This is the best taco shop in national city period!! And anybody who says otherwise cannot be trusted! The tacos here are fire 🔥🔥🔥! I can't recommend a specific taco because they're all good but my favorite is probably the barbacoa or cabeza.

This place feels like home. Parking may be an issue, but honestly it's worth it 👌. Arriving at different times is a way to assume people when people leave, especially since they're there for the swapmeet

I've first started coming here when I was 6 years old. 20 years late the barbacoa tacos are still my all time favorite! Hands down, best tacos. Friendly family business.

Great place! I've been going there for well over a decade and they have great food, wonderful service, and are super nice and friendly to talk to. They also have really good prices. This place is second to none and I highly recommend it.

Delicious food and the gentlemen and family as a whole work so efficiently. There's a reason the lines are so long every weekend. Slap some beans on any taco to add more flavor.

2 dollar tacos! They are big with double tortilla. Sometimes it gets a bit crowded, but it's still a nice place to sit and have lunch! My favorite is the Barbacoa.

Very good tacos. They are big tacos. Not the small tortilla street tacos that other places sell for almost the same price.
