Los Burritos Tapatios Restaurant

I haven't been here in some time, but I felt the urge to write a review anyway.

Back when I used to be dropped from the night shift early (around 11pm/12 am), I would sometimes swing by here on the way home. It's as genuine as Mexican food as you can get; makes me feel ashamed that I used to go to the Taco Bell close by. I had no idea this place was open so late until I saw a bunch of cars out in front and all the lights were on.

Because of the late hours, there is a security guard at the door. But he doesn't bother me; if anything, I'm comforted that the employer gives a hoot about safety in the area.

My staple has been the chicken burrito meal. It's not bursting with flavor, but it tastes homemade and is very filling. Oftentimes I just eat half and save the other for later. The horchata is very good, but it disturbed me a little when I watched it being ladled out of a dirty white industrial bucket stored in the fridge.

So its usually hit or miss, the steak tacos are ok if ur drunk looking for tacos open late but the steak can sometimes be rubbery wich is a big turn off for me...

I can literally see this place from my house.  Now that I say that out loud, I wonder why I don't go more often!!

They have really, really good food for prices that aren't ridiculous.  This ain't your normal taco bell, here, people.  Honestly, it's probably cheaper than TB, but I digress.

My friend picked this up for us one night on her way over.  She said it took FOR.EV.ER to get the food, and it wasn't that busy.  That's a double-edged sword.  Because on the one hand, if you're just there on your lunch break for a quick meal, it might not be as quick as you need it to be.  However, it's easy to see how freshly the food is prepared--I would rather have that than something that isn't as fresh and sloppily put together.

I ordered a taco salad and a torta with the breaded steak.  The torta was ok--it served its purpose, but I really enjoyed the taco salad.  Everything was so fresh and well done.  The shell that it came in was really great--it was flaky but not greasy and it held all of the ingredients in well.

I also tasted my friend's chicken taco, and it was SO good.  The chicken was even better than you would expect.  It was like pulled chicken.  YUM!

I will definitely be back over and over :)
