  No fluff or frills here. There's a walk up window, a few benches and bomb ass Mexican food. Dats it
  
  I came here because I was in need of fuel and didn't have time to wait around. I was able to place my order and have my meal in hand within 8 mins. Efficiency baby!!!  The tacos (all tacos come in 2's) were rather filling and tasty and for the price point. You couldn't ask for anything better.

  Very interesting and expansive menu. Non-traditional taco menu.
  
  Great outdoor space which is lit up nice at night. It's a small little shack with only 2 people working. The main downside of the place was the long wait for the food. They weren't crazy busy but having one person cook just made it take a while.
  
  Ordered the vegetarian burrito and veggie empanada.
  
  Burrito was good and unique. The nuts threw me off but in a good way.
  
  The empanada was very heavy on the "pea" flavor. Be prepared. If you like peas this should be your go to... but also find me a person who says they like pea flavor.
  
  Decently priced and a good location.

  Ordered a burrito off the menu along with pico to go. Placed my order, paid, and as I was waiting I started to do the math in my head and was overcharged by a small amount (talking less than 50 cents). I did the math a few times to make sure I was not crazy with a calculator.
  
  Not a big deal I thought... and as my food was called I asked them about it. The two workers could not comprehend 1st grade math even after I showed them their own menu and explained how the total bill should be calulated with sales tax. They kept insisting it was the higher price "because that is what it is".
  
  Took my money back and they took their food back. Will never be back as there are plenty of other places to eat in the area.

  Tacos are one of my constant cravings, so when I passed by and saw the "tacos that don't suck!" motto, I knew I had to try it.
  
  My sister and I went at around 5ish and we were the only ones there. It took maybe 5-10 minutes to get our order.
  
  I ordered the "Almost Pastor" (pork, pineapple, salsa rosa, and queso - $7.75) from the regular menu and the "Caribbean Shrimp Taco" (shrimp, spicy cream, mango salsa, cilantro, radish - $10) from the specials menu. Each order had two tacos and included a lime. My sister and I split the tacos and we were both satisfied with the amount of food. These weren't the best tacos I have ever had, but they didn't suck! I love shrimp and pork tacos in general, but they could have definitely used more of the pineapple and mango to add some sweetness and tang to the meat and overall dish. A bite of the pork taco without the pineapple left a bit of a charred burnt meat taste. Despite the underwhelming fruit element, both tacos were filled to the max when it came to the meat and other components.
  
  When I am around the Fishtown area, craving another taco, I'll stop by to try some of the signature items or for their taco Tuesday deals.

  "Tacos that don't suck." *insert awkward silence here.*
  
  My BF & I decided to have a mini food adventure in the Fishtown/Northern Libs area. We always pass Heffe when we're in the area and we decided to give it a try regardless of the mediocre reviews. I mean, I've been let down in the past going to places based on their raving reviews, so why not give Heffe a try right?
  
  We ordered 2 tacos: Almost Pastor (Pork) and the Merman (Whitefish). After waiting 25 minutes, which is pretty long already for 2 orders of tacos, we went across the street to Poe's Sandwich Joint to order a Meatball Parm. That took only 15 minutes, but we were still waiting on the tacos...My BF decided to check in and they seemed like they forgot.
  
  We waited, I kid you not, a total of 50 minutes! Everyone else had a pretty long wait too, but we received our order last even after those who had ordered after us. If it was really busy, I would somewhat understand, but there were only a few people waiting. The tacos were OK in flavor, but not extra-ordinary. Not worth the wait. Not worth the $. Based on the wait alone, I would not come back. Even the tacos won't salvage that.
