“Great food, natural ingredients, homemade sauces.
I had the carne asada tacos, my go-to for taco shops. These were not your regular street tacos. They are full of meat and made with care, balanced with added ingredients to create a tasteful taco.
I called my order ahead, so I could do a quick pickup on the run. The owner was very friendly and offered the entire array of sauce selections. The freshly, homemade house sauce is the best. A little spicy but really flavorful.
Parking was not a problem bbut appeared to be limited. The shops along the mini mall have a quick turnover, so it appears to work. Seems to be ample spots to park.
The cost is very affordable and priced for return business. I think I'll try one of the burritos next visit.
Well done Mr. G!“

My friend says their lengua is the best he’s ever had.
Since this inside North Gate, depending on the time of day/week, it might be much busier and/or harder to find seating. We had to sit somewhere in the market that wasn’t nearby“

They’ve got amazing happy hour deals from 3-6 every day as well. Quick service and friendly environment with Mexican music subtly playing while you eat. Good experience for lunch!“

“We had a late lunch around 2pm and just a handful of customers inside. Since we may have looked a little lost since first time here, a staff member kindly stepped us through the process on the ordering station, giving us high-level suggestions, and answering various questions. We each had soft tacos, mine had grilled swai (a non-fishy fish) and my hubs had his deep fried swai. The staff member also mentioned that we could delete items in the tacos such as tomato and also request extra salsa, green or red. Came with 2 sides. Ended up putting some of my cole slaw into the taco. Messy, but very yummy!“

“I have been coming to this location for quite some time, and while I was disappointed to find out that my favorite Kalua Pork Bowl is no longer on the menu, Bianca completely turned my experience around.

She recommended a similar dish, and I ended up loving it! Bianca is always welcoming, friendly, and has a smile that makes every customer feel valued. Her knowledge of the menu is outstanding, and she's always happy to answer questions and make great recommendations.

What impressed me even more was watching her help her coworkers while keeping up with taking orders and delivering food to guests, including me. She truly goes above and beyond, and it's clear she genuinely cares about providing excellent customer service.

Every time I visit, Bianca consistently provides an exceptional experience. Employees like her are the reason customers keep coming back. She absolutely deserves recognition—and in my opinion, a well-earned raise!

Thank you, Bianca, for always making every visit such a positive one. Keep up the amazing work!“
