Cold, charred meat of questionable origin
by MovedToReview
Almost puked while eating, seriously - and I'm not a complainer. I had low expectations but even they were exceeded - hopefully I won't be remembering this Unhappy Taco with food poisoning later.
Burrito consisted of cold, charred meat of questionable origin (didn't know chicken was a tough, pork-like charred meat).
It took over an hour to be delivered and then was missing 1 of the orders (which, after testing it, would've ended up in the garbage like the rest of the meal), but still got charged for it.
Since this "Mexican" restaurant is run by Chinese, they probably share the same rodent-meat source as a local low quality Chinese restaurant.
They probably make a living off of 1-time only orders by people willing to take a chance over cheap food. Don't do it!

So Cheap I can't believe it

This place is so cheap and the food is pretty decent. Order via seamless.

We ordered for our office, and we could not have made a worse decision. Although the order was for 6 people, it was incomplete, and the food was less than amazing. When calling to report the missing food, we were completely ignored. I recommed spending the extra dollar for Blockheads to get a quality taco, and a complete order.
- Pros: cheap
- Cons: Gross, Unreliable
Who are They?
by nyfoodcritic
Fresco Tortillas, Happy Tortilla, Fresh Taco...they all are the same restaurant, yet they each have different names. The only reason I can see for them doing this is because they know that their food is horrible, so maybe if every restaurant has a different name, people will be fooled into trying each one. I'm sorry but the chefs in the back need to stick to their own culture's cuisine.
