Mencionan algunos que falta la cebolla y cilantro pero ya viene incluida en la salsa,no se que le pongan a sus tacos que no la ven,es parte d su identidad,hoy fui y la salsa era roja,aunque también me ha tocado la salsa verde que también está buena,puedes pedir por tacos o por kilo,además que tiene kekas de chicharrón y sesos

La carne se percibe sin tanta grasa lo cual para mí es bueno, ya que no puedo comer tantas grasas. Sin embargo las tortillas se rompían muy rápido y la salsa no picaba. Creo que puede ser de mejora que la salsa este más picosa y las tortillas menos húmedas. Saludos
