- Luis M.

"$7 and some change for this... 2 tiny baby tacos seems a bit high. I should have went to the taco truck. Tacos dry, beans taste like nasty Goya brand and are hard."

- Kimberly R.

"Got tacos Al Pastor, the plate comes with beans and some veggies. Everything is placed is styrofoam so that you can easily throw away plates and clean after yourself like an adult. Very convenient. Also picked up a cup of Elote and that was amazing. Haven't had that in years and didn't not think it was that good. But boy was I wrong. These small family spots are the best. I can honestly say that I support small shops like this one. They also had tres leches and other pastries, but I skipped out because I was full. Satisfied"

- Jonathan M.

- Daniel B.

"Best tacos hands down. Very nice, fast service. No pictures because we ate it too fast, I'll try again next time. ***update*** It's been years, I still can't get a picture because we always come in hungry. I finally got one from a coworker, the elote. Everything is still delicious."

- Alva C.

"Seriously amazing, authentic tacos. Probably better than most Taquerias in Mexico. Horchata and tamales are on point also. Great prices!"
