Best horchata I’ve ever had, so creamy and the right amount of cinnamon not watered down like these other taqueria’s

Los altos has the best tacos de pollo and Mexican breakfast in the neighborhood. If you want to make your money stretch and eat a delicious meal, go to Los Altos. The gorditas de rajas are AMAZING!!! Also, the caldo de albóndigas is out of this world.

The best fresh chicken in back of the yards. Have you been to Mexico and tasted how fresh and tasty the chicken is over there? Well the chicken here is the closest you can get to that. The tacos are amazing la horchata. The beef caldos are really good too. I totally recommend this place . It’s a hidden gem 💎
