I ordered 10 tacos and wanted green sauce the lady taking my order doesn't speak good English and the cook looked at her and did some kinda of hand movements like I was stupid. I asked for green sauce she told me it was to my left behind the register I saw carrots and limes and a bunch of flies tacos were dry no sauce and bad service never eat here

★★★★★ 5.0 Kyle Samuelson · Sep 2018

Very well kept restaurant overall. Clean on the outside, clean on the inside, kitchen looks clean and well maintained. All tables bolted to the ground, very sturdy, no wobbly tables. New granite counter tops, very clean. Everything organized, and topped off. Feels very welcoming. Seems like authentic Mexican food, non-Americanized. Clients are mostly Spanish speaking Mexicans. Menu with prices painted onto wall, looks nice. Good prices. Very simple restaurant with a very good execution.

Pretty good tacos in this neighborhood. Cabeza and al pastor are delicious. Buche is a little bit gamey. Lengua is my least favorite. Red salsa is spicier than green. Horchata is tasty as always.

I am not picky at all but these were the worst tacos I've ever had, Buche was disgusting and the al pastor was watery and borderline flavorless and on top of that the lady at the front overcharged me, she charged me like 4 drinks and i only got 2 and the onions in the salsa bar looked old. Never waste your money here. Disgusting. ***update**** They even charged my card twice, forsure don't go to this location.
