Small shop located in city heights but solid food and hardworking folks. Lived in the neighborhood for years but hadn’t stepped in till now, definitely one of my new spots for a rolled taco craving :)
July 2025
Service was absolutely amazing and the food came out almost instantly after we ordered, would highly recommend we got carne asada fries and it was a very generous portion, with the incredibly well balance of salt, cheeses and avocado. This exquisitely served dish was of upmost highest of quality nothing short of ineffably delicious.
April 2025
Excellent freshly prepared food by an extremely friendly staff. This place is awesome. We grabbed dinner for 6 for less than 100 bucks - everything was wonderful. I'll be back, love finding a family owned spot that does so much so well.

Kid-friendliness: The peace is tiny but the menu is very kid friendly. They'll even let you pick which cheese for the quesadilla in case you've got a little one with jack v. cheddar preferences.
