Okay for Children: Yes - it was counter service, nothing special
Okay for Couples: Yes, again, nothing special, although when we were there,
it was cool and quiet, and could have been quite romantic :-)
Be Sure to Try: Empanada plate got excellent reviews from my husband - and
it came with a generous helping of black beans and rice - very filling.
General tips: We went during probably one of the busiest times of the year,
but when we went to lunch here at 11:15, there was only one other family at
a table. There are plenty of tables here, so going at an off time gives you
the option of dining inside or out. It was bright and breezy, so we ate
outside.
Dollarless tips: We actually threw away one whole taco and most of the
stuffing out of another, so I would definitely say if you are going to get
the Taco plate, you might split the two tacos between two people. My
daughters easily could have shared a taco plate - it comes with two tacos -
so I would not order a kids meal in the future. They also stuff the tacos
full with lettuce and cheese (there was tomato, but not much), and they are
bigger than what you might be used to at Taco Bell, so one might really be
enough for an adult also.
Extra Comments: The tacos here were not very flavorful, so definitely add
the sauce at the condiment bar. You can choose mild or hot, but they really
did need something. Also, because the meat was kind of bland and the tacos
were so stuffed with lettuce and cheese, the meat kind of got lost. My
daughter ended up taking everything off of her taco and eating just the
meat.
