Had tacos at the taqueria the meat is not the greatest but gave them 2 stars for their salsa and tortillas are super soft. Tacos are too expensive for the quality you get not worth it.

Best feature is the in store Taqueria serves freshly made, delicious authentic burritos, fairly priced, fast service, decent location, not enough parking space. Basic living necessities, besides beer, wine and liquor. Lottery tickets, scratchers, and a small seating area for dining in.
