Totally legit taco place with some very invalid reviews. Seriously, some of these reviews are by people that have no idea what a good taco is or just skipped the salsa bar. They have a real Al Pastor spit and and their Carnitas is super flavorful and juicy- Chorizo is great and Asada is well done and tender. They give you the tacos bare with just meat on tortillas and let you dress them up. That's awesome! Huge bar of toppings, all you need! Onions, cilantro, salsas and jalapeños. Lines and radishes. It's a great place.Go try them and give them 5 stars. They're at a 4.1 thanks to dumb reviews by people that don't know a good taco from Del Taco.

FINALLY!!! I finally found more good solid tasting Mexican food in the valley!!! If you like Tacos El Rey (the truck) go here!!!! The rice is tender and beans are flavorful. I had the fish tacos and they were amazing. The queso birria tacos melted in your mouth. And don't forget the verde avocado salsa at the bar!!! We got a basket of chips with our order and.... If you can't read the rotating menu, they have cards of it by the register.

I love the amazing al pastor tacos on a spit grilled they are amazing and filled with flavor , I also love the salsa bar and the complementary chips it comes with … Don’t forget to order the queso brirar tacos and carne asada torta

This is not from my experience but it’s my brothers.They came her today and got the shrimp dish with whatever is on it besides the “flautas” which don't even look like flautas and a coke and got charged 22$.All ima say is it looks like you guys put tomato sauce on the shrimp and,that,that shi don’t look appetizing .

I stopped in here last weekend for the first time. The place is clean and the staff was very friendly. I was pleasantly surprised to see an actual vertical spit stacked with al pastor. I ordered an al pastor burrito which came as a tortilla stuffed with meat. All the toppings, like tomato, onion lettuce and salsa were self serve. The al pastor was very tasty, tender with just the right amount of crispy edges. I will definitely be back to try out the rest of the menu. If I can tear myself away from the al pastor!

Really want to like this new local place but the first visit didn’t go great. Ordered “chicken tacos” off the menu and apparently they take that very literally. For $8 I got two tortillas with just chicken ?. I’m not sure if it was a mistake or they really just come this way. Make sure to clarify if you go! Staff was friendly.

Spent half my lunch break waiting to order and there was only 2 ppl in front of me. Food is basic and over priced. No flavor. Should have just went to Del Taco and got the same for for half the price. Wont be back.

Was really hoping this would be a good spot since it’s like the only taco shop near us. Unfortunately was disappointed. The rolled tacos are $13 which includes 3 half taquitos. My kids watched as they microwaved the taquitos. The Al Pastor tacos came with only tortillas and meat. No toppings, onions, or anything. Total cost for family of 6 was $90 including drinks and we were all still hungry afterwards. Taco shop charging gourmet prices. Came to $15 per person. No thanks. Was the first and last time for us.

If would give a zero if possible. WAY over priced for what you get. We order 4 items with no drinks and it was $60! One item was just a tortilla with beans, cheese and rice - they charged $10.99!!! I have no problem spending the money if the food is worth it...there are a bunch of other restaurants around that not only taste better, but are way cheaper. Save your money and go else where.

This is literally the worse experience I’ve had in food in my entire life. Everything is horrible and if you see the prices it’s outrageous. If you wanna have the worse experience In your life go there.. it’s worth seeing how bad it is in person.
