Verdugo Market 8

This review is strictly for their little Mexican food stand they got going out front.We just moved in up the street and their pretty much busy every time we pass by, so we wanted to see what all the hype was about...It's a pretty nice and organized little set up considering it's all outdoors! Hot plates, a large griddle/grill, lots of condiments (Few different types of salsa, chopped onions and cilantro, pickled onions, and a few other things) with little cups and lids to pack them in. They even had a couple handcrafted beverages (horchatas and Jamaica's), and a couple of tables with a tent set up if you want to eat there.The cook was skilled and quick with our orders too! Very friendly guy!So, we got two chicken tacos, an asada burrito and a side of their beans.I also stocked up on some of that avocado salsa (super good and creamy), onions, pickled onions and cilantro, all was fresh! The cook got the chicken out of this cooler they have sitting right there, it's already cooked and seasoned and he just heats it up on the griddle/grill ... he pulled the asada out of this big hot plate bowl type of thing, it was marinating in some juice and super hot... He transferred that to the griddle grill and chopped it all up with one of those metal spatula things lol, he also got the rice for the burrito out of the cooler (already cooked and seasoned and just heated it up on the griddle grill)... after he assembled everything, he put it on plates with foil covering it as their to go container.Total was only 18$. So we get home and dig in... My chicken tacos were pretty good! Flavored nicely and tasted fresh, chicken was tender and I enjoyed it! 8/10The beans were Also pretty good, they were so creamy and a little chunky, weren't bland at all, super hot and he gave me a lot of them lol, so I was happy with them. 8/10Now the issue, my hubby's asada was SO FLAVORLESS!!! And was a bit too fatty (lots of chewy pieces he had to spit out)!! I bit his burrito and I was shocked because the meat is literally marinating in juice! It's like no one season the juice or meat!It was a huge burrito though, so my hubby ate half, (having to sprinkle salt and pepper literally on every bite just to give it some type of flavor!) and the next day, he ended up sauteing some onions, used the meat from the other half of the burrito and mixed that in with the sauteed onions, *SEASONED* it, then he cooked some fries and heated up some chili and made him some chili cheese asada fries and said it was much better! The burrito gets a 5/10 sadly.Maybe it was just an off day? Like I said their pretty much always crowded! So maybe we just came on a bad day?IDK.We MIGHT give them another go, but probably will avoid the asada next time!

After a recent remodel this place is fire. Lots of new and different booze items plus birria on weekends. They have a few cocktails with an actual glass. Lots of wine some moonshine and tremendous beer options. Wow. I plan to visit often.

They rip my husband, and son off every single time we shop there. They'll ask them what the prices are, and once they go pay they're charging them at least $5 more. They also refuse to give receipts. Sucks cause this store is within the block from my home. Save your money, and shop at the place across the street, where they'll actually give you a receipt.

Just ordered 12 tacos for there $1 taco tuesday 6 asada and 6 pastor both fire !! The pastor is on one of those rods rotating with a pineapple on top !!! Not to mention they have bomb green sauce with the avocado in it !!! The young boy and girl are super nice and friendly ! 5 stars def will be back
