The tacos can be ordered a la carte or as part of a combo with two servings to enjoy and are crafted with mild chile-soaked corn tortillas stuffed with marinated steak along with cheese, salsa and onion & cilantro mix. The tacos come with a side serving of a rich, savory chile beef consommé for dipping along with rice and black or pinto beans.
