It's really hit or miss. And depends in who makes your food. They have a really good salsa bar, and these tacos are the best I've had since living in Tijuana

The parking is sporadic during lunchtime. Service is quick, and there are plenty of tables.

I’ve been looking for a good taco that reminds me of childhood. Something with flavor and salsa that actually makes my nose/eyes water. I found it at this place. Even the simple rice and beans make me think of being a kid eating at grandma’s house. A taco is $4.50 at the moment but given our economy and surroundings it makes sense. But worth it. Really good authentic food. They also have a parking lot and boy do they get really busy during the weekend. Would highly recommend and definitely coming back.

This restaurant serves one of the best burritos I’ve ever had. From the outside, it might seem like just another place, but it’s truly something special. When I first visited on my brother’s recommendation, I was skeptical—after all, everyone claims their favorite spot is the best. But the moment I took that first bite, I was genuinely blown away. The burst of flavors was so unexpectedly incredible, it brought me to tears. With each bite, the experience only got better. Thankfully, my brother didn’t notice my emotional reaction.

I can only describe it as a transformative culinary moment—like I was reborn. It’s a shame I don’t live nearby, but I’ll never forget that burrito. Truly unforgettable food.

Food was very well prepared. I had 6 tacos 2 al pastor, 2 buche and 2 carninitas! Also a pineapple agua fresca. The atmosphere was nice very chill relaxing vibe. The layout of the restaurant was very mexican classic looking, From the food pick up to the indoor / out door eating areas. Over all a great experience with very friendly and welcoming staff!

Soo I came here with high hopes because it has good reviews on google! I got 3 tacos. Looked good and service was quick. I sat down and ate and it was all SALT. I tried my best to finish it but I couldn’t.. I don’t like throwing food away! So I went to the front to tell them kindly that the food was very salty. He asked would u like a refund? And I said if possible sure. I got my plate to show him and I admit I ate more than half but the lady made a stank face talking in Spanish saying no refund. I get it, I wasn’t even expecting a refund. But no need to be rude about it, I literally apologized saying sorry I don’t mean to be rude but I just wanted to say it’s so salty. Anyway, first and last time there.
