Food was really good! Had a very nice hole in the wall kind of feel. Good music playing too.

I got one of each style of taco, 2 steak 1 chicken tinga. The meat was full of smoky flavor, tender, and they weren’t stingy! The generous toppings pair well with the meat, the tradicional was my favorite style. I love the simple ordering style. The place itself is inviting, clean, with a nice vibe in a historic building. Service was fast and friendly. Thank you Lil Hombre for serving the night owls of Clayton!

Small place with limited menu options. I enjoyed my $5 little tacos while sitting at the bar.
As I watch the preparation of many orders I was taken back by the cross contamination of allergens.
The cook used the same utensils across several orders. They also scorch cheese on the taco shells on the same flat top they grilled the meat and veggies on.
Dietary restrictions: Food allergy cross contamination is highly possible by the way tacos are prepared

SO good! 😋 the portioning for their tacos is much larger than any street taco joint I’ve been to.

We had a late lunch/early dinner here and really enjoyed it. The food was great, interior was fun in its design, and had the pleasure of great conversation with our server, Maya. Will be back!

It's alright. If you're a traditionalist, this is not the spot for you. Tacos were good but oversalted but full of meat 🙂↕️ the night I dined. Paid roughly $29 for 4 tacos, soda and 20% tip. Won't be coming back since value and taco taste are both outmatched by other options 15 minutes away. Bartender that night was unbothered by my patronage and I asked for everything to order. They didn't even bother to ask if I'd like a drink.

The atmosphere was good, the taco meats were very tasty, the service was phenomenal. Sally and Darian waited on my husband and I, personable, nice chit chat, we really didn't have to ask for a thing, they were on top of everything, and just the sweetest. Cross your fingers you get these lovely ladies to wait on you!!
