Gonna have to try this before it's too late. Still can't understand how the Mexican food is so bad around here. I would think even a half way decent place would kill it around here. The Laredo was unbelievably bad and disappointing especially considering how much it costs compared to the good Mexican stuff. Need a new saying around here. Instead of where's the beef? Where's the burritos man?
What do you guys order that is good? I've been twice and it was ok both times but not what I was expecting. I used to love the steak tacos with corn tortillas at Cocos. Not so crazy about the same dish at Taqueria. I am open to trying again so any recommendations would be appreciated.
I like the mexican-style tacos. The other day we had chile rellenos and flautas. Both were good. BTW - the french fries are about as good as a french fry can get.
The flautas are very good!!!
But has there ever been one that actually had good food though? I think a good one would do well, it's just got to be better than this (*&^%^%)*** like Pepito's and Laredo serves up and calls food.
Sorry to be so harsh, but I get really emotional about Mexican food and that's one of the only dining weaknesses around here. Once you've had the really good stuff its hard to go back.

I love the Taqueria el Calentano. I've not really had authentic Mexican in Mexico to judge it by, but I do know that lots of Latinos in our area go there for those hard to find specialties like la lengua, cabeza, and menudo if that means anything. They say one family drives from Navarre every weekend for the soup. I love their chorizo which they make themselves (specifically the chorizo sandwich and their version of a Cubano). Love it!
OK, I feel like I am armed with inside info. I shall give it another try. Thanks
