⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Juan Guevara
Great service very kind and it feels just like a home cozy small but is amazing. The steak tacos were one of the best tacos I've had in a long time I used to think my moms tacos were the best until I had these. The atmosphere was great there was not that much people but the waiters were really kind and excellent.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Lzz Johnk
I was craving a strip mall taco today and this place hit the spot. I had one chicken and one shredded beef with all the toppings, the tortillas were yummy, and everything came out super fast even though they were at the tail end of their lunch rush. Could do with a bit more spice, but they do not skimp on the meat! Great service, and a very delicious $6 worth of tacos! Will be back, for sure; gotta try the torta next.
*Update: took my partner here, and he loved the tacos, as well.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Mariana Hernandez
I ordered 3 tacos. Pastor my favorites ones 👌🏻 Salsa was really good, and had a lot of flavor.
The amount of meat on this is insane, a lot of it and I was completely full with just one taco.
Get a Jarritos and you are going to have a really nice dinner.

Good prices for tacos. They tacos were a good size as well. My kids loved em.
There's plenty of parking inside this busy plaza. They didn't give us limones for our tacos maybe we shoulda asked other thn that the place is small decent definitely coming back to try more of their food items and maybe sit and eat there! Steak tacos were an 8/10.
