I went with the taco salad and added shrimp for extra protein. Every bite was packed with flavor, and all the ingredients complemented each other perfectly.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Nice little spot! Come here to eat before a show and was pleasantly surprised by the food. I had a Chile relleno plate and my wife had tacos and we both liked our food a lot. Interior is very basic, but the food is great and the people were friendly.

My fiancé and I stopped by here on a whim before a show at the Fox earlier tonight. Hooooly cow the tacos we got were SO good. He got carnitas, I got chorizo and chicken tinga. Omggggggg!!!! Chorizo was fabulous, not too greasy, and spicy. The chicken tinga was super savory and juicy. The green salsa we both had was SO good - fresh and acidic. And don’t get me started on the corn tortillas - so good.

The guy who rang us up was super nice, horchata was gas, music was vibey. Food was amazing AND well priced. Please consider stopping by if you’re in the mood for some tasty tacos.

Smaller restaurant with excellently tasting and dressed tacos, only $4 per taco!! The value for the amount of protein on these is exceptional. Food was quick to be served, presented beautifully, and was very satisfying. My personal favorite in order would probably be:
Carne Asada, Pescado (these were both great and could go either way for first), the carnitas (these carnitas felt more slow cooked in a pot vs baked/fried, they were very tender and good but my personal preference is carnitas with some hard baking/frying to add some crispness to the exterior), and the Tinga. I would visit here again, especially if value for food is a high priority

Great food, wonderfully seasoned. The pickled onions that are served as a garnish are incredible. I must have more!

I eat a lot of tacos and these are truly fantastic. My favorite part is how moist the meat was, because I find about half the time the meat in street style tacos is a little dry. Not to mention they’re only $4 and the portions are large enough to split each taco into two - a steal in the Bay Area. The guys behind the counter are super friendly and the atmosphere feels quite a bit like a place you’d go to in Baja, with a little bit more style.
