The food is literally amazing! I actually discovered this place because the guys that redid my roof today brought some to my house and shared. I went back for dinner! This is way better than my usual Taqueria spot, and way more affordable

The food is very good. I usually get barbacoa or fajitas tacos they both taste good and would recommend it to anyone. My wife gets the GORDITA and loves it. My daughter loves the chorizo and egg taco and I've tasted them and yes it tastes good. The lady who owns the place is very nice and glad that they are still here serving in this area. We are so lucky to have such great food so close to home.
