The tacos were pricey, but I do admit they're good, big af, and come in a freshly made yellow corn tortilla. I had asada and carnitas. The only thing I didn't enjoy was the agua de Tamarindo. It was not good. The food was really good.“

The poor man coughs and coughs (I don't blame him, due to his age) but it is not correct that he still hands out the menu cards without cleaning his hands. Much less that he stands in front of clients and his pants are too low ??“

“*VEGETARIANS*(and everyone else)...Tacos de papas especial ? (3 potato hard shell tacos+ drink) I usually get it with the piña but they also have horchata and fountain drinks. They have a plate with 2 potato tacos + rice and beans as well, which is good and I get when I'm in the mood for a plate. Ask for cucumber (pepino), lime and onion and cilantro on the side. Salsa Verde and the extra hot salsa I think it's made with habanero and it's bomb ?? but pretty spicy. Their red salsa is okay, just not my usual go-to in any place. It's small but everyone is chill and they take phone orders. There's also seating in the little patio area. Not sure, but I don't think there's a restroom. Be careful parking on the street (Firestone) during certain times. You will get a ticket. Check the sign.Vegetarian options: Tacos de papas ?Chile relleno burritoOther veg options as wellParking: Check the parking sign on Firestone in front of this place. Certain times you can't park there and you will get a ticket.“

“I've lived nearby to this hidden gem and never ventured inside until around 2 years ago. Food, service and ambiance is wonderful. We decided after our first time there that it would become our Taco Tuesday spot. Be warned though, it gets kinda packed especially before closing time on Tuesdays for their special when the rush kicks in. Oh man, they have a salsa bar with this habanero sauce that's sooo good and spicy that my mouth waters when I think about it. One lil container is all I need for like 4 tacos. A lil goes a long way. I dare ya to have some. ;) Anyway, give it a shot. It may become your new spot too.“
