Really underrated taqueria, Place is a solid 4.5, no way is it 3.9. Affordable high quality food. Their fajitas are great, cocktails de camarones is better than competitors. Great price for everything considering it’s spring 2026. I got super full and had leftovers for $20. Don’t sleep on this place.

Really good food. I've been coming here with my family for a while and haven't been able to come eat here in a while, but we recently came back and the food just gets better. I ordered their chilaquiles with carne asada and this place just knows how to make them.
Will continue to keep coming and enjoying the food!

This place was delicious! Sopes, chalupa, chips, salsa, relleno, carne guisada, and enchiladas: ALL GOOD. Service was totally fine, we got checked on by multiple people. Pay at the counter, I believe. Don't be one of those idiots who sits around getting angry because you're afraid to ask questions or get up out of your seat.
