Great taco spot. The staff is friendly and very helpful when you are ordering food. There are so many choices you could go for mouths and not eat the same thing. The El Hugo is a must try. Can't wait to go again.

Delicious! I had the bacon/egg/chorizo breakfast taco, and the chorizo was the best I’ve ever tasted! I don’t think you can go wrong with anything on the menu here.
