- No onions
- No cilantro
- No lime
- Not even any radish slices
- Lettuce & tomatoes?
- Hard taco shell instead of a homemade corn/flour tortilla??
- Weirdass sauce spread on the outside of the plate instead of in a tiny plastic cup?
- OLVES FOR SOME REASON?

There is no Latino taco joint that makes tacos like that. This is the whitest taco I've ever seen. That shit offends me more than anything.
