  This place is a great place to go if you want cheap Mexican food late at night. I got an al pastor burrito for $5! Rice and beans are $1 extra if you want them.
  
  They have the sauce station with 6 different sauces, radish and limes. Loved this and grabbed a variety to go.
  
  The burrito isn't amazing or special but I mean it's a $5 burrito what can you really expect? It was good and kept me full.
  
  Would go back for a late night bite. Especially considering how cheap it is.

  Ok. Wow. I'm still trying to figure how this place still sits at 4 stars when I've gone here twice and consistently gotten equally subpar and/or poor quality food and service equally.
  Everything is great until after the food is ordered and then everything tanks after that.
  The first time my wife and I came here, we ordered the mojarra and super nachos with al pastor and extra beans with a couple of sodas. Pretty basic stuff. With a couple people in front of us...took almost 25 mins. My nachos sat waiting for 5 mins until my wife's order finished just so they could say my name once.
  Even though, my wife enjoyed her mojarra frita (fried tilapia) I was disappointed. I will applaud for the amount of cheese they put on but the plate/al pastor was cold and, of course more chips than you can shake a stick than anything else. The one thing that aggravates me was they served the nachos with black beans?? Hello? How the heck do you get anything to stick to the chip? Obviously, not with black beans. Not convinced I got extra, either. Unfortunately,  was late to another engagement to complain about it. $20+ in, strike one.
  I went here today and ordered 3 rolled shredded beef tacos and 2 fish tacos (highly recommended by cashier). Again, one person ahead of me and still waited past 15 mins to get my order when others past me got their order, wth?
  The order looked good when I got it but as I started eating through it, it got worse. The first fish taco was heavily breaded with some fish and had ZERO crunch to it, I mean, NONE. It was a bit fishier tasting than I expected. The second was horrendous. Had almost no fish and had the same resemblance of a hush puppie. I would have had better odds ordering at Long John Silver than this with same quality. Utter garbage. Threw it away. The rolled shredded beef tacos were tasteless and dry with no flavor. Had to dip them into their diluted guacamole salsa to add some flavor. Must be another cost saving method on their part.
  This is supposed to be a taco shop with fast service that supposedly specializes in tacos but yet falls short on even the most basic items in terms of quality and execution. If you only care about quantity for the price over quality, this place is for you. Otherwise, I will only recommend this place to the enibriated crowd. Good luck!

  We love Don Ladis Taco Shop!  I base my reviews on what they claim to be.  Not what I want them to be.  This is a local favorite and extremely affordable. It's a "hole in the wall" or "dive" taco shop.  Get past the neon yellow paint and the gray painted floor, needs a fresh coat.  This is a great place for a quick, filling and budget meal.  Plenty of tables to sit at!
  
  I love the #1 Special which is a shredded chicken and rice burrito.  Rice and beans on side and a drink to boot for the great price of $5.50!  Seriously it's a huge and tasty meal.  I like the Horchata drink too!  Refills?  Yes.  Included.  I wish I could tell you about other items but this is my go-to.  Be sure to check out the salsa bar-it's saucy!
  
  5 star for classic Mexican fare and a price that cannot be beat!
  
  PS I assume a 1 Star first time reviewer (like the one below) is from a disgruntled employee.  I do not put too much weight on those reviews.  Don Ladis is a hopping place and I have never received bad service, attitudes or food in 4 years of frequenting here.

  Stopped by after hiking for a bite. I've been excited to try this place since Josh F. spoke so highly about it. The staff are friendly and very knowledgeable. I got a fish taco, an al pastor taco, and a burrito (thanks for the coupon, Josh!). Everything was pretty tasty. The al pastor had good flavor and a nice crispness. I wish I had some grilled pineapples with it though. The fish taco was decent and had a good batter. The pollo asado burrito which I just took a few bites from was full of chicken and flavorful guacamole. Their salsa bar is good as well. Super tasty spot and worth the stop!
