The $25.00 lunch special represents the premium end of the midday menu, utilizing skirt steak and multiple fresh components to differentiate it from the standard $15.00 customizable builds.

Protein Selection and Entrée Pricing

Skirt steak and shrimp consistently command higher prices than chicken or ground beef across various dish formats. For example, in the standalone entree category, shrimp is priced at $21.00, while skirt steak sits at $18.00 and grilled chicken at $17.00.

The “Famous Tacos La Piedad” at $24.00 offer a high-density protein experience, featuring three soft corn tortillas with a combination of grilled skirt steak, grilled chicken breast, and tender carnitas, accompanied by frijoles de la olla, rice, and fresh guacamole. This contrasts with the more individualistic “Create Your Own Combo” at $20.00, which allows for a single choice of ground beef or shredded chicken paired with rice and beans.

While a Caesar Salad is positioned as a budget-friendly $8.00 option, the Ensalada de Asada reaches $28.00 due to its use of prime skirt steak, avocado, and roasted corn. The Vallarta Salad, priced at $23.00, utilizes grilled shrimp, strawberries, blueberries, and almonds.

Individual enhancements are priced at a flat $3.00 rate, including pico de gallo, shredded cheese, sour cream, jalapeño slices, and tomatoes.

The menu also features several seafood-specific tacos, including Atun (Ahi Tuna), Shrimp, and Mahi, which are served with cabbage and pico de gallo, providing a lighter alternative to the heavier meat-based options like the Burrito Texano ($18.00).
