We stumbled upon this baby! Turned a corner saw a huge sign pointing us into the parking lot. They get a solid 4 stars. We ordered a torta asada, burrito asada, and 2 chicken tacos. All of them were delicious! The steak was seasoned to perfection. Their salsa bar was fresh. We tried several sauces but honestly everything was good without them. I am definitely going back! They charge a full dollar for cheese and .30 for take out (had to take a star for that)

Went here for the first time this week. Haven’t had good tacos since I left California. These tacos were excellent. Cashier was very polite and courteous. Will return and I told my family and friends

Really good tacos and taquitos. Just don't order a bottled Coke, it's $3.19. 😭

This is a hole in the wall but the tacos (especially the Al Pastor with cheese and pineapple) are SO good! You know it’s authentic when there’s always a soccer game on the TV and they will never ask you if you want flour tortillas.
I’ll often find myself making an excuse to come run an errand this way just so I can get the tacos here. The staff is friendly but pretty much only speaks Spanish. Don’t miss the condiments bar and some of the delicious incredibly spicy salsas.

Traveling and I stopped to get tacos, everything was fresh and good, including the consome de res.
And very friendly.

The al pastor taco with pineapple and cheese was amazing. These are authentic tacos and the food was reasonably priced. The chicken tacos were a bit dry but nothing that some salsa couldn't fix. The tres leches was good as well and not overly sweet and wasn't dry at all. I highly recommend this place for tacos!

Soooo glad my friend and I stopped by. Not going to lie I was skeptical of giving this place a try because I’ve had food at two of the other locations and they were very mediocre. However, this location is DELICIOUS!! Hands down some of the best barbacoa tacos ever. The meat was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. And they weren’t skimpy either. I ended up getting a barbacoa burrito togo because it was that good. And again they PACKED it with meat. I would skip the asada/bistec tacos though. They lacked flavor and were dry imo. My friend had the al pastor tacos and she said this is the best taco she’s had since Mexico. The agua de mango was decent. They also have a good selection of salsa (green creamy salsa is my fav!!), crema, and toppings. On top of all that! They’re super affordable (in inflation terms lol) in comparison to a lot of place. 3 tacos + agua de mango was $12 bucks!! The burrito was $8!! The cashier was nice and spoke a little English. She tried her best which I appreciated. So bring your manners if you decide to visit!! All in all, I love this place!! And it’s not too far from me either. Fingers crossed they’re on Ubereats >.<. Def give them a try!!

This was my first time eating here. The restaurant was clean, fairly spacious and had plenty of parking.
There is an ample selection of menu options, most of which are various types of tortas, but tacos and other items are available as well.
I ordered the Toluqueña which was great. It's a little spicy, but not too much. Just the right amount to give it a nice taste.

Delicious tacos for a great price! The truck is not there Sundays. The random people I ate with on the picnic table really just saw this searching where to eat off the highway just like me lol the owner of the truck asks for my feedback. Oh they also ask if you like watermelons and give you a some as a side dish at no extra charge.
