I went to Don Tommy’s for a late lunch. Location is great and vibe is good. I got some carbe asada street tacos and a fish street taco.Overall good food. The fish taco was ok.The red sauce is really tasty. Green sauce not great.

While this place is so cute and I have only heard good things, I was sorely disappointed in our visit. Not only were my tortillas undercooked, it was incorrect. The menu states $13.50 for the plate plus CORN tortillas. As someone that can’t have flour,...Read More

Their tortillas...man oh man. I dream of them sometimes. The stuff they put inside the tacos, burritos, and quesadillas are decent too, don't get me wrong. But you could put anything on that floury goodness and I'd be sold. I try to stop whenever I...Read More

The carnitas meat was ok but fatty, but way too many onions overpowered the carnitas flavor. I wanted less onions, but the guy just looked at me and didn’t really allow that option to happen. Also, the flower tortillas don’t taste like anything I’ve...Read More
