i'll try...

setup is great. they share the kitchen w/ so long. good sized bar. good tv situation. similar number of available seats as so long, but longer and a little narrower it seemed. decor and everything is just great. very comfortable place to hang out.

three different salsas and around six different tacos. got the salsa sampler. one is w/ pineapple which i wasn't really feeling. to sugary, just did not like. the other two were ok. quickly glanced at the menu and ordered three tacos based on the meat and stuff and didn't pay attention to the fact that a couple of them came w/ the pineapple salsa on them. i'm sure you can get them to sub salsas and i'll do this when i go back next time. that part is my fault. also, only one shell instead of two so that by the time i got to my third taco it had soggied up the whole thing and fell completely apart when i tried to pick it up. no rice available which seemed a little odd. maybe not though. avg to less than avg beers on tap. tacos are all a different price which isn't bad necesarily, just weird when you see them on the menu and one is like 2.25 and the other is like 2.55. just make them all 2.50 and call it a day. has only been opened a week and it will do great especially when the weather is decent. the patio is just insanely nice.

i probably just had hopes up too high and really wanted some more basic ingrediants and tradional taste type options. i knew they'd do buffalo chicken and things like that but was hoping for other things as well i guess. it's ok and most people will probably really like.

Do Taco Snobs look down on people for getting soft tacos?

All the excitement I had to go to this place is now completely gone, thanks Daris.

REAL tacos come on soft corn tortillas.

I don't GAF what real anything comes in. if a taco is in a soft or hard shell and is good to me, it's good. if some place has a buffalo chicken taco and it's good to me, it's good. A lot of people need to quit caring about what is supposed to be good and start concentrating on what is good. unfortunately, sounds like this place may not be good

its ok. I probably had unreasonable expectations and that affected my opinion. I def didn't like it as much as I wanted to though. will try again. place inside and the patio are beyond great. food and drinks seemed v average. if.

maybe they just need to get their crap together. I still hold out hope.

i can't wait to try the honey mustard tacos

DQ12 · « **Reply #98 on:** November 23, 2011, 09:09:34 PM »

I like chicken tacos that are kind of spicy.

If they have those I'll probably really like Taco Lucha.

Honestly, I'm not surprised the food isn't very good. So Long's food is overrated, the quality of meat they use on their burgers is garbage. I think the ambiance is the main reason people like it.
