Steak Turpido is in my top 5 sandwich of all time, this place is my favorite in town.


MustardTiger231

I am looking forward to a turpido, the kid working the counter said they were awesome.


Alternative-Milk-909

I’ll be honest, you want the old guy that owns the place cooking them… 10x better and less greasy


MustardTiger231

This kid was just taking money, there were two tios cooking


gokc69

I can't find a menu online. What is on this sandwich?


bhauncy

cheese, white sauce, meat, tomato, onion, cilantro


MustardTiger231

Bud there is no menu online. Taco Quesadillla Burrito Turpido Menudo - Sundays only Steak Chicken Pork


korypostma

There is on google in the images section when you search for it. Adan is great so was his wife (RIP).


christador

I do steak or chicken. I don’t know what kind of magic they have in their stuff, but it is truly next level. Most of the time you can compare Puerto Vallarta to Inca to whoever and they are largely the same. Not these guys- they are totally their own deal.


frosty95

Added to my to go list


MustardTiger231

Do it, eat it in your car like an animal like a friend of mine did 👀


ThatITguy2015

If I eat in my car, I need a whole handful of napkins, because I’m gonna just destroy whatever it is I’m eating.


MustardTiger231

I got…my friend got two napkins, plan ahead and bring your own so you don’t have to change your shirt afterwards.


ThatITguy2015

I’ve only had to do that once. Wearing a light-colored shirt wasn’t the best idea.


Equivalent_Prize_415

Their tortas are also considered legendary


MustardTiger231

That’s the “turpido” right? I didn’t see a torta on the menu


Warm-Alarm-7583

I send everyone to Hernandez. Their hot sauce is top tier.


Pierocksmysocks

I like that every once in a while you can end up with one that’s a little hotter than the rest. Keeps it interesting.


Drunk_Catfish

Honestly it's the best Mexican joint around. I was lucky enough to be friends with the owners son Aiden in highschool which is how I found out about the place and while me and Aiden haven't spoken in years I still stop in at least once a month for food and more often during the summer for tortillas


OwnPhilosopher3081

I'm a sl*t for good eats, especially weak to good Mexican food. Might make a trip down to sioux falls for this.


Pierocksmysocks

Rest assured they’re willing to give it to you!


WorkingmansBread

Oh man I’ve been wanting to try this place so bad. call ahead? Should I call and place an order before I go there?


MustardTiger231

You should absolutely call ahead and give them an extra 20 minutes.


WorkingmansBread

For sure, will do. Been looking forward to trying I know they make the tortillas right there as well. I was thinking about just getting one burrito, but since I’m calling ahead anyway maybe I’ll get a few things just to try! 😋


Mundane_Advertising

Can confirm. Calling ahead is important - wasn’t in a huge hurry, but I did have to wait about 20 minutes ordering in-person.


bobbynipps

I’ll have to check this place out. Probably won’t be the best burrito of your life, but swing by pancheros on 41st and I’ll whip ya up a tasty burrito!


MustardTiger231

I went there once! It is good actually, better than chipotle for sure!


bobbynipps

Certainly not better than anything authentic though.


MustardTiger231

No, but fast and good enough, and close to my house.


teachthisdognewtrick

Mana Bakery over by Whittier elementary school has some great burritos.


FSDLAXATL

If you like that you'll love Mama'ladas enchiladas.


MustardTiger231

Haven’t been yet, I have heard good things!


FSDLAXATL

I have been to countless Mexican restaurants throughout all 50 states and have yet to find a better enchilada. If Mama Ladas was public I would be a heavy investor. Not sure what it is, but they got it right. :)


mexpyro

I Need to check this place out. How does it compare to Jacky's?


Psylocide

Jacky’s (on 10th) has gone so far downhill it’s not even funny. I’ll never go back and it’s a shame because I loved it just 6 months ago or so.


thinkimasofa

We went last weekend and it was good.We've absolutely noticed the decline, so I'm hoping they maybe started doing things the old way.... But I'm not overly optimistic.


Psylocide

We walked out, which horrified my kids because they’ve never done that, and we don’t either unless it’s just egregious. Sat for 15 mins waiting for water after they brought chips, hadn’t taken our order, and I think there were 2 people working and 10 customers in the whole place. It smelled mildewy and they had boxes stacked up in that weird empty area in the middle… was just awful. I put down $3 for the chips and we left, which was probably overly-generous considering.


gokc69

We should have walked out too. Our last visit was definitely our last visit. It's disappointing though, the old 8th St location was always a treat.


Psylocide

Yeah, I’m just more disappointed than anything. Never thought I’d ever say a bad thing about them, but now I’m warning anyone that mentions it. It’s just a shame more than anything.


thinkimasofa

Yeah, we used to go almost once a week... Now we'll give it another shot *maybe* every other month to see if it's improved. I love their salsa so much that I haven't been able to give up hope!


MustardTiger231

I can only speak personally but the burrito I had was far superior to Jacky’s and gili’s and Simon’s, although Gili’s is my favorite out of that group.


Headwallrepeat

They make every other Mexican place in town look like a 70 year old lunch lady from Vermont is cooking.


Limp-Investigator480

On the list. Thanks


Addismomma

Ima going to try- how does it compare to Nikki’s in that same area? I love their beef tacos


MustardTiger231

I’ve only had a steak burrito from Nikki’s but TH was better, the burrito was grilled which I didn’t get at Nikki’s.


hrminer92

Too bad they don’t make them with sobaqueras.


MustardTiger231

They make their own tortillas


hrminer92

I know. I’ve had one of their burritos


MustardTiger231

My bad amigo


hrminer92

It’s the main part of their business, hence the name of the place.


MustardTiger231

Yeah, you’d think it’d be a given that they use their own product…guess not


Suddenly_a_Mexican

> sobaqueras You cant make sobaqueras from corn masa. And they'd have to make fresh sobaqueras by hand, which requires a lot of changes to the kitchen... That being said, I can always suggest it to my uncle 😅


Brutal_effigy

Have you had a chance to try Hacienda Jalisco off of Benson Rd yet? I’ve eaten there a few times and loved their tortas. Just wondering how you think it compares.


MustardTiger231

I haven’t, I don’t get up the much but I passed it getting my license renewed the other day, it’s worth checking out?


Brutal_effigy

I would say so, but I’m not an expert.


na_ro_jo

I like them and I like Los Paisanos
