Stopped for a quick bite. Never been. Hubby had drove by many times but never stopped to see what was going on but he knows I will! Great spot, the food was amazing! Fresh, good flavor and hit the spot! The nachos are HUGE! 2 people can share them. The tamales were yummy! Nice and hearty. The service was great. A sweet young man in high school took our order. Great to see a nice young man working and being so kind and respectful, he is being raised right! It's a small spot, no tables or anything and a small landing for 2-3 people max to grub and it was totally fine, we opted to eat there. Please support local businesses! read more

Not enough for your money. Skimpy on everything. One tortilla on a taco, meat chopped up so small it gets stuck in your teeth. Nickel and dime you for taco add -ons, not worth my money. I'm never going back there. One taco I threw it in the garbage. Worst taco in my entire life. read more

The food was just okay for me--not quite what I expected, but not terrible either. The service was good, and I have nothing negative to say about that. The ambiance was definitely a highlight; I really enjoyed the decor and the overall atmosphere while dining. read more

You forgot a hole my hole luxe box Al I wanted was to eat my food but you just give me two hard tacos this was so mean the only thing you got right was my drink I wanted to eat in peace on a snowy day and you can't even get a taco right read more

Food rate 8/10 Service is alright (everyone has their bad days) Ambiance the atmosphere is to go place. Sometimes you have to wait a bit longer than usual. Wish the Gorditas would be crunchy how they used to be. read more

Very quick and good food. Always consistent with my tacos. Rice is really good too. Good prices

This is my favorite taco place to eat at. Even though they always get my name wrong when I place my order.

Tacos are always great! Sometimes it does get a little confusing how to order with all of the sticky notes that are listed on the front of the stand while you're ordering. However, I do love how fresh everything tastes and the salsa is amazing too read more

The one dollar tacos are unmatched. If I could eat this for every meal of every day and not gain weight, I would. Staple within the Hammond community. Anytime someone comes in from out of town, I am sure to bring them here for a quick lunch. read more

So I've been going here for more then a few years and I haven't been here in over a yr or two because I haven't been in the area. Today I stopped in and man is it way busier now. I got the burrito and fries for 12 something bucks. Well I was very disappointed. The burrito's meat was tasteless and it felt more like shredded meant instead of cut up steak. I was very disappointed I threw the other half out along with the fries that had zero taste. They tasted like burnt oil and my truck smells like burnt oil. Maybe they are just getting to busy to worry about taste now. It's a small place and the employees are hustling in there for sure. But the quality of taste has gotten very bad now. read more

Always excellent. If you want some quick tacos this is the spot to go to, I always recommend the al pastor.

Don't go first thing in the morning, burrito steak meat was horrible, it must have been from the day before .

Where else will you find $1 tacos that taste good? It's rare to find chicken tacos that actually have flavor; these are actually edible without salsa. read more

This place has the best gorditas. The hot sauce they have are great and spicy. If i had to take away a star it would be for the decor. It's somewhat ugly and not very well decorated. However, the food is amazing and since this is the pandemic we are doing take out only, it is a non factor. This is authentic delicious mexican food. When I walked in there were six mexican ladies cooking and I can tell they are mexican and not the americanized ones. I will bet you a taco these ladies go home after work and watch novelas and come back the next day and make some bomb ass food. read more

I love this place! $1.50 tacos and they're so good. The pork tacos are my favorite--- try the nachos too! Always friendly-- it's carry out only now FYI read more

Was a top spot. Now, it's the kind of place that does whatever they want. When calling in was put on hold to the sound of the employee's convo of getting her nails done instead of taking the order, twice. Pet peeve for me was closing earlier than stated on the door sign while still having customers inside. Somehow I was too late to get an order in but early enough before their stated closing time. Taking my business elsewhere. read more

If this place was close to my home, I'll be in trouble. Place could be cleaned once in a while but food.. the only closest tasting tacos I had was in Mexico. Their rice and beans are crack. I would give this place 5 stars if they would scrub the place down. Needs serious cleaning. read more

Great tacos for $1!! The cashier seemed like she hated her job and the place had only been open for a hour. But, our interaction was brief, so who cares. Lol.... Would I eat here again.... probably, if I was in the area. I have had better tacos. But you can't beat these for a buck! read more

I'm very surprised this place doesn't have hundreds of 5 star ratings. It's delicious and always busy. My favorite is their steak tacos on corn tortillas. read more

The BEST $1 tacos in ALL of Hammond, IN. There was a line, but amazingly, it went pretty fast for as long as it was. I counted nine employees working their ass off chucking out orders of tacos. People were calling in asking for FORTY TACOS (40 tacos). Doesn't matter what type of taco you want either! Steak, Chicken, Pork or Chicharrón...it's all $1. Order these tacos with everything and you get SOUR CREAM...what? That's usually EXTRA $$$! The sides are just as excellent and at OUTSTANDING prices. read more

Most people come here and get takeout from what I've gathered. The inside is quite small and is always packed! I mean come on all the tacos are a dollar! My husband and I each tried chicken and a beef. They were both pretty tasty but I would say the chicken was the best. Place is pretty noisy, doesn't look superbly clean or anything but I would definitely call it a dive. Sometimes the places that are dives have the best food. And this place had pretty decent tacos but I wouldn't say they were the best but again come on they're only a dollar! read more

very nice and clean place,cheap tacos.very affordable to feed your family. they have a large menu, all the popular drinks.

