Laredo Taco Company Inside Stripes at Hufsmith-Kuykendahl

I love Laredo Taco Company and stopped into this location for lunch the other day.  I ordered the Street Taco plate, which comes with four small tacos and two sides.  On this visit I noticed that they have Laredo Taco Company branded desserts, mostly parfaits.  I got a cookies-and-cream parfait to finish the meal.

They make the tortillas for the regular tacos fresh in the store, but the street taco tortillas are from a package.  They were fine but keep that in mind if you like the fresh ones, which I do.  I got beef fajita tacos, Mexican rice and refried beans.  The fajita beef was nice and tender, and the rice and beans were quite tasty.  The parfait is a huge portion, 10 oz. of pudding and cookies.  Not outstanding but just fine as a finish, you would want to share it with at least one other person.  Overall a good meal.

Service was something of an issue.  The server's English was not strong.  I am monolingual in English and consider that a liability.  I will do my best to come to an understanding with someone who doesn't speak English, but the server wasn't trying too hard to be helpful.  I didn't get to choose my proteins (you're supposed to be able to choose two) or my sides (there are many, and I would have chosen differently).  Stripes usually does better than this.

Same with the restroom--it was moderately dirty though not unusable, not as good as usual with Stripes.

They have a dining area that is reasonably inviting--even a TV for watching sports while you eat.  I had a Coke with the meal and the drink machine was working well.  Overall not bad.
