America's Taco Shop likes to call itself the \"Home of the Greatest Carne Asada\".  The original restaurant on 7th Street, use to include \"in the Valley\" but I guess they're thinking bigger now, which is good.\n\nIn some Mexican restaurants, ambiance is everything.  Here it's just one more thing that makes you want to come back and enjoy their fresh food!  This restaurant is hard not to like.  When you come in, you feel as if you left a beach in Mexico (see photos), or SoCal. There are hardwood floors and a surfer feel to it.\n\nWhat can I say?  In America's Taco Shop, it's all about the Carne Asade!  \n\nWhether you order the Burrito, or the Quesadillas, what you will get is a home made flour tortilla filled with flavor,  We ordered both, along with their Trio of Tortilla chips, Salsa and Guacomole, and a soft drink and a Horchata.  If you haven't tried a horchata drink, try it here.  It's a mixture of rice milk and cinnamon with a hint of vanilla, and it's out of this world.\n\nThe food came out piece meal, with the chip Trio coming first.  The salsa had a little kick to it, but it wasn't too spicy.  The guacamole was tasty and well mixed, not chunky as in some places.  Just as we were starting to make a dent, out came the rest of the food.  \n\nThe tortillas on the quesadilla and burrito were both flaky and fresh.  There was a fair amount of pico de gallo and guacomole, along with some caramelized onions that mixed well with the carne asada.  Each did not overwhelm the other and it produced  a nice layering effect.  Very tasty!\n\nThe bill came to around $22 bucks, including tax and a couple bucks for the tip jar.  As we were leaving, we noticed that they had the Mexican delicacy of corn on the cob, brushed with mayo, cotija cheese and served on a stick.  \n\nWow!  Horchata and fresh corn, what does that tell you about how authentic a Mexican restaurant America's Taco Shop is?\n\nKeep in mind that ATS has a Happy Hour which runs M-F from 3-6pm and all day Saturday and Sunday -- which has many items for $1, $2, and $3, including a 16 oz. Margaita, as well as a Tres Amigos Tequila for $3.00.  You can also sign up for their eClub and get their Trio for free.\n\nWe left stuffed, with our taste buds tingling for more.  Well, until next time then.\n\nVery impressive, watch out Chipotle!