Amazing tacos! This is coming from a person who use to live in the city and moved this way. We always struggled to find decent tacos in the area. But I am so happy we came across this gem! The tacos were so delicious, now we don't have the need to drive to the city for some good tacos! read more

Being half Puerto Rican, growing up in Milwaukee on the south side with Mexican food all my life and living in Chicago for 8 years of my life I feel like I can be an authority on Mexican food. I've been in many Mexican house holds, part of my family is Mexican and if you want Authentic Mexican flavors... Come here ASAP! Tortillas are the bomb. 1$ tacos are amazing (just a tiny bit cheap on the meat, obviously they are a dollar). Al Pastor, Amazing. Barbacoa on weekends INSANE! Steak are a staple even the Chicharron is pretty good. I tried some of my wife's Beans and rice and these are some of the best beans I've ever had, hands down. The Salsa is perfect as well. I can't find one thing wrong with this place. You have to come here. read more

Great $1 Taco deal. Gets crowded at various times of the day and there can be a wait. Staff was nice.

Amazing restaurant. The place is packed at lunch/dinner times. Pastor tacos are the best I've ever had. And all tacos only $1.00 each?? Are you kidding me? Cheap prices + outstanding food = very busy and successful restaurant. read more

Always PACKED. Always delicious. Excellent prices. I always run into family and friends here. It's the go to spot for Purdue students too. $1 tacos (any meat/ topping combo) $1 rice. I swear everything I've ever ordered is $1 each. Definitely a favorite. read more

Arguably the best Mexican food in the area. It's perfect in location, just a block away from Purdue, and the prices are amazing. You can't beat $1 steak tacos, come Saturday for the barbacoa (ITS THE BEST). The rice and beans are awesome, get a small mixed for $1 as well. read more

Love this New Mexican Resturant by Indianapolis Blvd. It's an easy miss. But it's located right next to Family dollar and ABC wireless store. It is an affordable place and the food is just to die for. I found this place being better than chipotle menu options. Plus it's real authentic Mexican style food. Decent number of food options and real quick great service. It's a small place since they are just starting out their business. I love trying their everyday specials. This gives me chance to try out everything in the menu. I enjoy eating their burritos, taco dinner, gordita, flautas and torta. With the dinner package, they provide rice and beans and a can of pop. Their rice and beans are amazing. Just the best ever. I highly recommend trying out the place. read more

So I've been going to the restaurant for a while now never had a problem, until today I ordered a torta and they gave me a burrito. I went up to the lady and I told her that they gave me a burrito instead of a torta. So they called the girl that ring me up and ask her what I asked for and she looked at me nervously and and said that I ordered a burrito. First of all don't lie and say that I order a burrito when I didn't. Then she told me that I should look at the screen before I walk away. First of all I didn't know there was a screen there and second of all I didn't order a burrito. So now I have to eat something I don't want. Very unhappy and very unprofessional. Keep your customers happy and maybe they'll come back read more

My daughter wanted tacos today so we stopped here (never been) ! I'm always down to show my support to local Mexican establishment!! But ......when I tell you this was the worst place ever !! The worker so was rude to my child ( she's 30) and spoke to her in a very unpleasant way ! And yelled at her repeatedly!! About her order and to get all the way home and find out that all the tacos we're wrong !! 20 tacos over $30.00! And none of us can eat a single one !! And because I'm over that place ....they said I could come in tomorrow but I need to bring all this shit back to the restaurant!! Yeah !! No I'm good .....thank you but no thanks !!! Lol ..... It's making me give them one star they don't deserve that!! read more

I arrived at 6pm, I ordered $60 worth of food. All the $5 orders received there food before me. I tried phoning my order in and I was on hold for 10 minutes. I finally received my food an hour later. Both the milensa and the gordita was burnt black. I had to ask for a new one and I was given an attitude for it. Waited an additional 15 minutes and I wasn't given an apology or offered anything for my wait. If I knew I was going to wait an 1h15 for my food I could have made it myself at home. They need to step up their game, this isn't the first time I've had poor service. read more

Outstanding, homemade food, nice people. Would highly recommend! Clearly a popular place based on how busy they were went I went to get my food. read more
