Guest sentiment
A snapshot of what local diners frequently mention about this location.
"I ordered Al pastor and added cheese. It was very good Al pastor. More on the salty side instead of sweet but tasty. The workers were very nice. Ample seating. Has a parking lot. Cash only."
"Very good nachos and horchatas. Ceviche was very good. The tacos had a mayonnaise like sauce but with the hot sauce it was good."
"So good! Crispy carnitas that were perfectly cooked. Quick service and great tortillas!"
"We got a large horchata, varios tacos, and a huarache. Everything was flavorful and we enjoyed every bite. The salsas were good. The horchata had a silky smooth texture to it and a flavor profile I've never had with horchata, I would definitely reccomended trying it! Everyone was so kind as well from the woman who helped take our order to the cook - they went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed and comfortable. We would love to go back."
"Came here 12 years ago, and had to see if it was still the place. They did not disappoint what so ever! Delicious then, and even more delicious now. Their carne asada tacos is on par with flavor, their birria tacos are so juicy and full of flavor, their al pastor has all of the deliciousness in every bite. Even their beans and rice were simple and tasty. Just like Abuela used to make. Can't forget that the salsas are on point and their tortillas have their own unique style, and complete the taco experience without a doubt. No lo vas a arrepentir!"
"Despite the initial impression of neglect, with faded signage and worn paint, the food here is nothing short of delicious! I was staying downtown for a conference and for those willing to venture off the beaten path, go for it!"
"Love the tacos here. Man, the salsa is spicy and I like spicy! Open late night, definitely a place to hit up if you are in the area for a bite. Classic spot. The cabeza tacos are my favorite."
"Blown away by this unassuming spot. Everything was fresh and delicious. Chips were light and crunchy, salsa was smoky and drinkable. All tacos were great, especially the carne asada and al pastor sopes. Staff was also fantastic, would highly recommend!!"
