Taking product photos are very difficult. Of all things, I consider taking pictures of food the most difficult. What makes it difficult is the fact that sometimes the subject itself can have different ingredients that have textures that reflect light to a varying degree. For example, here the tomatoes and avocado appear shiny, but the cheese and tortilla do not appear that way at all.

It is also important that you take photos of the food when you are hungry, much like grocery shopping. Here, I had tacos until I was vomiting, and only then went to work. I was so nauseated by then that any angle I chose did not look appeasing.
