These are the best tlacoyos and Hidalgo barbacoa I've ever tried. So if you want to try authentic Mexican food you need to make a stop at this place. As a Mexican this place takes me home in every bite, I lived in Mexico City and even there was hard to find a place with this flavor. The coconut water is delicious. Mr. Jose and his wife are very nice and hard working people. Everything in this place is exquisite!

I ask for a 1lb she said $25, I ask for a can soda and a consomé and she charged $39 dollars, many places gives consomé for FREE AND HERE THEY CHARGE IT! TOO EXPENSIVE AND IT WAS MY FIRST TIME HERE NEVER AGAIN

I ordered barbacoa tacos. The tacos were big price was right but the meat had no flavor

I think this place has THE BEST cabeza! It was seasoned very well.

The tacos here a larger than other places and it was filled with meat. I would like to try the quesadilla next time with cabeza and tripas, they look really good.

They also have a warm rice drink which was nice to have on a cold night.

Don't be fooled by the place, the food is delicious.
We ordered lamb birria and it was excellent. The meat comes with the consommé on the side, and a hand-made tortilla. All of
Very good flavor and the lamb meat is super soft.
The quesadillas are huge, about 40cm.
For 6 people we spent $125. Excellent portions and very good flavor.

Exquisite barbecue with penca flavor, authentic from Hidalgo and chicharrón tlacoyo.
I recommend having plastic tablecloths, since they use fabric and are more difficult to keep clean.

Fantastic (and huge) tacos, and customer service went above and beyond - when I got there the truck had been shut down but it was opened back up for me. Maybe I looked extra hungry (which I was!) I look forward to coming back and trying some other dishes. Muchas gracias - me alegraste el dia!

Quite possibly the best tacos in the South Bay. This style of regional Mexican food was truly missing in the pantheon of taquerias. Must try.

As a Mexican tourist I can say this tacos, took me back home, the hand made tortillas are awesome and huge!The quesadilla is more like a machete which means is big enough for 2 people ! We drove like 40 min to get here and it was totally worth it best tacos that I ever tried outside Mexico.

The truth is, the quesadillas are a delight, I recommend the place, the only thing that is a bit of a struggle is the parking.
