    So this is a hidden gem. Im afraid to but i need to share it with thise crossing the border into…read moremexico. First let me explain something about tacos de cabeza al vapor in Mexico: this type of tacos are consumed and consider a breakfast meal. Yes you eat this in the morning and thats why you see this joints open so early and close so early(most of the time they run out). For this reason i make it my mission to not cross the border anything later than 10 am. You have a couple of options in this wonderful and humble establishment. Cabeza(cheek, cows head beef, sounds weird but truly delicious) and Lengua(beef tongue), as well as conzome(the broth the meat is cooked in with cilantro and onion). The cabeza is would say is better than the lengua. It never disappoints and always full of flavor. They load up each taco and i believe its $15 pesos per taco, i never ask for price i just order and pay after I'm done ;-). And no I'm not worried, these are the mist humble and respectful family you will meet. Aside from the meat their tortillas are unique and quite good. They are different and you will not know what I'm saying until you try a taco. I usually get 4 or 5 tacos and a consome. I prefer the red salsa as it the spiciest and has the most flavor. But they have the green which is also good but less spicy. Try this place and dont be scared. Its your typical hole in the wall mexican taco stand.

    Another hidden gem feet away after you have crossed the border…read more This place is ran by all women who seem to be family. $25 pesos for a fish taco. But they also have marlin tacos, shrimp tacos, quezadillas and other great options. I love how this is a fresh made to order fish taco place. They freshly fry the fish in their secret batter and give it to you crispy and pipping hot. You put whatever topping you want except for mayo which they spread on the tortilla for you(i skip it, i hate and dislike Mayo!!!). I topped my 1 taco(i had just ate across the street but was tempted for a fish taco) with cabbage, tomato, red onion with chopped habanero, a charred tomatillo salsa and in it went. Wow! It was truly an amazing bite and quite a happy feeling. The fish was cooked perfectly and the toppings just married the taco together. I wished i had room for more but trust me i will be coming back before i cross the border back to the US. And i definitely want to try the shrimp tacos too. ;-)

    Didn't eat at this one, but did at the one down the street past the only street light, amazing…read morethough! From what I gather it's the wife with the stand by the border and the husband possibly ex husband over past the street light. Amazing shrimp tacos ! Portions so good I made two tacos from one! Only thing keeping me from 5 stars is the fact it was so hot and a fan would've been nice!

    Our second meal in Ajo. First was breakfast at Ajo Eats…read more The restaurant looked cute but all 5 customers were sitting on the bar side. So we did too. Lunch. The bartender was fairly quick to take our order, but never followed up with us. We had no utensils. Could have used some water. She was very busy flirting with the guy at the bar. Kept changing songs on the music system to coordinate with her monologue about her musical prowess. Very disruptive and thoughtless. The owner (I assume) came in and she, instead of paying attention to her very few customers, extolled her boss about her social media following and how "everyone was checking to see if she was on the bar tonight." The veggie burgers and sweet potato fries were good; however. Kudos to the kitchen staff. We should have sat in the main dining room, I think we would have had a much better experience.

    This was my first time visiting this location. There have been several restaurants in this space…read morepreviously, but this business had done some remodeling and had several seating areas that looked like you were eating in your own dining room. There were also some comfy couch type seating with tables that made it unique. There were 3 of us and we sat in the restaurant side at a larger round table which was one of the smaller tables, but still a bit big for 3 people. Their menu had a wide variety of types of food choices, and we ordered one large Hawaiian pizza to share. The pizza had a thinner type crust with large slices of ham with pineapple chunks. It was tasty and hit the spot. They had a bar side also, with tables and bar seating. They offered beers on tap as well as bottled beer. You can even get milkshakes here, but I didn't try them. The owner came over to our table, and check on us. He was very friendly and told us to stop back by in a few days as they would be introducing a new menu with several new items to choose from.
