I tried this local taco spot and honestly… it hit the spot! The food came out hot, fresh, and super flavorful. I got the three-taco dinner with rice and beans, plus guacamole with chips and a Diet Coke — came out to about $28, and it was worth it.

The tacos were loaded, the seasoning was on point, and everything tasted really clean. The guacamole was fresh and creamy, and they give you good-sized chips. It’s also really close to my house, which makes it...

First time trying this local spot. Small storefront with a few tables inside, and some tables and umbrellas outside. Ordered an al pastor bowl and a 3 taco dinner for $25, so not bad at all. Steak was delicious in the taco, charred and flavorful. Chicken was cooked well and the green sauce to add was delicious. Rice and beans weren't an afterthought and were delicious as well. Will definitely be back to try more. Discount for using cash!

This place is fantastic! I love the chicken tacos here. But I have also had the steak tacos, and the steak burrito and everything is good. The red sauce they give you with the tacos is so flavorful too. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try!
