“We constantly order food from here and let me tell you they NEVER disappoint.”
We constantly order food from here and let me tell you they NEVER disappoint! Their burritos are so good as well as their tacos. So if you ask me to rate their food 0-to-10 I would honestly say they brake the scale! That’s how good this place is. Oh and one last thing it’s a MUST to try their ramen birria!!

Yessss! A solid taqueria on the north side! Such a great little spot with big flavor. We picked up some tacos, rice, and beans tonight and were so excited to have a great taqueria near our home. Meat was so tender and flavorful! Fair prices, good menu, and really nice guys. Excited to try more things and to walk back for some paletas with my daughter.

“We loved this new spot.”
We loved this new spot! We got the tacos and ate them in Winnemac Park. We got the tacos de Al pastor and carne asada and they were amazing. The pineapple is great in the Al pastor and the steak was tender. Salsas were really flavorful. The prices are fair. We will definitely be back soon!
