“This is the best taco place I’ve ever been to in my life. 10/10.”
“Very clean place and good service, the sopes, burritos and tripa with red sauce are the absolute best, any time am by the area I come over here. Red sauce is fire, make sure to get a Jamaica fresh water to stop the burning in your mouth 😉”
“Absolutely, fantastic food fantastic service, and just an overall great vibe”
“Some of the best tacos I’ve had in a REALLY long time. Well priced and a vast menu that is good for vegetarians too! Definitely will be coming back.”
“Thought they had quesabirria but nope, so we ate some good tacos instead , had a great time while collecting some cards , would definitely get the al pastor over carne asada any day”
“These nachos are my favorite comfort food! I order them regularly and they are everything I need them to be. Highly recommend!”
“Very good food and great service. I highly recommend this restaurant.”
“A great, local, family-run Taqueria. Good food and the family is super nice. 10/10 would recommend!”
“10/10 food and the family working in here is amazing. They cook the food to perfection and it’s made with so much flavor and love (seriously). We found this spot looking for authentic Mexican food near the tide laundromat down the street and let’s just say this is now our go to spot. Also my partner is allergic to seafood but I wanted shrimp fajitas so they cooked them separately for us. Will 100% be back soon.”
“The chorizo & suadero burrito was crazy delicious and they have some of the best guacamole I’ve ever had. The tacos are good too, but the burrito & guac are where it’s at here. I don’t find a lot of burritos I like a ton, so I was really happy to find such an amazing one”
