    Shredded Chicken Taco
    Ulyana K.

    The place served some pretty decent food. Prices are very reasonable and the portions are quite big. I dined in. The service was also very good. The waitress was attentive and very friendly, so definitely props to her. I tried their shredded chicken tacos as well as the carnitas plate, which came with salad, rice, and beans, and I tried a bit of a friend's nachos. The chicken tacos were pretty solid. Not the best I've had, but they did the job. The chicken wasn't too dry and had a decent amount of spice. The tortillas were very unremarkable and kind of had a strange taste to them. Not that crispy or anything like that. But nonetheless, not bad. The carnitas plate was kind of disappointing. The meat itself was juicy and flavorful, but the vast majority of the plate was just fat. Like, very large chunks of pure fat. I'd say more than 50% of the plate was fat. The salad was pretty much just lettuce (also quite underwhelming). However, the rice was well made and pretty tasty. And the beans were really good. They had the perfect amount of creaminess, and the light bit of cheese on top was a nice touch. Nachos were a nice appetizer. Nice, crispy chips.nAgain, really good portion. They smother the chips with beans and cheese. Solid dipping sauce as well, and they brought a large container of it. All in all, this is a fine spot. It's cheap and the food is pretty good as well. I would say stay away from the carnitas though, unless you enjoy meat fat.

    Chicken taco

    Food was the best ! Traveling and stopped here for taco Tuesday. Can't beat 1.25 really good taco. Service was very good and knowledgeable. Don't miss this place in your travels you won't regret the stop We will be back.

    Sopes

    Absolutely FABULOUS! We had the quesabirrias which aren't on the menu but are well worth requesting in case you're fortunate enough to get them. We will be back as this will be our number one go to for authentic Mexican food from now on. The chips were homemade and excellent. Everything was very good. The quesabirrias were simply heaven though! It doesn't look like much but the service was good and with food like that we are definitely sold on this place! Prices were reasonable, too.

    Pollo tacos

    I was happy to stumble across this taco joint when I was in town with my family. We had a bunch of tacos including pollo, fish, and carne asada. The fish tacos were definitely my favorite. The beef in the carne asada tacos were a little too dry for my liking. The prices here are great but I cannot say they were the best tacos I've ever had. Check this place out if you like authentic tacos for a very reasonable price.

    Their chips are good even though they're extra. $1 Taco Tuesday is a good deal. I got 3 chicken tacos but I wasn't a super big fan of the tomato paste/sauce on the chicken. Sour cream on the tacos was also extra. My husband & our friends got the carne asada ones which they enjoyed. Fast service.

    Their taco Tuesday's are great with the $1 per taco deal. I'm not sure how the service is since we've only been ordering takeout due to covid. The wait was pretty long from ordering to getting the food but I would say it's worth it

    Proof that I THOUGHT I was ordering something that looked appetizing

    I DoorDashed from this restaurant and was incredibly upset with what I received and did NOT receive. Everything was cold, and either over or undercooked whenever it was cooked. I included pictures of what I thought I was ordering and what I received. Anyways, don't go here, the food is foul.

    I've been trying out a lot of Mexican restaurants in Harrisonburg and this place was next up in line. I came on a Tuesday evening mainly because of their "dollar per taco" special. It's from 2pm to 8pm, so take advantage of it! Since I wanted to try out different toppings of tacos, I got the first five from the taco section in the menu. The portion was very small but it's a dollar per taco so it makes sense. In terms of taste, I liked all the tacos with beef in them. The other ones were just okay. If you crack open a fresh cold bottle of corona with your tacos, it makes it that much refreshing. Make sure to pay at the counter after your meal. Don't wait at the table for 20 minutes like I did.

    Terrible service and food. You've been warned. There's a reason they have to attract people on Tuesdays for their 'tacos.'
