I love the new look. The outside area is now inside! It's all open like it was pre-Covid. The folks working were kind and helpful. I just have one complaint, the chimi sauce wasn't included and the cheese enchiladas are smaller. Other than that, it's so much better. Love and care are back at Taco Casa!
