Their tacos are mid. Overhyped and overpriced IMO. I’ve have better street tacos over by NKU. It’s pretty small inside, so not suitable for large groups

My wife and I tried this place while being there for their Tacos, Vatos, Y Lowriders car show and were very happy with the food. The place was absolutely packed because of the show and Mexican independence day but we still got our food pretty quickly and it was delicious. I think the Churro was the best I have ever had.

Vegetarian options: My wife had a vegan taco and loved it.

They are my favorite Mexican restaurant on planet Earth. After a rare glitch recently, which was because they're crooked gone back to Mexico, my recent meal was back to its wonderful excellent mess. The lingua, beef, tongue, burrito was outstanding. Tender, taste like mushrooms, and of course excellent margaritas. I had the blackberry. Jordon really hooked me up, and she and the rest of the staff were nice as can be. I've lived in the Silicon Valley, so I've had some pretty incredible Mexican Fare. Thanks so much for hooking me up, listening to my prior feedback, and making it so I can once again give my highest ratings to all my friends, that this is the place to be. There's a reason there's often a line outside the front door, waiting to eagerly get in, During summer and sometime spring. Muchas Gracias amigos.

Parking: Typically, plenty of parking on the street to be had, and the side street if you need.

There Birria tacos are good but are better in house they are very greasy when takeout. I highly recommend the carne asada Guti fries i comes with guac but when door dashing it’s a 50/50 you’ll actually get it. Highly recommend i’ve eaten here more than i can count!!

I have given this place more ‘second’ chances than anywhere else in town. I really wanted to like it. On the extremely rare occasion that I have been given what I ordered (usually after sending my food back 2-3 times) it has been good. But given the price and aggravation, I think this place just burned me for the last time. If you’re into paying $40+ for basic chips and tacos, don’t mind sitting a foot from the bathroom, and can deal with the simplest of orders confusing the incapable staff, go for it. The verde salsa is excellent.

Edit: since I can’t reply to Olla’s response. You guys have messed my order up more times than I can count. Seriously, no less than 10 times. 3 in a single trip. My order is insanely simple. I order birria tacos with bean instead of beef. How complicated is that? The high school kids at Taco Bell couldn’t even screw that order up. The fact that you’re blaming this on me is telling. Your establishment does not care about customer experience whatsoever. I look forward to visiting whatever establishment takes over that corner when you close.

I guess I’ll edit to reply again. You have made this order for me quite a few times. You had no problem taking my money when I ordered it tonight. I did not agree to the order that was given to me, nor did I feel like getting back in line to argue in front of people eating dinner. My 2 star review just dropped to 1. I’d give 0 if it were an option.
