Food was really good, those large tacos are worth the money for sure. Respectful staff and they were very nice. Tacos were a bit oily but not to a diabetic amount, and the tortillas were freshly made and tasted fantastic definitely coming back here. Very good bakery as well bread was soft and sweet.

I thought I had to cross the border to find tacos this authentic. I knew it was good when the had lengua and tripa on the menu. The food was amazing and the price is great too. First time today and I will be travelling to come back here again.

Great food, fresh vegetables, the meat is tender enough to easily cut with a fork, and they are a friendly bunch too. I had them pick a meal for me because otherwise I order the same things. I just asked them for the best thing they had and I got it. Beef, veggies, and shrimp with corn shells. It came with sides of rice and beans. I plan to grab some of their awesome looking pastries on my way out. Highly recommend if you are a fan of fantastic flavor. I will also add that the food was very flavorful, the spice accented the meal they didn’t overpower it.
