Just got two steak tacos from here. They were amazing! Good size and fresh meat. Recommend knowing atleast a tad bit of Spanish but the people are so nice and eager to work with you. Can't wait to go back.

This is a small, hole in the wall place......but the food is big on taste and won't break the bank. The guacamole is fresh and the best I've had locally. I usually get the chicken tacos, which are stuffed with chunks of chicken, a little...Read More
