Downtown Taqueria

No nonsense tex-mex food. No Nachos, but they have brunch. The small restaurant is located in the basement level of the building. An extensive list of rules including no pillow sized burritos and not nachos makes clear they mean business when it comes to a Mexican style food. If only they lived up to expectations. Not bad, but with all the fuss they make about no nonsense Mexican food, they should be better.
