedges of lime on the side that gave a citrus kick to these. The taco's also came with an orange salsa that was a liquid purée with habaneros giving it heat. I would recommend  you don't over do the salsa due to it's liquid nature, to much will run out and make a mess. A medium heat level for the salsa, and very tasty. I would recommend this to someone craving a decent street style taco.

  We bought a Groupon for here and decided too come in and try out this new restaurant that has only been open for about a month.
  Our first attempt 2 weeks ago to use our groupon failed because they were out of chicken.
  I ordered the Chicken Huaraches and a chicken taco.
  The Huarache was $4.50 and the taco was $1.25
  The Huarache had beans, chicken, sour cream, lettuce, tomatoe and cotija cheese on it. It was DELICIOUS!
  The taco was 2 small corn tortillas topped with flavorful chicken, onions and cilantro with a wedge of lime for added taste.
  The hot sauce, both red and green were far too spicy for me so my taco was rather dry.
  I also ordered the homemade Horchata. The horchata comes in a small 16oz plastic cup 3/4 filled with ice. The Horchata was delicious and I quickly found out that my $1.50 horchata was NON REFILLABLE!!! The horchata was good..but not worth the price without a refill. I would suggest that a sign be placed up to notify customers of this, as the people behind us made the same mistake as me.
  
  Overall the food was good but was rather expensive.
