Tamales

“FINALLY ON THE MAP!!! I cannot say enough good about this place. I love the food and the owners too! They are very kind and friendly folk.They're serving good quality meat that you don't always see from a food truck nor even a permanent restaurant for that matter. The flavors can't be beat. That creamy green sauce and the carnitas go together like peas and carrots. Bursting with flavor! The scald on that milanese is perfection!I have raved on this little piece of heaven since the first bite. I gifted their tamales around for Christmas and every person asked for their location. Do Not wait any longer, stop by and let these people fill your bellies!!! You won't regret it!“

“I've been on the hunt for the best street tacos in town, and I think I've finally found them. This little taco stand is tucked away in a corner of the city, but it's definitely worth seeking out. The carne asada tacos are my absolute favorite. The meat is perfectly grilled and seasoned, and the tortillas are warm and soft. The birria tacos are also amazing. The meat is so tender and flavorful, and the broth is rich and delicious. But what really sets these tacos apart is the attention to detail. The tortillas are made fresh every day, and the meat is cooked to perfection. The toppings are also perfectly balanced, and the salsas are homemade and flavorful. If you're looking for the best street tacos in town, look no further. This little taco stand is sure to satisfy your cravings. I’ve been visiting here since it opened in Franklin and I am happy to see it expand!“

“Excellent! From start to finish, our experience was outstanding. We were seated snd served quickly, the drinks and food were delicious, the atmosphere was charming, and the staff went the "extra mile" for us. My son tried one of the Margarita flight boards, and I had a regular Margarita. We were both very happy with our choices. I asked for a food item that wasn't on the menu (carnitas burrito). They didn't hesitate to make sure I got exactly what I wanted. I haven't been able to find a carnitas burrito that perfect in over 30 years!! My son ordered a chimichanga, which he said was also perfectly cooked (just lightly fried). It was Mother's Day, so they surprised me with a fabulous creme filled dessert, which included a very delicious vanilla ice cream, and they brought me a beautiful long stemmed rose. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience in any way!

Parking: This restaurant is in a small shopping center.“

“100% best street tacos I've had in a very long time. Bonus points for a drive through. The crispy taco shell was fried fresh and unbelievably tasty. Ground beef was perfectly seasoned and just the right amount of moisture. Carne asada was so tender. No indoor seating, but has a nice patio with umbrella tables. I'm visiting family and the guy at the airport car rental told me to go here. He was not wrong.“

“This place was great! I saw another review mentioning that they were from San Diego and approved of the food here so I had to try as a San Diego native myself (born and raised as well). And I agree with their review! This place has great Mexican food!

Now that two San Diego natives have said it’s good, YOU have to try it!“

“Food is almost always great, but when it's bad it's bad. If the chips are burnt (which has happened like 5+ times) you can already know it's not going to be a great meal. Employees are ok but sometimes just trying real hard to get you to drive off. When it's good though -which is quite often- it's fire.“
