“Amazing food, and great service. One of the best burritos I’ve ever had.”
“Easily the best tacos i've had in recent memory. These guys know how to season. We got the shrimp with octopus, rib eye and happy taco. Each specially seasoned and perfectly grilled. You can really taste the fact it was grilled. Also dont let the prices fool you you might as well be getting two tacos with how much they stuff them.”
“Awesome steak tacos and steak sopes! The red salsa was my favorite. Next time we will try the Cesina and the potato tacos.”

“Fantastic restaurant with a fun outdoor eating space with lots of flowers. Tried all of their specialty tacos and they were excellent but the pork and zucchini taco was my personal favorite. Definitely recommend!”
“Finally! I found a new neighborhood spot for quality tacos and burritos. Really cute outdoor side patio with flowers, music playing, and the service was very friendly. We ordered for there and enjoyed the outside tables- they brought everything out to us including some tasty salsa and chips while we waited for the main entrees. It’s cash only FYI. Prices are very reasonable and the portions are generous. I loved my chicken taco; the steak burrito was fantastic- the tortilla shell is warmed to crispy, flaky perfection - I never had that before in a burrito. It made for excellent bite after bite. Don’t skip the coconut water!! It’s homemade, sweet but not overly sweet and pairs perfectly with the food. Definitely going back to try some other things and grab another burrito”
“There is nothing better than a great taco. What a beautiful, welcoming environment”
“Humongous carne asada burrito stuffed to the brim. Cash only spot so be prepared. I did a pretty poor job of cutting it so it doesn't look the best but it was sure delicious. The wrap was nicely seared with a great chew and the filling was flavorful. Salsas were also great.”
“We were around the area and decided to stop by this restaurant for foods. First thing, they only take cash for payments. We bought pork and steak burritos. The food is ok, but seems a bit too wet. If they can make the meat drier a bit, it will be great. Staffs are so friendly and they also have indoor and outdoor tables that customers can enjoy the music around.”
