Tratar is a Mexican restaurant chain.  Actually, more of an American taco/burrito joint – not a single authentic Mexican item on the menu.  Astoundingly, 30 stores across the country.

Meh.  The crispy double taco consisted of a soft tortilla + hard shell + deep-fried chicken strips + shredded cabbage + mayo-based dressing + raw onions + raw tomatoes (cilantro at additional cost) – the breading on the chicken was gritty, and the breast meat within was way dry, making every bite a very unpleasant experience.  Can’t tell if the “double” refers to the pair of tacos, or to the 2 types of wraps, or to the combination of deep-fried chicken strips and deep-fried shell.  Whatever.
