Some of the best Al Pastor tacos I've ever had. The char flavor on the this and the steak was so good. Also, a ton of meat in each taco, they are big. The chips were also good.

The food at this place is really good, but damn, the price has gone waaayyyyy up. We got 2 steak quesadillas, 2 chicken tacos (with cheese and sour cream, 75 cents each, adding 1.50 to the cost of each 4.25 taco, making the cost of these 2 chicken tacos $11.50!!) a side of rice, and a large chips and guacamole, total cost, $49. We will not be ordering from here anymore, the food is great, but way too expensive.

I hate to say this, but the food is not good. It's a salt bomb. I got the al pastor and it was painful choking it down. All you taste is salt and the texture was overly fatty/chewy. Gigantic portions and a premium cost. Two people cost $35 but I have leftovers for days. Unfortunately, it's inedible due to the salt content. On the plus side, the staff is very friendly. Very homey atmosphere. If I were them, I'd dial down the portion size, cut the salt, and lower prices a bit. Add lunch specials.

What they have to start with is good but there is room for improvement. If they can improve, they will be a standout. The steak is a bit tough and could use more tenderizing. Flavor is great, but tastes a bit boiled and lacks sear. Barbacoa is pretty standard but for some reason, and not a fault of theirs, steamed, taqueria barbacoa differs from real, braised barbacoa that is made with various spices. Nevertheless, it's more tender than the asada and a better choice. Guacamole was nice, didn't seem to be any dairy added (a plus for some) as sometimes crema is added to keep it from browning ?. The fish disappoints, it it fried, dry and bland. Grilling would be a better option and more seasoning can be added. Overall, food is dependable and needing improvement. Seating and atmosphere reminds one of an old hot dog joint (it was previously one for decades) with wood paneling adorning the walls and stiff, stationary tables and benches.

Loved the tacos they were properly cooked. At first I was a little thrown off because the tacos are $4.25 each or so but honestly it was worth it. Service was great, it was very peaceful & not too over crowded or loud music. The tacos had lots of meat, I got full with two & I normally eat 4! So that was a surprise. I Will be coming here more often (: (i recommend the asada tacos)

Over all a great spot, good prices, and really good food. First my negative: ordered a side of beans, hijole frijole so much SALT in them. Seriously couldn't eat them.My neutral: the guacamole was good but it needed lime or something, good portion, at a good price just a bit blandMy positives: The staff were so nice, it's a great small neighborhood spot. My partner got a torta with asada. Smashed it- he said the bread was really fresh and good. Their asada is so flavorful too. I got a cauliflower taco- really fat and loaded, good flavor (minus the beans), a quesadilla (so cheesy stuffed), taco asada the meat was seriously some of the best I've had. Took home half of the quesadilla, and an al pastor taco I ordered. I wasn't expecting the tacos to be stuffed with that much meat. They were really really good. Also even though I did not love the guacamole, the chips that it came with were super fresh. Also they're hot sauce, the green one is the rain amount of spicy, and the red one it has a little bit of a smokey flavor it's super mild but it's just enough of a hint of something.Overall super solid food, if I ordered the guac I would just ask for extra limes on the side, and then the beans I would skip. But the tacos were amazing. They were out of Lengua so hopefully next time I'll be able to try that.
I went one time, and I am not planning on coming back. Their menu is pricey and the food it’s not the good.

Got the skirt steak platter literally 45 min ago and it was so good that I felt compelled to write a review. There’s so much food here that better man could make this last for 4 meals. The steak is extremely well seasoned and was grilled beautifully. Just a top notch meal
