El Tizon Del Chef

I’ve been to all of the good taco stands in the area and this one is the best! The pastor taco was my favorite. The salsas were fresh and very well seasoned. My girlfriend’s family is from Mexico and she’s obviously spent a lot of time there. If she says it’s legit, it is. People need to quit posting reviews about delivery service items especially considering how bad traffic can be. You’re going to force these businesses to stop delivering all together. Some people just like to bitch, I guess.

Great food. The chef/​owner is kind, funny and very dedicated to his cooking
Ask about specials if they aren’t obviously on the menu/​board. He had amazing shrimp empanadas when we went. After he fried em, he cracked open the top and stuffed some guac, lettuce, mayo and… maybe pico in there. The shrimp were delicious… way better than your average low quality taqueria shrimp.
The tacos were great… his pastor with grilled pineapple is amazing and again it’s not the usual cherry-​red, artificially colored funky pork you get some places. The barbacoa is delicious as well. Tender, moist and fatty just like it should be.
He sampled us some great chips he had fried up made of some unidentified tropical tuber he had picked up at the market that day. Similar to a yucca or plantain chip but a bit lighter and more flavorful.
After we finished our meal, he also gave us each a chip with a taste of a red cabbage and jalapeño jam he had made for a previous fish taco special. It was perfectly sweet, spicy and purple.
The standards on the menu were all good and the specials have some creative touches that you don’t get at any old sloppy taco truck. This guy really knows and loves what he does.

Do not order delivery. It took 97 minutes when it should have taken 60, as the restaurant said it would. I only ordered 4 tacos and the place is only 5 minutes away according to Google Maps. The food was «okay» and when it got here it was barely warm.

I hate knocking anyone while they’re down, or just knocking businesses in general, but this place does warrant the 2 star review I am now writing.
I ordered food through a 3^rd party delivery app, and was specific in my requests. While I admire that they cared enough to heed to my requests for no tortillas, what bothered me was that the fajitas I ordered were supposed to include sour cream (they don’t offer free guacamole with fajitas as most other places do, but hey, there’s sour cream, so I thought). I received my dish with zero sour cream, and paid almost $ 2 extra to add salsa to this order filled with fajitas and tacos, and only got a handful of thimble-​sized salsas that I feel should have or would have been included anyway. The overall flavor was, I guess, decent, but not really up to par with any other local joint I’ve ever tried. As I did see another Unilocaler mention, and am in alliance with them on this, the food is bland and not at all flavorful. Overall, disappointing.

The beef fajitas are made of cheap thinly cut fatty pieces. The beans and rice are very bland. The tomatoes in the beans are clearly canned from the store. Everything is bland and not what you would expect from proper Mexican food. This place may want to move to the mid west were they’ve never had authentic Mexican food, but I’m a native Texan and I call bull shit on this place. I gave them 2 stars cause they delivered this shit to my door.

This guy’s food is mui bueno! I can’t say anything bad about it. Tacos are bomb, nachos are bomb, all of it is bomb! I eat here at least once a week!
