Service was good even though it was a pick-up order. Chicken tacos were the most awful we have ever tasted. We thought they gave us the wrong meat but the guy argued with us and said it was chicken. I think it was tongue. I wanted to take it back but my girlfriend convinced me to chalk it up as "Never go there again". We threw it out. I should have went to Taco Bell for a nachos bell grande with shredded real chicken. I originally wanted to try this particular place because of name Durango where my parents are from. My mom would be disappointed. In fact, she would give them lessons on quality of meat in America.
