“ First time here didnt know what to expect, ordered tacos they came out tiny little tacos about 3inch sized tortilla, but they were good. I like that they have topping and hot sauces bar so you can add yourself. Good food overall. ”
“ We went here on a whim for something other than our regular spots. I will say I was not disappointed at all, the food was super tasty, and extremely simple. They offer a ton of meat options, that several spots don't do. They also make them EXTREMELY FAST, no 15-20 minute waits. My wife had gotten Asada tacos (steak), they were very good, nicely seasoned and nice corn tortilla's. The sauce / salsa's are self service with a variety of flavors, and you can add Cilantro & onions on your own. I had gotten Quesobirria tacos, they were also extremely good, cheesy was gooey and the birria was nice, and not chewy. It did come with the consume, (Liquid it was cooked in) on the side. Definitely nice to dip and mix with hot salsa. We also had a chocoflan, which is hard to get right imo. I loved it and my wife did too. Overall, if your looking for a good cheap taco spot with no frills or any of that. Look no further. I will say I know the area, it isn't the best but it isn't the worst. Don't let it scare you off whatsoever. ”
