You can barely eat anywhere for under $10 with inflation and restaurants raising prices so I was a…read morebit shell shocked to find tacos still unbelievably reasonably priced here! And these are not wimpy tacos. These are generous sized tacos, generous sides and a generous salsa bar. There is minor confusion when you walk in because the restaurant and grocery store occupy the same space. You order at the food counter but you don't pay until AFTER you finish the meal. Seating is around the corner, tucked away. Also note these tacos take time. It's not the order and you get your meal right away. Expect to sit around 10 minutes or so before your food arrives but it's worth it because it's so good and filling. The ambiance is no frills and sparse but if you can overlook that and just enjoy the tacos, this place is worth a visit.

There wasn't anyone working in the kitchen so I used my Spanish and asked if I could order. The gentleman seemed bothered but made my two tacos. I'm not sure if there's certain lunch times but I went around 2pm. He then had the female worker ring me up. Pleas note they take cards for a minimum of $8. Plan ahead everyone. She was very nice. I got a carnitas and a barbacoa taco. Both were pretty good. No complaints. Each came with onion and cilantro on top. It also came with garnishes of radish lime and salsas. Great prices. Great meats. Would return for sure. Come support local business here.

They weren't super greasy, like other birria tacos I've had, but they were delish and PACKED with meat! We also ordered a side of chips and queso, and their white queso sauce is also delish! Great, freshly made chips in a bag too. Go here! Great place for real (and really GOOD) Mexican food!

We stopped today on our way home today and this was a 10 out of 10. The kids burritos were the size of standard chain burritos and the regular burritos were a full meal. The variety of meats and as extensive: shredded chicken, pulled pork, steak, ground beef, chorizo, and likely several others that I missed. The topping were fresh and the salsa choices were excellent along with 2 types of rice options. The kids got shredded chicken burritos, I got a combo of shredded chicken and chorizo, and my wife got shredded chicken fajita style. However they cook the meat adds a tonic flavor and make sure to get extra napkins as they definitely are juicy The parking lot was full but the line moved quickly and there were seating options inside and outside plus a nice park 1/2 a block away with picnic tables. The people working were super friendly and helpful when we told them this was our first visit. We will definitely be making this part of our trip planning when we go up north to our cabin.
