“Number one since a long time ago. The chicken is legendary, best in the city. Savory, tender, magical mix of seasoning and marinade. Everything on the menu is A+. I usually order a half chicken meal and three tacos. Other times I go for the full chicken dinner and two tacos. Don’t think twice; this is the spot.“

“Fantastic food. Great place to take a group. Unfortunately disappointed with our experience with their catering menu. Ordered the mixed fajita tray for a get together. I like vegetables, don’t get me wrong, but $175 is a lot of money to spend for a chance to sift through peppers and onions in order to find the actual toppings. Had to be over 50% veggies.“

“I decided to try this place after seeing it listed on Instagram as a top 10 taco spot.I tried their pork Tacos, birria Tacos, chicken Tacos and chicken Nachos.I was most eager to try the birria Tacos and most disappointed to find they didn't come with the sauce/dip. I went back up to the counter to ask about it and was told they don't give it out with those tacos. He gave me some pork juice to dip my tacos in instead. The birria meat was quite dry. The pork juice/oil helped a bit to add flavor and juices. I wouldn't order them again.The chicken and pork Tacos were also just OK. Nothing special.I was most impressed by the nachos. It's a gigantic portion of food that could easily be shared by multiple people and the price was cheap at ten bucks.The customer service was lacking because there was quite a language barrier. Items were added to my order that I didn't order and the person taking my order wasn't able to answer most of my questions. I think it's important to speak Spanish or you are quite familiar with this food truck menu to fully enjoy this business.They have several locations, maybe I'll try the other locations to see if their tacos are top ten tier.Parking: The parking lot is quite congested because this location is in a Plaza that has a busy store and ice cream shop.“

“I love trying new Mexican places, especially the whole in the wall... mom and pop places. Everything is homemade. NEVER ever had a salsa that tasted like theirs. I am a hot fan... it may be a little spicy for some. This place has been here for 43 years. Well they are in a new building. They were a few over, but there was a fire and now in a new building. What drew me in was the pictures on how they hook up the tostadas. To my surprise they actually have the goooddd tacos. MmmmmGo bless/support your local, small places. This is cash only establishment and they are opened everyday 10 to 7pm.“
