This was my first time here. This place was highly recommended by a few friends. The service was good and fast. Staff was not too friendly. The beans were really good and had a lot of meat. The tacos were average. Nothing to special to me at less. Next time I should try something different. Safe Travels. Prost

Been in town for work the last 2 weeks and stopped here. The service was fantastic and the food was wonderful. Music is good and not too loud. So great I had to go back which is where I'm typing this from and I've already decided before I leave I'm going again and this will be my last meal so I can savor it.

Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 If you're looking for delicious authentic tacos that isn't a food truck, but indoors this is the place to go. Personally, if the restaurant is filled with natives then you're in the right place. Other than the owner(?) most do not speak English, however the servers are very understanding and patient with additional orders. Overall the place has amazing vibes, especially at 1AM in the morning. I highly recommend checking this place out.

So Ive had this place to try out ever since my friend mentioned this place to me but until now I have finally had the chance. I was super surprised at how big this place is, it has a ton of seating so that won't be an issue. You have to order your food at the front and pay, they will bring your order out to you. We got regular breakfast tacos and tacos Al vapor as well as frijoles charros and let me tell y'all those were delicious! Everything was great, the flavor and the spiciness of the salsas. Definitely worth a try.

Everything here is so good. Authentic taqueria straight from Mexico. Their tacos al vapor are my weakness. Literally every single thing on the menu is amazing. Desserts aren’t so great but maybe since I ordered my later at night it may not have been so fresh.
