Sky's Gourmet Tacos

I'm not always big on eating alone, so I decided to call in an order and take my taco fare home. Calling in my order as I drove down Pico (using Bluetooth, of course), I was greeted by a super friendly voice. She took my name and order, gave me my total, and said everything would be ready in 15 minutes.

There was open parking right in front, and you can't miss the lime green of the building. I got there 5 minutes early, paid, chatted with the nice lady, and got my food right on time. I ordered a shrimp taco, lobster taco, and chips with guacamole. Everyone's reviews raved about the sorrel lemonade (hibiscus & lemonade), so I ordered one of those too.

The tacos made it home still in tact, the chips were seasoned and super fresh, the guacamole had a great lime taste. And oh, the sorrel lemonade. Somewhat sweet, so I let some of the ice melt, but sooo good. I'm a fan of anything with hibiscus.

And let me tell you about los tacos. Ay dios mio. Son muy delicioso. That was about the extent of my Spanish. I thought the shrimp one was definitely the best in flavor, but the lobster was pretty darn tasty. Some of the lobster flavor was lost in the sauce, but I can't complain. I didn't find anything spicy at all, so I'm thinking I'll need to request spicier next time. Even still, the flavors were sooooo bueno. The special "sassy" sauce was really complementary to the seafood.
