That neighborhood hole-in-the-wall with down-home cooking from the ladies in the kitchen. ..reasonable prices. ..busy during lunch. ..extra parking on the side...don't expect fancy just favorful...loved the rice. Beans and freshly-made tortillas
April 2019
It's a hole in the wall with some amazingly good tacos for $2 ea. It's the first time I've ever had a chicharrones taco and it was amazing. The tortillas are homemade, the rice and beans have a ton of flavor. The food looks to be largely Dominican style but includes some Mexican favorites.It's nothing fancy, and it helps if you know a bit of Spanish when ordering. But, the food is so good it's totally worth trying this spot even if it's just grabbing...
