I had the Barbacoa, it was the best I had in years. The food made me feel like been in a quinceañera and the food been made by a Tia or grandma. I’m just passing by this small town and I’m sure I won’t be here again but I will just take some Barbacoa for the road. Sorry for the photo, it was taken after I finished.😅

I stopped here completely at random after seeing it on a gas station stop on a long roadtrip. They had the barbacoa special on Thursday, it came with 3 hand made tortillas that were to die for, and amazingly high quality barbacoa, rice, and beans. The agua fresca with lime and cilantro was delicious too! A total gem, and easily comparable to the last time I had home made mexican food in Tijuana! Don’t miss it!

Got the carnitas taco with hand made tortilla. It was delicious. The carnitas were crunchy yet moist and the tortilla was made as if grandma had made it. Come give them a try if you haven’t.
