This tacqueria went in where Tamales Con Cafe used to be. I stopped in
for "brunch" tacos the other day. I had a barbacoa taco, a sausage and
egg taco, and a bistek (chopped beef) taco, and a cup of coffee. Took a
couple of salsa to try with them.
I was served by very sweet
folks that appear to be a family working together. The coffee is just
caffeine delivery, nothing special. The barbacoa taco was tasty and
squishy as it should be. I have to say that I found the sausage and egg
and bistec tacos a bit dry.
The homemade salsas were the most
interesting. The hot one appears to be made from habaneros, and has a
serious kick--if you get irritated by "hot" salsas that aren't really
hot, this is your choice. The milder one was good but not exceptional.
The
single bathroom was clean but lacked towels. The decor is not quite
finished--appetizing colors but no pictures. No surprise for a very new
family-run place.
Overall, it's fine but didn't make me want to drive out of my way to go back. There are now four casual Mexican options at Kuykendahl and Dowdell, including three tacquerias--Los Tamales, El Rey Regio (grilled chicken), Tacos Puro Guererro (food truck) and Flying Taco (just opened, will review next month). Similar businesses don't always hurt each other, but you have to have a reason to go to one over the other. I wish these folks well, but I haven't seen or had the menu item that makes them stand out. For me, Tony's Street Tacos and Laredo Taco Company are still the best.
