I was out riding and ended up in West Orange when I realized my go-to taco spot on Uber Eats was right nearby. Had to stop in instead of just ordering online. This place is the definition of mom-and-pop—nothing fancy, just cozy, with food that hits hard at prices anyone can get behind. The tacos were excellent, and that mystery green sauce? Game-changer.

It’s a pretty good lunch place! I like the salsa and crema it adds flavor

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by Sonya, who was taking orders with a warm smile and exceptional kindness. Her attentiveness and great recommendations added to the delightful experience. I decided to try the shrimp tacos based on Sonya's suggestion, and they did not disappoint. Each taco was generously loaded with perfectly cooked shrimp, nestled in a soft corn tortilla and topped with fresh onions and cilantro or mixed cabbage. The side of salsa verde and aioli was the perfect complement, adding a burst of flavor to every bite. With four tacos per order, it was a satisfying and hearty meal. The guacamole and chips were ano
