The best Mexican food I’ve ever had. Steak fajitas, tacos, it’s just the best. We go back to this place all the time.

Taco Temple
@americanenglishpodcast
We really wanted to love this place bc the vibe was good. Fish taco was amazing, the salad was great, but we ordered 3 steak tacos (one for everyone in our group) and they all went into the trash. The meat was cooked wrong and they were sort of sweet. The cheese was rubbery. Sooo weird.
