“ Small taco shop with amazing food! One of the best tacos I’ve had so far! Bistek, pastor, tripas, barbacoa, and chicharron verde taco were excellent! Tacos were not greasy, they were savory, salty, and hint of lime, we ate 12 tacos in 3 minutes Prices are fair, shop is clean, and staff were friendly. My favorites were the tripas and chicharron verde. Happy eating! ”
