Huge portions, quick delivery and delicious! Everything was fresh and free toppings include beans and lettuce, per request. Handmade tortillas, too! Definitely recommend over other taco joints in JC (looking at you, tacqueria).

We've been ordering take-out from this place for the last two years. They are so consistent and always provide great service. We've had the steak fajitas, chicken fajitas, tacos, and burritos—all so good. The horchata is very good, too.
