Reviews
If you're local, you know about CRG food spots. This ain't one to miss!! Affordable bowls, tacos, or nachos will leave you feeling full and with leftovers. The value of this place (and Fresh Kitchen) cannot be understated! FANTASTICO news- the value comes with great quality! A lot of exclamation points because you need to eat here if you haven't. Highlights include: Bases- Mexican Spice rice is my favorite, but greens and other rices are good. The noodles have a good flavor and are worth trying if you get 2 bases. Veggies- the best broccoli of your life fried with buffalo avocado sauce. I could eat a bucket of the stuff. Protein- I'm a sucker for a nice charred and grilled chicken. Therefore, the ancho chicken is my favorite! Mexi things- I really enjoy the corn salad. The plant based queso is good for everyone. The chargrilled pineapple salsa shouldn't be missed. I've had their guac once or twice, but I would suggest getting it as a side and using your choice on something else. Sauce- the Guac sauce is my favorite. I would say they're all good, but on this visit the sweet roasted corn sauce had a mustardy taste- not for me. Last, but NOT least. Their chips!!!! Salsa is good just like the guac, but these chips are so fresh and hot! Better than a majority of Mexican restaurant chips. Do not forget to grab a bag with your meal! Sidenote: I got chicken tenders for the kiddo which were nice and fresh. Environment is like an indoor taco stand with classically polite and prompt counter service (a CRG standard).
Taco dirty is a quick service Tex-Mex inspired quick service restaurant. If you go, you have to try the buffalo cauliflower! It's so yummy!
If you like tacos and want variety, go here. It's set up like Chipotle where you create your own taco or bowl. Since I came after 2pm for a late lunch, it was only $8 for three tacos. They have fried corn and flour tortillas and many options from veggies to meats and lots of toppings. The roasted corn sauce paired nicely with my tacos. They have margaritas, desserts, and a more fancy soda fountain. There's inside and outdoor seating.
I came here for a yelp elite event, but it was so good that I came back a week later and brought a friend!! The food here is incredible and every item is delicious. You get a really good amount of food for you money as well. The ambiance is nice, though the seats are slightly uncomfortable. The service is super quick and everyone is helpful! I will definitely be coming back many more times.
The customer service was great! We sampled the spicy broccoli and were told about the Happy Hour deals. The restaurant was clean, gloves were on. Fresh items were being prepared. We ordered the $8 tacos (3) and the sauces were perfect. Lots of vegetarian options and even some vegan ones! My favorite was the broccoli taco and husband's was chipotle lime chicken. They have natural sodas too! Our favorite was the pineapple cream.
