It's an old building with white concrete blocks More reminiscent of an old hamburger Shack than a Mexican food restaurant, but the interior was clean and both the indoor and outdoor was colorfully decorated

A gem. Sweet people working behind the counter . A great steak taco and pastor was good as well. Comes with Lime, salsas and a grilled jalapeño.

Un pequeño spot pero increíble, probé el plato Guadalajara esta vez y estaba delicioso. Los tacos al pastor increibles.

I love this place. It seems like neighborhood spot. Friendly service and good food. Small but homey. Ordered the chicken burrito dinner with hibiscus (Jamaica)water and a side of chips. The chips were great, beans wonderful, burrito was delicious but the rice was a bit chumpy but still good. I would definitely recommend it if you are in the area.

Some of the best tacos/burritos I had ever had. The Cecina and Al Pastor are highlights. Friendly staff, quick service. It has now become my regular taco spot.
