How is this legendary again?

by dmonkey301 at Citysearch

While there wasn't anything noticably terrible about this place and it had pretty fast service and plenty of seating, I really didn't enjoy it. I always hear great things about the legendary Taco Shack but from this experience I would say it's just Taco Cabana with a more limited (and less tasty) menu. I had the soft tacos with rice and beans and it just seemed as though everything had been dumped straight out of a can and assembled sloppily on my styrofoam plate. For the $11 I paid for my soft taco lunch plate, guacamole, and small drink I could have had a delicious sit down meal at much better Mexican food places and still had money for a nice tip. All in all it's bland but edible food that I would only try again simply because it's in walking distance of work.

  • Pros: Fast service
  • Cons: Bland food, easy to find a better value for better food elsewhere.
