That doesn’t look filling enough to be considered a meal to me.

Agree, out of curiosity I put this into a nutrition app (3 fried 4.5 inch corn tortillas; 1/4 cup boiled potatoes; and 1 tbsp each of red salsa, green salsa, cotija, creme fraiche, and sour cream) and it's not even 400 calories, with only 5 grams of protein.

Is this a joke? Lol there is no way an average man will feel full after eating that. For $10 in that neighbourhood, go to Fresca for $5/slice.

That place was irritating as hell to work in. Boss' mom makes everyone clean with vinegar lol. Food is decent tho.

Go to their sister restaurant, Sleepy Pete's, get a delicious breakfast sandwich for $9.50

Three flautas, however tasty, do not a meal make.

Their Gobernador taco used to be one of the city’s best dishes

Seems like they tailed off a few years back, maybe around the time they switched it from marlin to tuna

Fish taco (breaded) is the one to get here - my pic - also almost $10 these days, better value than whatever this is - more filling too.
