Taqueria El Pikudo

WOULD IT KILL THESE PEOPLE TO SMILE?
I really want to like this place. I really do. But every time I have come here, which is at least a dozen times, I get the most UNFRIENDLIEST SERVICE. No smiles, unpleasant, like they are doing you a favor to take your order and take your money. I hate giving people my money that don’t act like they welcome your business and they look unhappy.
My children like this place. And every time we come to the mall, I hope, I pray that they don’t want to come and eat at this place. Because the customer service here is just so PAINFUL.
But it’s the ONLY place that serves tacos/​burritos at the food court. I honestly think that’s the only reason they’re still there and still in business.
And our orders are simple. Usually just a bean burrito for my child. The last time we went there, two guys were behind the counter (the service from the women is worse). I asked the younger guy «What comes with the burrito kids meal?» He then took down my order for a kids meal. And I was not even ordering! I was asking a question. So they could really LISTEN BETTER to what the customer is asking for. And the bean burrito was over-​toasted on the outside, so my daughter didn’t want to eat it.
What a waste of five dollars.
So this place needs to provide better customer service. And not over-​toast the outside of burritos. There was only one other customer there who ordered ahead of me. And it took about ten-​fifteen minutes to get a bean burrito for a kid — way too long.
And employees, please, please SMILE and act like you are remotely happy to be there and treat your customers like their business is welcome.

Great food. Always eat here and always recive the best customer service and food quality

I’m always hesitant about taco shops cause I don’t like paying for mediocre food, but man I ordered some carne asada tacos and they were worth it. Plus the girl working there ‘Anna’ she was frendly and helpful. I don’t know about all the plates, but definitely those carne asada tacos, bomb. The tacos were also pretty meaty which is cool. Btw when it comes to Mexican food, I have high standards on what I find good.

This place has really good carne asada tacos — the meat is fresh and not rubbery or scraps. I got the 2 taco combo that comes with rice, beans, chips and a drink. Got my money’s worth — the tacos were stuffed and the rice and beans were pretty good too. Belly content. The customer service isn’t the friendliest but the food was good so they get a pass.

Ordered a Pastor burrito. It was stuffed full and had plenty of flavor. Not the best I’ve had, but really more than I expected from a mall food court. Friendly staff and acceptable prices. I will eat here again.

Probably the best taqueria I ever had at a mall… and the people were nice. Tacos are spicy but good.

best restaurant in west valley mall

I work in this mall, so I eat in this mall… food selections are pretty slim. ANYWHO,
Carne Asada tacos are THEE only thing that I eat here– after all, they’ll only set you back $ 1.25 each. Mini corn tortillas, meat, cilantro, onion, salsa. easy and it tastes good.
service here is OK.

Ordered their taco plate (al pastor) and was satisfied. They weren’t amazing, but the price was normal, and they were good enough that I’d go back and try something else on the menu.

Yummy carne asada tacos and burritos and delicious horchata! ‘Nuff said!

Located inside the mall.
I have definitely had better chicken taquitos. I probably won’t eat here again.

Someone should tell the Asian lady that makes the Mexican food their that FOOD SHOULD HAVE FLAVOR! I ordered the flantas meal it had rice, refried bean three rolled tacos with sour cream and cheese on top. The rice had no flavor at all and the bean tasted watered down. I took two bites of the rolled tacos and stopped eating them. Oh yeah the soda was flat too.

Went here a few days a go and had the chicken nachos, someone else had ordered them before me and looked good. When I got them they were lacking everything they had almost no beans (beans are the cheapest thing there is why not load them with beans) meat almost none but there was plenty of chips in the bottom probably 95% of the plate was abundant with chips. I asked the person at the counter an Asian lady for salsa and she gave me a tiny little container of salsa I was eating nachos not just a single taco.
In conclusion I will not go back, this place is not good the flavor was not there friendly service just very stingy when it came to the food.

This mall spot just opened in place of the previous taqueria at the West Valley Mall. Driving through town on the way to parts unknown I was looking for some food and stumbled upon this place while looking for other Unilocal possibles that turned out to be closed.
Unfortunately that happens too often these days :-(
(the closed part, not the lucky find part)
Having only been open 15 days under new ownership, the food here is B+ or better. I’d come back again if I’m in the area.
Prices are good, food is good, they have Aguas Frescas… and mall parking…
:-)
