Amazing food with great service! Staff was super kind, and the portions were very well sized. I got the chilaquiles and did not take a picture because I was too busy eating them. I cannot recommend this place enough! The food is amazing for the price!

Los tacos mejor de la ciudad 🤩 I have become a regular here because the Al Pastor tacos perfectly hit the spot. Not too salty nor bland, and the meat is soft too! So flavorful - I used to go all the way into the city for Los Tacos No. 1 but think I have discovered the real No. 1 spot. Have not felt the need to go anywhere elsewhere.
