We live nearby, less than 2 miles away and this was our first time visiting. It was taco Tuesday and I saw they had $1.85 street tacos (price as of 2/6/24). Options were chicken, carne asada, and adobada. I had one of each and they were amazing !We ate there and enjoyed really tasty chips and salsa while the tacos were being made. The pictures of all the music artists on the wall were so fun to look at and the music was also really nostalgic. Also, the staff was so helpful and friendly. Some places make you feel rushed and this really felt inviting.I had 3 tacos and my fiance had 4. It was the perfect amount for each of us for dinner. But at $1.85 each, get as many as you want!We had the chipotle crema salsa and the habanero salsa. Both were excellent. Habanero salsa wasn’t overly spicy, despite it looking like their hottest salsa.I’m excited to come here for other items too. Their breakfast burritos , quesadillas , and tortas also all look amazing. We’re so lucky to have this gem in our neighborhood. I highly suggest coming by and getting a meal if you’re in the area.

45 minute wait for a cali burito and 2 fish tacos. The staff seemed nice enough but they only had two people, clearly too light for a Friday night, they were completely overwhelmed. Management needs to hire more people. Also I did not love that they cooked without gloves. Food was fine, but not worth the nonsense.

Just found this great place! The place is tiny with only a few window seats and two tables inside. No outside tables at all. Service was helpful, prompt and friendly. I had the adobada salad bowl. It's not on the menu but they made it for me. It was delicious!! It came with fresh lettuce, some cheese, avocado and pico de gallo. I got it without dressing and sour cream and put some of their fabulous homemade salsas on top. Fabulous and reasonably priced!! i'll definitely be back!!
