    Order of a cheesy and buttery papa.
    Raquel Sophia V.

    OH MY GOSH! We loved our first time order from this place. It is located by business 83 where at one time I believe the use to sell cars. You can eat inside or outside. Inside seating is limited. This will definitely be one of my after hour eateries.

    Combo: 6 tacos al pastor with half baked potato.
    Fernando P.

    DELICIOUS AND FILLING. I wouldn't say their tacos are the best I've ever had but they're definitely good quality. I had the al pastor tacos with half baked potato. They have a variety of salsas which range from mild to spicy and combine really well with the lime and pineapple. There's aguas frescas available as well to quench the spice. Parking can be a bit of an issue. There's plenty of outdoor seating under a large tent that gives it an indoor feeling but can be inconvenient when it's cold. True indoor seating is limited. Overall a solid option in a central location.

    Excelentes tacos, la gringa con fajita y trompo es mi go to. Los de birria están muy buenos también. Ambos bien surtidos.

    The food is good but not $20 for an order of tacos good. This was also before adding on the tip. Insanity.

    Let me start this review off this review by saying that I didn't even want to come here. I rarely…read morevisit the RGV and when I do visit, I already have my certain food places that I have to go to. My best pal brought me here because it was HIS favorite taco place. So I get here, and right from the start, the service is awesome. The waitress even gave us her own personal hand sanitizer - talk about thoughtfulness!!! Anyways we decided to be fatties and order literally everything. Mexican soda comes in the glass bottles. Water is bottled (thank goodness). Frijoles were on point as well. I basically drank them lol. - We got two orders of 5 tacos de maiz - papa especial (no meat) - papa asada (meat) - he ordered al pastor tacos de harina All of the food had amazing flavor with the way they seasoned everything. The food came out really quickly as well and was fresh and tasty. I didn't even want to come here and now I love it so much. Authentic flavor. Only annoying thing was the people who kept coming to our table to sell us stuff (flowers, kids selling misc. items, musicians), but I'm not letting that deter my review!!

    Great food as always but today I tried the tacos de vapor. They were filled with a generous portion…read moreof filling I had the mixed which consisted of 2 deshebrada 2 bean and 2 potatoe tacos it comes with a side of shredded cabbage and the salsa is available at the condiment bar. This reminded me of the tacos de vapor we would get in Reynosa.

    We were a party of 10 that made reservations for 6pm. We all showed up and the space was nice. Lots…read moreof TV's everywhere and it had music playing. Waiter came and took our orders for drinks and we all started making our selections for food. The chips and salsa they bring out complementary are so good. We did have to wait because they were making a fresh batch but it was worth the wait. We all had a round of drinks and then put in our order for food and it was about 7pm already. Our waiter then came up to the table and asked us if we would mind moving because they had a reservation at 8pm for the area that they chose to sit us in. We were kind of annoyed by that because we had called the day before to make our reservations. We said I guess thinking it was going to be close to 8 that they would move us. Nope about 5-10 mins passed and he came by and asked us if we would mind moving already before our food came out. Considering that again we had a reservation and they knew it was a large party they should have blocked out more than just 2 hrs for us to be there. We moved and the very least they could have done for us is offer a free dessert on the house for the table but they didn't. Now I ordered the flautas which were served on a bead of beans. The menu said shredded chicken but we were told they didn't have chicken they only had beef so I ordered it. The flautes were lacking flavor and probably could have been saved by adding salt to them and the beans but they don't have that at any of the table. I did try some of my friends chicharrones and those were really good. We left around 8:15-8:20 and there was no one that showed up where we were originally sitting... so we could have just stayed where they originally sat us. We left feeling very annoyed.

    Okaaaay McAllen I see you! I came out here on a Friday night around 8pm, the place was lively, good…read moremusic on the speakers and it instantly felt like the weekend. With no reservation, I was asked to kindly take a seat in the small waiting area to clear a table. I was instantly greeted with a friendly smile and felt welcomed. I was seated within 5 minutes. I had a late lunch and wasn't super hungry. I couldn't pass up the refried beans and chips since they were wafting in my vicinity, no regrets though, the chips were on the lighter side (not super hard like a tostada) and crispy and you could taste the manteca in the beans which made me smile. Según, I had no intention on eating but I couldn't pass up the aguachile as it came to my table. Twas delightful! The only regret I had at that point was not bringing my appetite. Onto the drinks. Wanted to start off "light" and the Paloma was perfect and refreshing. Not too much on the squirt side, not amargoso (bitter) and the right amount of tequila. During the night they abruptly announced that they were running a 2 for 1 shot special along with LMFAO's "Shots" song and you almost feel obliged to order (marketing genius). I was feeling adventurous and decided not to ask what each shot entailed, but rather to go based off the name. I went with the Perla Negra and for the presentation itself it was worth ordering. All in all, this place is a MUST for your Friday night warm up. Como dice terminator: I'll be back.
