We live up on the Northwest part of town and basically have no options for "street" style tacos. Even though Taqueria El Tizon isn't really NW, I wouldn't say driving here from any part of town would be worth it. Like others have mentioned, they do have good pricing but that's where the good stops. My son and I ordered 7 tacos to share, 5 of them were al pastor. This was easily the driest meat I've ever gotten at a taco shop. I could have dealt with the dryness if it at least had some flavor. It was lacking flavor completely and the fixings didn't help in any way. Neither the onion or cilanto were fresh and the pineapple was definitely sitting out for a long time. For the other tacos, we went with carne asada which seemed to get okay reviews and that's exactly what they are...okay. The meat was nowhere near as dry as the al pastor but still basically flavorless. They also top them with beans, onions and cilantro. Just like the other tacos, the fixings were far from fresh and the beans were just about as dry as the meat. I was close to giving this two stars because of the carne asada but the service was terrible and this restaurant is friggin nasty. There's trash all over the floor, the salsa bar was a disaster and none of the tables were clean. Then to top it off, when the cashier/waitress brought out our food, she dropped a whole piece of my wifes quesadilla on the dirty table then just left it there. Accidents happen, no biggie. But to just leave it on the table is stupid and is exactly why the restaurant is so dirty. She just didn't care...and I don't care to ever come back!

Disappointing experience because of the very long wait and the fact that the price was quite high for the quality of the food. I was there as part of a pretty large groupe (about 30-40 people). It seemed to be the perfect place for that: they have a large room that can fit several large groups (there was another table there with about 15-20 people), away from smaller parties. However, it seems like they did not have the staff required for all those people. It took about 90 minutes just to order the food!! it was a Saturday night, and we had a reservation, so there is no reason to be so short on staff. The meats tasted OK, but I it was definitely overpriced. On a more positive note, the staff was nice and polite, and of course you get the little Brazilian dance show to create a fun ambiance towards the end of the night, which many people in the groupe appreciated. That being said, I will not go back and I will not recommend this place to my friends. The person who organized the birthday party there said she regretted she picked that place.

Went here on a weeknight at 6:30PM for dinner. A good crowd but tables were available. There is a bar area and there is also outside seating. Waitstaff was friendly and did a good job. Menu has standard tavern fare: burgers, sandwiches, salads. Quality seems pretty good. The atmosphere is nice, too; sporty with lots of memorabilia adorning the walls and customer-written graffiti on the walls and chalkboards but not in a chain-restaurant-flair sort of way. I had a buffalo chicken wrap, which was good. Unfortunately, the side item that was included with my meal cost me an extra $1.75 because it was the fruit cup instead of other sides such asfries, tater tots,
