Came here on a whim, the food was excellent and authentic..me and my husband agreed we found a new spot for Mexican food. A+

Came by for the first time in years and I wasn't disappointed. The service was fast and friendly and the tortillas were amazing. Can't wait to come back!

Make sure you try the al pastor; preferably with a large lemonade ;3 Frankly, I come here every single time for the al pastor and it's to the point where I just order it by the pound because you will want to keep. coming. back.

Very solid taqueria, the Asada chalupas are my favorite thing on the menu, but the tacos are also great. Very hole in the wall but your dollar goes a long way here. I started coming here about 10 years ago and have noticed most of the same people work here so that's a plus.

First time there and it was little busy and little loud,but the food smells great,when it was my turn to order I realize you have to speak Spanish or else you have to point it out on what you want and you got to speak up!I wanted two pastor tacos and three tripas tacos,but we couldn't quite understand one another so I said Si Si and behold I got five wonderful tripas tacos with cilantro,onions, cucumbers,lime wedges and think some beets. First bite brought on a smile and then the waitress right after that first bite ask what I want to drink in Spanish and I had to use my Tex Mex Spanish and I said give me coca-Cola and I don't know if it's me or what but I think the coke that comes in those small bottles taste way better that the ones that come in a can or plastic it was cold and smooth and went well with my tripa plate like good glass of red wine with a good steak.Like to note that it was a trip to me that I ordered my food at the red wood counter which the grill cook make your tacos right there and then and then dresses your plate with those wonderful vegetables that I mentioned above,hands over your plate to you and then you choose where you want to sit and when you are done eating you then pay for your food I am not use to that,but hey it works for me,also I think its money only no Credit cards,so make sure you have green in your wallet or else the Cartels will go come out take you to the nearest ATM na I am just kidding on that!!When I sat down to eat it began to rain cats and dogs it was such perfect timing and made my experience at this restaurant much much better and on top of that I had a cool girl siting across from me and we ask about each other's food and she said she likes hers and- we even exchange a taco with each other she gave me a pastor taco and I gave her a tripa taco how nice of her it's good to know there are still kind good looking girls out there who don't think every guy is out there to get you know what;),anyways I had to go back to work I said good bye and God bless you and I left what a good experience I had at this place and yeah it may not happen to me again like that or for you when you come here,but at least the tacos are good!Oh by the way no I didn't ask for her number she was to young for me and besides I have a good women at home:).

Excellent food great service a hole in the wall great tacos never over crowded I hate that you have to keep adding words if I like the place I just say so if not I don't yelp keeps making me say more than I wanted to

Wonderful little Mexican restaurant. food is always so fresh and cooked fast. the wait staff does not speak much English but if you can speak Spanish or point to what you want on the menu you will be fine. A lot of food for little money. they only take cash so make sure you have some when you come. I do not understand how taco bell stays in business when there are places like this open.
