“I usually get mine with no onions because sometimes they’re overpowering but this time I’m glad I got them because of how finely the onions are chopped, allowing me to fully enjoy an authentic taco experience 😋”

“The tacos were delicious, I got two steaks and a veggie.”
The tacos were delicious, I got two steaks and a veggie. Everyone already raved about the carne asada so I don’t need to talk much about that. The veggie is surprisingly delectable as well, it comes with mushrooms, cheese, tomato, and avocado. All combined to create a great vegetarian option that is comparable to the popular meat options. I usually get mine with no onions because sometimes they’re overpowering but this time I’m glad I got them because of how finely the onions are chopped, allowing me to fully enjoy an authentic taco experience 😋

“What a new neighborhood gem.”
What a new neighborhood gem! Large portions, delicious food, and friendly people. The steak tacos really hit the spot. Had enough guacamole to take home. Looking forward to my next visit.

“We had just finished a very long hike , and didn’t want to be stuck in traffic.”
We had just finished a very long hike , and didn’t want to be stuck in traffic. We found this place by chance and WOW!!! A must try. The owner is so kind. The food is so fresh, and it’s just him and the kitchen. We had the Steak, pastor, cheese tacos, guacamole, and horchata. EVERYTHING tasted so fresh. Outdoor seating so your pup can even come !

“This small and humble hole-in-the wall spot is serving up some seriously big flavors.”
This small and humble hole-in-the wall spot is serving up some seriously big flavors. Your nose gets the first bite here with all the charcoal-grilled meats. As expected, both al pastor and steak were so flavorful and packed with a delectable smokiness. Service was warm and lovely. Truly a hidden gem!

“Stopped by with my wife and son and the owner gave my son a quesadilla to snack on while we waited.”
Stopped by with my wife and son and the owner gave my son a quesadilla to snack on while we waited. The steak tacos are delicious and fresh off the grill. The red salsa is legit and tastes like what mom makes. The owner is very passionate and the food is delicious.

“We had veggie and pastor burritos tonight .”
We had veggie and pastor burritos tonight . They were both incredibly flavorful and delicious . The salsas were the perfect complement. We usually have the tacos and they are always sooo delicious. When the weather is warmer it is fun to watch the Chef Isaac work his magic.

“This is an awesome taco stand on Lawrence.”
This is an awesome taco stand on Lawrence. The food is delicious, and the service is fast and friendly. There are a couple of tables outside to eat there, but it is more suited to take food to go.
