Found this place a few weeks ago and I’m loving it. Family owned and operated damn they make a good taco. My favorite so far is simply carne asada but I like the al pastor too. Come stop by and check them out for a quick bite. They have counter seating inside and a couple tables on the sidewalk. Right next to Pete’s coffee on Brannan.

I finally took the time to stop by to try the food. I was very excited, but boy was I let down. I ordered chicken enchiladas and the sauce was cold the beans were cold and the rice was cold. The guacamole was OK but slightly old. I was very disappointed because I don't like cold Mexican food. I was super bummed!
