One of my favorite places for tacos. Great price, great people and even better tacos. There is always a futbol game on and it is what you would expect for yummy street tacos. Don't miss out before it this place before the secret is out!

If you are looking for a hole in the wall place that has the best street tacos in Utah, this is the place! The burritos are also really good. My only regret is not finding this place sooner. I will be back often.

This is my favorite taco place in all of Provo, not only are the tacos authentic and delicious, but you can get them in every type of meat. Tongue, chicken, pork, asada, etc. Plus the staff is very nice. Also their Jamaica juice is amazing and the atmosphere is chill and fun, 10/10 for over all experience.

This place is a HIDDEN GEM here in Provo. It's cheap, and super authentic! The street tacos are great, and their quesadillas are to die for! This is one of me and my friends go to local spots.

It looks a little worrying, as others have said, but once you get your food it all goes away. $1.25/street taco and they double layer the shells so that they don't fall apart when you want lots of sauce. It would be five stars if the restaurant itself was a little more tidy

Best quesadillas in Provo! Definitely in my top 5 for tacos and quesadillas in Utah. I moved to Provo so that I could be within walking distance of this paradise for my tastebuds. Friendly service, cheap, and incredibly delicious!

We saw great reviews for this place on Yelp, but honestly got worried once we walked inside. It's a little hole in the wall, there were no customers and we could only see 1 woman at the counter - no one else in sight. So glad we stayed. Large portions, low cost, food ready super fast, and great taste. My wife had a steak casadilla and I had the Hurache with asada. Both really good. The homemade chips and salsa were both terrific. Will definitely return here!

I've tried all the street tacos in Provo and these ones are the only ones that leave me saying "wow". The meat is delicious and their salsas are my favorite of any taco shops here in Provo. The onions and cilantro aren't as fresh as some other places and it isn't as clean and up-to-date as other places but their tacos are still my favorite.

Don't judge by appearances, the food is incredible. Yeah, it's a hole-in-the-wall and not well-maintained but they have the best chicken tacos I've ever tasted; and I used to work in Mexico and Los Angles. Their carne asada is also quite good and the sopes and huaraches are huge!

★★★★☆ 4/5
Authentic good mexican food. The prices are great. The quesadilla is YUUGE. Love the cart in the middle to add all the extra toppings. The only complaint I have is that I sometimes get fat and gristle in the meat. This is generally true with authentic mexican, but can be a turn off.
