Oh yeah, the other reviews mentioning that they are racist/unfriendly are VERY true lol. 😂I try not to speak Spanish at taquerias in general because of how ridiculously often non-Black Latinos like to “test” Afro-Latinos upon finding out we too can speak Spanish. But the lady running the register— who greeted me with the TIGHTEST lipped smile when I came in— asked me if I wanted cilantro in Spanish, & I responded by default in Spanish…. Big mistake! After that she made it a point to only speak very fast & very quietly, which had me leaning in & asking her to repeat herself with each question. It felt like she was trying to make a point to intentionally embarrass me, especially because she began smirking the rest of the time. Like tía quieres demostrar que no te entiendo pero en realidad NO PUEDO OÍRTE. 😂But that’s not all! A non-Black Latino family came in about 10 minutes after me, & I watched this same woman’s entire demeanor change. She was much friendlier, spoke in a normal tone at a normal pace, & she even walked their drinks out to them at their table <3 Meanwhile, not only did she not walk my drink out to me, but she forgot it altogether. When she brought my food she essentially TOSSED my bag at me & then I waited a moment thinking she was going back for my drink…. before I realized she wasn’t coming back & I had to go ask about it myself.As well, the other employee had to come up to the register for something while I stood there waiting for my drink to be prepared, & I began to greet him to be polite but stopped myself when I realized he was DETERMINED to pretend I wasn’t there at all.Anyways, I got 4 tacos of varying carnes & un agua de horchata— 5/5 quality, everything was hot, delicious, & generous. Came up to around $25.However, there are definitely NUMEROUS taquerias around town of the same quality that you can frequent without the side of anti-Black hostility. If you are Afro-Latino, African American, ANY type of Black, or just somebody who just thinks racism &/or weird customer service sucks, I personally suggest you take your money elsewhere.
