When I walked in and saw the hand written sign, inside a bodega, I had high hopes. This place is the real deal!! The meat is flavorful in their street style tacos, which is crucial, since it’s just meat and tortilla with onion/cilantro. The tamales taste like my family in Puebla makes, took me straight home. I also had the Gordita which was perfectly crispy and not too thick, with all the appropriate fillings and toppings. I slathered mine in the red salsa they have which is the perfect amount of heat that made my cheeks flush. Do NOT sleep on the tamarindo agua fresca - whoa, a work of art, if you know what it takes to make it. My partner had the empanadas and they were flaky and the filling was seasoned enough to punch through the crust. They recently upgraded their 2 tiny tables to 3 tables that seat 4 each. Run don’t walk. This place is a gem. 💎 Make sure you order at the register and don’t forget to finish off your meal with some esquites (pic) or fruta “loca”. 🔥I drive from the North Shorw to get my taco / Mexican food fix here!
