Best tacos and burritos on the north side of the city. Haven’t found anything else that even compares without it being off the Pink Line somewhere. They also feature actually fantastic vegetarian tacos and burritos which are often fairly uninspired at other mexican restaurants. Always fairly fast and reliably amazing. The Al Pastor tacos are always my go-to favorite.

Food is great, the amount of meat is enough. The place is clean and the server is friendly and helpful. Good luck in the future!

The food was delicious. I had a three-taco dinner featuring arrachera, fried fish, and tinga chicken tacos. The arrachera steak was tender and moist, the fried fish had a comfortable level of heat and was accompanied by plenty of slaw, and the chicken was juicy, although I think it could have used a bit more seasoning. Overall, I enjoyed the meal, and the rice and beans were a great complement!

ordered take out and after getting home realized the order was carelessly wrong. three tacos with nothing on them besides the meat? then the other 3 specified no cilantro - they ALL had cilantro on them & missing onions that were supposed to be included. 2 stars because the meat tasted fine.

Pedí mis tacos por Uber y me mandan solo mis tacos sin nada ? Se supone que los pedí con todo como dice el tiket y solo me enviaron los camarones 😠

Great burrito, great meal, and wonderful service. That orange salsa (I'm assuming habanero) is fantastic. Love a grilled burrito... that should be a standard practice. Presentation was killer. Chips were lacking, but I didnt go for the chips, those were free.

Food was good, not expensive, and the water didn't taste like toilet (that's a huge point for me).
