Good to know, i'll have to try it soon.

Just remember to ask for the "secret" or Chinese or other menu, if you want their more authentic/specialty options. This post from a different thread is helpful:

I've been rather quiet lately, so my apologies for that. I'll have some comments on recent threads to post shortly, but first I'd like to lob a question at y'all:

BEST PAD THAI? Who makes awesome Pad Thai in the ABQ metro area? What, in your evaluation, makes a good Pad Thai good? What makes BAD Pad Thai bad?

Thank you so much and hope everyone is having a great week.

Getting fed up in general with so many restaurants not being able to get simple orders correct, so much of the time.

I have had some uneven experiences lately.

I had to send back my two most recent Frontier plates for being undercooked; unmelted cheese in my enchiladas. They also stiffed me on an extra tortilla I had ordered in a to-go order.

Considering how often I eat there, It is probably insignificant, but all three of the above incidents occured in a two week period.

I think I like Taqueria Mexico even more now than I did before. The prices are much better than many places selling food that isn't even as good. The service is polite and friendly in a low-key way. Also, I don't think they've ever gotten any aspect of my order wrong. The taco shells do tend to fall apart if you aren't eating them immediately, so I think it's best to go with something else for takeout.

I finally got around to trying the tortas and they are good too, better than I'd expected.

The only thing that I've tried that really disappointed me was the milanesa. I had one of their chicharron burrito lately, which ended up being kind of oily, but I liked it when I had it as part of a breakfast burrito (and even the straight chicharron burrito was still okay--just definitely not something to be proud to tell your doctor you ate).
