ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! We were on a search for some authentic steak tacos, and let me tell you, this place is Amazing!! The steak tacos were hot, juicy,and bursting with flavor! The burrito was full of succulent steak, rice, beans, and more. (Husband loved it) The hamburger is also full of flavor. The chips and salsa are made fresh daily. The owners are such wonderful people, very kind, and the service is A. They also have a taco truck open in the evening, with outdoor patio seating, bright lights, and music. Great food, priced right.

I started coming to this place before they opened the restaurant. It was my absolute favorite then and things have stayed refreshingly consistent to this day. The addition of the restaurant only provides more delicious options. The staff, from the owners to the restaurant employees have all paid me nothing but respect and kindness. I understand coming into an establishment of any kind requires one to give respect in order to receive it. I’ve not only found my forever favorite tacos in the entire city, I’ve learned so many things about a different culture and that in itself is worth a visit and quick conversation at the counter. These folks feel like family. The best tacos I have had in 8 years since my street taco journey began. Thank you all for great service and delicious food every time! I didn’t even mention the portion size on the tacos. Incredibly generous compared to others around. Parking adequate for the size of the establishment. Cleanliness inside and out 10/10 and thats saying something for this area. These people care and they bring culture and cuisine at its finest.

Late night tacos are amazing! I like that their truck is parked in front of their restaurant. Watching them move dishes back and forth gives me a sanitation peace of mind. 10/10 would recommend!

This was my first time coming to this restaurant and these tacos did not disappoint me at all. The steak had good seasoned flavor wasn’t dry at all. Their sauces were delicious but I specially loved the red sauce more. It’s hard now and days to find a good taco spot but I would definitely come back again. The cookers did their thing
