Love this store / restaurant / takeout They make amazing carnitas and barbacoa. !!!They have it all week long not just the weekend!!! They also sell tamales and masa so you can make your own tamales,, masa has good flavor not too greasy.

Honestly, the best tacos in all of NWI! Even though it is a small taqueria, their food it’s delicious! Good portions… and the chilaquiles… OMG… old fashioned! No local restaurant comes close to their food! The molcajete salsa… my husband and I have made a tradition to go there every Sunday after church!

This place is good and has a variety of things. The girls when you purchase are not friendly..They are always gossiping and everytime I ask questions and they never answer. I asked the price for something and they straight up ignored me and just put a random price. Luckily the carniceros are old fashioned hard working men and will take your order fast. It's also very cleaned compared to other meat places around the area. Has more variety than stacks. Love this lil hole in the wall but them ladies need to be retrained. They to worried about gossip and their looks. And it's Ike look I just want to get my stuff and go.

Love this store! They have everything you need. Nice meat dept for grilling fajitas and/or chicken. All meat is marinated for homemade tacos. Mexican candies and cookies. Even a store front restaurant. Nothing fancy, but the food is delicious and not overpriced.

★★★★★ 5.0 Krystal Anne Lontoc · Jan 2019

Absolutely loved the food. Tacos were huge and stuffed with meat. Definitely will return again. The table area could have been wiped down a bit, but it didn't bother me much. Price was fair. Boyfriend got the chicharon and salsa. Meat was nice and tender and that was delicious too. I do shop here every once and a while, store is clean, organized, and things are easy to find.
