I've always thought that this taqueria looked like it would be pretty exciting, but the burritos, and particularly the enchilada sauce, are sadly lacking in taste. In a town that sometimes seems over-crowded with yummy taquerias it's a little hard to believe that one so bland could survive...and not just survive, but make enough money to pay rent in a downtown location. But El Grillo has a secret...it may not be the bland burritos that are paying the bills. If you need to use the restroom while you're here, you better be 21--the only bathroom is through the swinging door to Mary's strip club in back. I'm not sure what the relationship is between the two establishments, but it seems like a good way to get into Mary's without paying a cover, and maybe the strippers explain why El Grillo doesn't need to serve better food to make money.
