Traditional Steak Tampiqueña Plate
Meat did not taste good and weird texture. Rice was ok. Sauce on cheese enchilada too spicy.

Very bland and fatty

Grilled Shrimp & Marinara Risotto
This was great. Not a huge serving but it was very filling and delicious. Will definitely add to my favorites.

Tlacualli's Fajita Steak & Cheese Tacos
I’d try again. I tried the oven directions and it was ok. I struggled with heating of the tortillas on the stove. The meat also was not very warm even with 10 minutes. And the meat was not cut fully.

Slow-Roasted Pork Carnitas Quesadillas
The pork had an aftertaste. Needs to be marinated.

Thought this tasted really good. Especially the green sauce made it all taste wonderful. Will get this one again.

Slow-Roasted Pork Carnitas Quesadillas
Unfortunately the lids were off the two cups and it all got spilled out and mixed which made the tortilla very soggy. Meal had some good flavors but didn't care for the pork. Would prefer chicken.
