Breakfast Bacon, Egg & Cheese Quesadillas
This dish was pretty bland. Very little bacon comes through and the salsa it's served with packs no punch. Would not order it again.

Pork Al Pastor Tacos
Always delicious. I put a damp paper towel with the tortillas, wrapped them all into a foil packet, heated everything in the oven. Perfect!

Guajillo Beef and Cheese Enchiladas
Maybe this was the one missing the hot sauce. I can't remember. It was good.

Butter Chicken Empanadas
The best empanadas I've ever had, and the spiced ranch is so good I want a massive bottle of it

Beef Tinga Tacos
Meat was a bit fatty. Overall tasted good but just average still in my book
