I love Broken English and have been many times. Unfortunately this time around the tacos tasted different and didn’t have the flavor and richness they normally do. Not sure if it was due to a change or recipes or cooks but it was a bit disappointing. Everything else is always great, nice atmosphere and staff. I will be back and hopefully the food is back to normal next time I go.

I’m someone who enjoys spicy food, but the food was too spicy. It would be nice to see none spicy taco options in the menu to be able to mix and match.

The food was not good. The menu is extremely limited. I would not go back. The server was nice and friendly, but overall the food was not something I’d ever want to go back to eat.
