šŸ¶ Gus: Loooove to sniff this place on walks. Very sniffy. 10/10 sniffs. We donā€™t always stop and eat, but sometimes we do! I collect taco tax from dad. Pork tacos make me happy (and a little drooly). Hold the hot sauce plz.

Some of the most creative and interesting tacos iā€™ve had in SD. Always super fresh and fair price. Staff is always very helpful and friendly. Will definitely take friends/family here when visiting my neighborhood.

Remember that this establishment has a separate selection of more traditional tacos along with someā€¦. inventive items. Please read thoroughly as you may find a new surprise ingredient you didnā€™t know you needed. Like they implement a lot of strawberry, so it is an adventure regardless.

But they have excellent staff!
