Awesome desserts, tacos and gordita’s. I want to try other menu items, but I can’t stop ordering tacos. Small place and not much seating. It’s best to plan on ordering to go and grab a table if becomes free. Love the salsa bar.
So so yummy!! It was so good we had to go back the next day before we left town. There’s an unlimited salsa bar with delicious options and extra vegetables. Prices were decent for the portions. The chicken tamale was good as well. Definitely support this small business, you won’t regret!
This place is awesome! The food's great!! It's a really wonderful place, so inviting and nice. They clearly put a lot of love into the food. You gotta check it out!
Exactly what I want, simple menu with delicious food. I don't want some fancy atmosphere that I have to pay for, and I didn't get that here. Casual seating, plenty of salsa and limes, and lightning fast service.
Inexpensive, authentic, and delicious! I went for the first time today and got the carnitas, al pastor, and shrimp tacos. All of them were excellent. That with a drink and a scoop of ice cream came out to 13.50. This is my new go-to
I asked for an Carnitas burrito and this is a Monster! Of One. Also tastes delicious of course Small quiet, quaint and the little girl singing was just great
This has become one of our favorite places to eat. The food is just so good They have handmade tortillas, and that's a plus. Give it a try. Oh, they also have desserts, yummy!
Place for quick authentic tacos with a variety of meats. Menu has burritos, quesadillas, and other items, but the tacos were great! We tried chorizo, carnitas, chicken, shrimp, pastor, and lengua. Pastor was a favorite. Shop has snacks and ice cream too. Nice staff with some indoor and outdoor seating.
