   Tomas was an awesome waiter. He was quick and helpful, offering to get us the 6 pack when we landed on 2 tacos each to save us a couple dollars. We said we were on a tight schedule and we were somehow in and out in maybe 40 mins total. Might have been 30. The tacos were also great. Al Pastor de Pollo and Carnitas killed. Tacos are overstuffed and therefore appropriately priced. Had to eat some of the eat out of them at first in order to pick up and eat. At the end when I said I was taking my guests to their first architecture boat tour, he shared his enthusiasm even after 10 years here and psyched them up. Thanks for a great quick meal.

   Very fun place to grab a delicious bite to eat on our way to Nederlander Theater. Quirky combinations of potato tacos and vegetable ones alongside the traditional chicken and beef for a fabulous Thursday night price. Upbeat vibe and the server was attentive and friendly

   They brought a wrong drink and wrong tacos. They didn’t have enough workers. The food was good. It was confusing that everything was on the same plate.

   We have a great experience. Our server recognized us from the week before and was very friendly. Got the pitcher of margs and chips and queso + guac to start. Everything was excellent. Ended with a steak quesadilla which was wonderful. We are making this our weekly margarita spot

   I was in town for a conference and our group decided to check out Broken English Taco Pub. The vibe was so fun. Colorful and lovely decor, super kind staff (we started in a table and then we asked and they moved us to a big plush booth once it opened up - they were very busy). Our waiter was full of character and we loved chatting with him here and there throughout the meal. Our food came quickly (large portions - we got the nachos as an appetizer for four people and it was gigantic - we could not finish it). Our dinners (tacos and quesadillas) was perfect. I would come back here again and again.

    I ordered the al pastor de pollo/chicken tacos and they were delicious! I would've loved some extra heat, but it was just enough spice to give great flavor. I came in for lunch on a weekday and it wasn't super crowded, the staff was very friendly and attentive. The vibes overall were great as the decor was very cute and the drinks were fantastic!
