“ This has always been one of my favorite spots to get some tacos at an affordable price. Throughout tree years, they have increased their prices, but are still among the most affordable ones in town. The flavor and quality of the tacos here are just amazing. This visit, I only opted for three tacos- carne asada, chorizo, and pastor. All three were wonderful! They also have some fresh made sauces to go with the tacos that are just unbelievable. ”
“ Been coming here for years. Great tacos and burritos. It gets really busy here so bring your patience with you. It is not pretty ... The lighting is horribly fluorescent, but it feels authentic - like a taco place you could find in Mexico. Sometimes you find the best food in ugly places. Don't let how it looks stop you. Good prices and decent people watching. ”
“ Fantastic food. Authentic food and atmosphere. Felt like I was transported from Portland to Mexico or elsewhere in Latin America. Just wish we would have noticed the sauces to the side of the counter where you place your order. The chorizo and asada burritos were amazing good, but with a little added sauce they would have been over the top fantastic! Loved the authentic store associated with the restaurant. Bought a chonca pastry and can't wait to try it. Have to wait as the burittos were so good and filling!! Highly recommend this place!! ”
