Macho Tacos is cheaper, but you get what you pay for. Only reason I would still go to Macho is for Taco Tuesday. I've never tried the nachos, but I have seen them and I have no desire to try them. I usually make my own, but their guac and pico are solid. You can buy them as well as packaged tortillas, which is cool. Overall, Twinkeyz tacos are solid, but overpriced, which kinda defeats the purpose of eating tacos because tacos are supposed to be cheap street food. Gourmet tacos makes no sense to me.....LEFTYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-81053226966970605422016-10-18T19:57:18.836+08:002016-10-18T19:57:18.836+08:00This place was not good at all.

We ordered the shrimp, grilled fish, a few street tacos and korean fries. The shrimp and grilled fish came in a tortilla without any fillings, so I asked why wasn’t any cabbage or lettuce, he just said, that’s how it’s made here. The street tacos were skimpy but it had some onions on top. No chips, just some black beans and a side of salsa. The korean fries were good, just really expensive. I get that this is TW, Mexican is hard to come by but if you’re gonna charge 150 for a taco, make it right, make it good.<br /><br />I was shocked to b this disappointed bc their Facebook reviews were outstanding. Too good to b true, going back to Macho tacos.

Thank for your comment and sharing you...Hey Kelsey! Thank for your comment and sharing your experience.. I haven't been back lately and it does sound different than my experience. I suppose they should ask the customer if they would like chips and salsa vs rice and beans. Was there a taco sampler of some kind? I thought prices were a bit high in the first place. Sorry to hear it didn't fit your taco cravings ☹️joanhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17843619464189692369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-84242442888403148542016-10-16T14:35:26.359+08:002016-10-16T14:35:26.359+08:00Hey, Hungry Girl!

I went just last night (Saturday night) with three other people and had an absolutely terrible experience. It seems a lot has changed about the place since you visited. The prices, which you noted, have definitely increased. But, the menu has also changed and no longer includes chips and salsa with the tacos. The tacos are now served with a VERY small portion of (cold) rice and beans; however, there was no mention of this anywhere in the restaurant or when we ordered. When we asked why, they brought us chips and salsa but said the menu had changed. We also received floor tortillas instead of corn, but didn't bother to ask why. Furthermore, our tacos took 30 minutes to arrive at our table and they all came out very staggered. By the time the fourth person got their food, the first person was finished. The restaurant was not at all busy; there were 5 other diners when we arrived, so this wasn't due to busyness. Anyway, my group and I had high hopes after reading your blog, but were severely disappointed in this place. Not your fault, but worth noting that in case you go back (or even for anyone visiting for the first time), don't expect much. We all left still hungry and very unhappy!

If I want to eat Mexican I will go to Macho which isn't far from this place or The Corner which is very close to this spot.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14277482.post-54051479242200462252016-06-04T19:58:05.194+08:002016-06-04T19:58:05.194+08:00Looks good!
