bomb salsa bar - weak birria. I've been coming here 27 years and it's always been good food but they need to revise their birria recipe. they'll get the benefit of the doubt and i'll be back necause they've been crushing it for so long

It is a small place but has a large menu. The place is good for catching up with friends and spending some time. Since the food is good we can have a good experience. Most of the dishes are shown as pictures on the wall for better understanding and eradicating the language barrier. It looks like the place is very popular online as I saw multiple delivery agents picking up the orders.

Delicious Mexican Taqueria in the heart of Willow Glen. Whether you’re looking for a simple taco or a big plate of food like the asada fries, this little hole in the wall is the spot to go! The salsas are amazing with lots of variety both in flavor and spice, and there are even free chips! I’ve been coming here for years and my personal favorite is the pastor it’s really hard to beat. Looking at $10-20 per person but its worth every penny.
