I like this place, make sure to check your take out order before leaving though, because sometimes they forget some stuff ordered or it's still sitting on the counter and never put in the bag. They have great fresh fruit drinks! I highly recommend the cantaloupe one

Tacos are SO GOOD!!! I always get the al pastor with everything on them, and sometimes chips & guac too. The corn tortillas are so delicious and soft (they make them in-house maybe?), and the tortilla chips are freshly fried with your order. The flavors are great in the tacos, the salsas they have are delicious, and I will continue coming here when I get a craving for some delicious authentic tacos. I usually buy 4 and it’s only like $11!! Go to any restaurant in DC or Old Town and 4 tacos would be like $20 lol. You have to try this place!! I can’t say enough good things.

really good authentic Mexican! The food came out pretty quickly, the girl taking our order was really nice. Nothing was overpriced and the portions were a good size. Definitely will recommend to anyone and plan on coming again

The carne asada was super tasty and cooked perfectly. The beans and rice were also great and fresh. My boyfriend spent 30 minutes driving us around to find this place because he couldn’t remember where it was the first time he went.

I've known about this spot for about 10 years now and I can tell you this is authentic Mexican food, the guys who make the goodies are really from Mexico so they know grandma recipes, I didn't know about their catering service till recently so I decided to place a big order of delicious tacos, I called them a day before my reunion just to make sure if I had to pay some sort of deposit or something, but no, they didn't require that for my order, the tacos were on time and everybody in my reunion were amazed with the tacos. 👍

The biggest reason this doesn't get 4 stars for me is the quality of the meat. It's just not that tasty. Tastes kind of cheap. The corn tortillas are excellent, toppings good, hot sauces ok. One of the best things here is their fresh juice, try the pineapple.

Tried this out based on reviews, they did not disappoint! Had three chicken tacos that were great. The green sauce they have is OK, but the red is good stuff. HIGHLY recommend the the pineapple juice! I'm Def going back for the juice!
