"As someone who used to be a frequent flyer to this restaurant from 2009 to 2015 I?m going to try to be exact in this review here on my revisit in 2022. The new location is nice with all the parking however I never really found parking to be an issue before. As others stated it is hard to see where to order from the road/ parking area. A simple sign would be tremendous help here. The new location seems like it?s the side or back area of someone?s house instead of a hole in the wall restaurant like before. I wonder if there?s some financial issues behind the scenes as to why they had to change locations. We ordered several different meats and only their bbq beef seemed fit for human consumption. The other meats seemed spoiled and smelled like they had just scooped it off the road hours prior where it was probably was closer to a servable temperature. It?s really hard not to use humor to cope as I loved this restaurant so much when it was downtown. I?m not even sure if it was changing locations that bent this restaurant over or if it?s a lack of qualified help or maybe something such as employee burn out but it was a truly tragic experience this evening. Maybe this experience was because it was 2 hours before closing on a Friday and they are not open on weekends. (Not to say that the employees were not entertaining to chat with or helpful) the saving grace of this place was the familiarity and well met expectations of the tried and true taquilia lime fries and sauce. I feel like a different restaurant murdered this one and is now wearing its skin and has moved to a new location. It?s also worth noting that we had planned to eat there but ended eating back at the hotel as the 3 bbq covered tiny tables just didn?t seem like an enjoyable experience."
