I hate to give them a bad review because their Chile Rellenos were good. The big issue was my wife wanted nachoes and they just used fake Cheese Whiz on it. We consider that TOTALLY unacceptable! I'm surprised a Mexican restaurant would even have Cheese Whiz in stock. She ended up just putting the nachoes in the trash.

Great authentic tacos. New favorite spot for tacos in the South Lake Tahoe area. Haven’t found a better one yet.

No alcohol here except beer. It’s very casual, outside has picnic tables, you can eat inside. Killer good salsa, tacos and burritos. Extensive menu and very affordable. We’ll be back! 🤠
