(Edit) The food USED to be good. It no longer is. This place is lo longer what it used to be. It used to be good food for cheap, now it’s bad food for expensive. $4 for a taco is way too much. The tortillas weren’t fully cooked, the onions weren’t caramelized. This used to be a hotspot and now it doesn’t nearly as many customers as before. If you came here previously stay away; you’ll be seriously disappointed in the regression that’s happened. The food is being rushed to be made with higher prices. This place has become a disappointment and has fallen from its former glory. Stay away.

Prices just got jacked up for food 4.00 a taco and 13.50 for a torta, I will miss this place but time to look for a new spot for tortas and tacos ✌️

My husband and I came here for the first time in a very long time and so much has changed. The portions are not what it use to be..the presentation and quality has diminished so much. The tortilla did not taste fresh, the pastor tacos were good but the meat was pretty much non existent. They literally did not fill up one of the chorizo tacos we bought. Incredibly disappointed and they need to do better. Can't say we will return.

tacos are very delicious but the time it takes for food to come out is ridiculous. i made an order of 13 tacos and it took them an hour and a half to get it out for me. when i tried to get refund they tried making seem like my food was about to come out. and in reality they took another 15 minutes to bring my food out. really bad and horrible experience.

It was ok, there was a lot of pork on the menu, if you don't eat pork or beef, there is only one chicken taco and cactus taco on the menu. The sauces are on point! This place is a local favorite, there will be a line and it's not just a quick pick up and go.

My first time there, the food is so good. This is a very popular spot. I have had the tacos as take out but they are definitely better freshly made.

The tacos are worth the trip ? and in the back they have some fruit smoothie stuff! The art and the music is spot on, and the spice level was something I am defiantly coming back for. ?

Worst tacos ever! I asked for tacos de carne asada. And had no flavor at all. Don’t recommend.

Beware of unsanitary practices.We have been going here for years and my husband goes out of his way to drive 30 mins to eat his tacos here. They are legit as they come.BUT when they eat in they give you a set of 3 dishes with their salsas and chiles in them. These are NOT cleaned or dumped between customers. My husband just watched an employee bring a used set inside and refill the salsas without dumping or cleaning out the leftover salsa from the last person. We're still in a pandemic, y'all, and even if we weren't, this would STILL be gross.

Incredible tacos!What stood out to me a was how perfectly each of the meats was cooked, none of them were dry or chewy. The two house made salsas were incredible, flavorful with just the right amount of spice.Sortido- perfectly cooked pork, chopped together into a melange of flavor and texture, served with a sprinkle of cilantro, paired perfectly with the salsa verde.Pastor - All about the seasonings, ribbons of heavily spiced pork, absent were the sugary pineapple chucks somewhat ubiquitous in Al Pastor, and all the better for it! This was some of the best Pastor I’ve ever had, elevated just a little more by the picante salsa roja ?Lengua - delicate flavor with a melt-on-your-tongue texture. A personal favorite.Suadero - suave beef, cooked to perfection and seasoned lightly, paired well with salted onions and spicy red salsa.Barbacoa - savory lamb with a rich molé. It had a discernible lamb flavor that might put some people off but if you enjoy lamb it’s worth getting two.Chorizo - soo flavorful, a well executed classic.Carnitas - still tender and moist, with perfectly crispy edges!I would absolutely eat here again, and would probably drive considerable distances to get these tacos.
