3 taco plate with rice and beans…LENGUA was out of this world…beefy flavor you’d expect but surely the most tender and moist Ive ever ever had. Can’t wait to come back!

“This place has been a staple for my girlfriend, friends, and family.”

This place has been a staple for my girlfriend, friends, and family. I love this place so much the food is so good. I love the horchata too. Everything about this place is always up to par and then some. If you have time order in or they have really speedy Uber eats that you can't beat.

(This is NOT a paid review!) Tldr; the tacos here taste EXACTLY like food truck tacos I had at the taco festival in Pilsen. The food: This is the ultimate post-smoke stop. The tacos are reasonably priced, and the amount of actual beef in my carne asada tacos is waaaay more than when I have to pay $4-$5 downtown for an equivalent experience. The beans are tasty. Are these the best tacos on Earth? No. Will you like your order? Post-Smoke, 1000%. Pre-Smoke: yes, but not 1000%. Edit: The horchata is not my favorite. It reminds me a little of potpourri, but the taste version. The staff: the woman who took my order was polite, kind, and in my opinion, exceptionally friendly. I have social anxiety and didn't feel the sense of impending doom at all in this place. The atmosphere: I read the reviews for 5-10 minutes before getting out of the car and walking in. Photos were posted of the bathroom, so I took more, because it was really clean. The sink was literally cleaner than any home I've been a guest in, ever. It's an older building, and we are ALL on a budget, so everything isn't the newest-shiniest, but who cares. Summary: my total was less than $20 for a side of refried beans, medium horchata, 3 carne asada tacos, limes, and verde salsa. I hope this helps your decision! I'm sending well wishes and positivity your way.

“Another place you can find hard shell tacos with cheese.”

Another place you can find hard shell tacos with cheese. No ground beef, but the "steak" was similar. Chunks of crumbly beef.

“Nice music when walking in, good seating arrangements.”

Nice music when walking in, good seating arrangements. The employees were polite and spoke English well. I ordered a 3 taco plate, of which I ordered 2 al pastor tacos and 1 asada. The asada tacos were quite nice and flavorful, and paired well with their salsa. The al pastor taco is nothing to write home about. It was largely flavorless surprisingly, especially given the amount of grilled onion included in the taco. There was no hint of traditional al pastor tacos in these. If there was guajillo, I definitely didn't taste it, nor did I taste any pineapple. The only way I was able to finish these was by drowning them in red salsa. Otherwise, the rice and beans on the plate were quite good, and the onion and cilantro served was also fresh. Overall I paid $19.50 for this plate. If you order here, I'd avoid their al pastor, otherwise it's a very nice establishment.
