The location is next to the 7/11 parking lot. We ordered shrimp and fish tacos. Both the fish and shrimp tacos were deep-fried, and I couldn't taste much difference between them. The fish was a tilapia fish. What stood out the most was the fried oil, and the spicy jalapeño. It was too fried for my taste. I wish he had a grill.

They also have pancita and moronga. While the lamb was tender, it was just way too game-y in taste for us. The generous cup of consommé had an interested flavor to it, and wasn't really needed. However, the star is their homemade/handmade tortillas - these were probably one of the best tortillas we've ever had! Staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the line does build up. I love that they are open early in the morning, but they do take some time in setting up, so try to get there about 20+ minutes past their stated opening time. Communal tables are set up, so you can definitely enjoy before you go on your way; we saw a lot of patrons getting their orders to go.

I went at 5:30pm on a Thursday when there was no wait.  A pleasant bearded man with limited English comprehension but more than enough to take an order told me 10 minutes when I ordered the lamb. He threaded pieces of lamb brined in what looks like salt & red paprika powder on to a metal skewer.  Then put the lamb meat over smoldering mesquite charcoal which infused a very delicate smokiness. Meat is moist with a good meaty chaw. Lamb was mild & didn't have gaminess.  Biggest Lavash flatbread that was leathery, extremely thin, airy yet had strong enough tensile strength to hold the inside food without breaking open.  He placed the lamb, chopped cilantro, thin sliced onions, squirt of possibly herbed aïoli. Then he rolled the Lavash like a Sushi roll.  Portion is rather large and would make for a more than decent meal. There is a slight pleasant burn from chiles that slowly sneaks up on you. Includes a drink. I chose Classic Coke in a 7oz can.  Definitely a 4 star street food experience which may hark back to Yerevan. Open from 5pm-2am. It would make for a great late night snack.
