What our guests are saying
Got the carnitas taco with hand made tortilla. It was delicious. The carnitas were crunchy yet moist and the tortilla was made as if grandma had made it. Come give them a try if you haven’t.

Delicious and large street tacos 😋 tortillas are size of a hand, not small palm size like standard street tacos. Al pastor is grilled not braised. Delicious chicken not dry. Good flavoring with the chorizo. Great place for a date or even family night ... Offers some outside tables. Thanks to the local for referring this place ☺️👌✨

I stopped here completely at random after seeing it on a gas station stop on a long roadtrip. They had the barbacoa special on Thursday, it came with 3 hand made tortillas that were to die for, and amazingly high quality barbacoa, rice, and beans. The agua fresca with lime and cilantro was delicious too! A total gem, and easily comparable to the last time I had home made mexican food in Tijuana! Don’t miss it!
