Love this place! If authentic Mexican you’re looking for, this is your perfect spot. The service is always great, they’re super friendly. Food is amazing, always fresh, always full of flavor. And prices are very affordable.

tldr: Hands down best tacos in the Midwest. I’ve been coming here for Taco Tuesday for over a decade and it never disappoints. Friendly staff, good selection, authentic street-style tacos.

Bonus: don’t forget to ask for the spicy ghost pepper and carolina reaper hot sauce - it’s out of this world

We've been here over 20 times and the food and service are consistently excellent. They have a variety of homemade hot sauce's including a reaper sauce.

One of the better cheap taco places in the area. Taco Tuesdays are a great value. Margaritas were pretty good as well. This is not a fancy restaurant. Just pretty good Mexican
