Customer Reviews
I had 5 barbacoa tacos and a medium horchata for $16. Actually this is a great value. The tacos were regular size (not street tacos) and full of meat. In addition to adding onions and cilantro to the tacos the restaurant included lime, a large jalapeño, and grilled onions to my plate. They provide their salsa in baggies which is a negative because they make a mess when opened. The barbacoa was good but lacking that deep barbacoa flavor. The horchata was yummy! I did not notice any trace of cinnamon in the flavor. I definitely will return and next time will only get three tacos! UPDATE: Second visit I ordered carnitas plate (comes with rice and beans). It was delicious and the corn tortillas are home made! Street tacos are 5 for $10. I'll try those next!
Hidden gem. Great set up, almost missed it when I was looking for it, but glad I found it. Excellent barbocoa, and chorizo tacos! Horchata was good. The presentation was very nice, and the salsa, lemons and onions were all fresh and delicious. I will definitely be back the next time I’m in the area. Very nice servers as well.
Omar and Leti give great customer service & always have a smile on their face. The food is AMAZING!! It is very authentic mexican street food & they even do food specials some days. My favorite meal to get is Tacos al Pastor and an Agua de Horchata to accompany it😋 Highly recommend!!
Hands down the best tacos and food in town!!!!!! The service is always great and the owners are the best! 10/10 recommend their tacos al pastor (my favorite) and their salsa verde is to die for!!!
The tacos de suadero are so good but what makes it even better is the horchata is so good. I have never had horchata this good it makes every other horchata I have tried taste terrible. I just for the horchata honestly.
