Yummy!

by sprkl

Yummy, yummy, yummy! I visited Taco Sal for the first time about one year ago. Since then, I have been going in about once a week. The food is always fresh and reminds me of my mom's cooking. In comparison to other local New Mexican restaurants, the prices are very reasonable and the servings are beyond plentiful. If you are craving green chile, I highly recommend the tortilla burger smothered in green. If you prefer red, they have the best carne adovada stuffed sopaipilla in town. The owners and managers seem to take pride in their business and really make an effort to make their customers feel welcome. Oh, and don't forget to try the sopaipilla bites....delicious!!

HORRIBLE

by mistrav

For around eight dollars a plate you might expect to get more food on your plate. When our plates came the beans looked like they'd been baked dry from sitting under the heat lamp so long. The taco shells were almost burnt. Potato chunks were deep fried and undercooked. We didn't complain until the bill came we were charged $2.75 a piece for EMPTY extra plates. We complained and the manager agreed that our server should have told us...but no discount. DON'T GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Cons: Way overpriced and food sat under the heat lamp

Bad News

by LoraBee

My family has frequented Taco Sal for over 20 years. It was a right of passage to bring visitors, friends and family to our favorite "secret". Since they have changed hands the food is ridiculously overpriced, less food, and not nearly as good as before. The last straw is when the refused to accept a gift certificate, because they insinuated that the previous owners were giving out gift certificates to everyone. Not worth my time, money, nor taste buds. Stay away from Taco Sal, it is not what it was, and very disappointing.

• Pros: Cleaner than it was
• Cons: Lacks color, staff is too hurried, food is not good for the price, none of the details of previous 2 owners.
