Clean, friendly, organized, and good food! Had 3 different tacos; they were great and the sauce(yes, one of them is h-hot!)! Can't wait to try some other foods, there! Generally a take-out place with a couple of seats for eat-in! They seem extremely efficient in putting out their product!

Taco heaven! I would go the ends of the earth for good tacos and these are fantastic.I arrived right at 5p on a Saturday and walked right up to the counter. The menu is on the wall behind counter and they have paper menus as well. Nice clean common areas with a small bar and a few stools and a single round table by the door. That have Mexican soft drinks and desserts in a case.My order was 6 hardshell tacos (all with cilantro and onions)(2) Tinga (shredded chicken)(2) Carnitas (pulled pork)(2) Carne Molida (ground beef)I was told it would take 5 minutes and I feel it was maybe only 3 minutes before it was ready. I was offered a choice of salsa and I chose the red and given two small containers which was plenty for 6 tacos.After transporting home about 12 minutes, my two Tinga shells had softened, which I expected knowing Tinga is generally very juicy. They were still fantastic. I used the red sauce on the carnitas and beef, and it gave a nice little kick, with some post lip numbing. It had a wonderful Smokey flavor and was clearly not from a jar!The entire meal of 6 tacos was a little over $20, which I feel everywhere I go, $3 a taco is the going rate. They were each stuffed so I feel it was worth it.One thing I will note, that I overheard from the counter person, if you want tamales, you need to call in the morning to order them, because they are limited and go very early.I really enjoyed the tacos and it’s an easy parking lot to get in and out of, compared to some other smaller store fronts along the strip.This place is surely going to give the other authentic Mexican restaurant in Thorndale a run for the money.

This place is Fantastic! W ow I am so glad that I had a fiance from Puerto Rico introduce me to the place. I must have driven by it a thousand times and never even noticed it. the grilled chicken tacos on the corn tortillas with onion and cilantro ...are out of this world ! ( Add thr green sauce) Excellent every single time (consistent) and I go weekly sometimes twice a week you can't beat the price the service is excellent the tacos are excellent I can't say enough good about them I'm not a big Beefeater but I do occasionally switch to the beef taco which are also excellent. Service is Speedy the atmosphere is friendly and very, very clean.. Best kept hidden secret in Downingtown..in Chester County..in my opinion.

For authentic Mexican tacos, this is your place in Chester County! My husband and 2 sons got the steak and I got the grilled shrimp and they were both delicious. I also got the flan with chocolate cake on the bottom and that was delicious. Service was good and food came out quick. Wish there was more seating, but that was my only complaint.

First time and how did I not know that this has been open for over a year?!? Clean and organized ordering, bar seats for 10 and two tables for 3 and 2, and truly "express" in terms of timing are accuracy. Fish tacos with the chipotle aioli were crispy and balanced by the freshness of the avocado and pico de gallo. Habanero side sauce was the bomb. Husband loved his tinga burrito, commenting that the chicken had a great smokiness ... big menu selection! We will be back.

Really great spot. In a world that loves fast food bowls, this is a more traditional Mexican spot than Qdoba or Chipotle. That being said I think they did try to make it more American to get that crowd. The restaurant is small but clean, menu is bright and easy to place orders. Everyone is friendly. Chips were good, salsa was not bad, hoping they will make it chunkier, but hot salsa is seriously hot.
