    Pretty tasty food, I remember it being more expensive than I thought. Very filling and the meat had so much flavor. Everything tasted so fresh!

    Funky Taco Place Nice Outdoor Seating Minimal Menu and options Food is Tasty Expensive for the Super Small Portions Only took one picture which was Elote Char Broiled Corn with Creme and scallions $6.00

    tacos al pastor and brisket with  added queso fresco with all the personalized trimmings (pickled red onions, radish, hot sauce)

    I absolutely love this place. The tacos are fresh, cheap and delicious; the drinks are divine. I have been here twice and it's always excellent. The al pastor sells out quickly (and it makes total sense-it's that good), the brisket and tinga are also delicious. All the meats are tender and juicy. The chips are fresh and warm and the salsa is pureed versus chunky and homemade. The guacamole is excellent and made also in-house. The N/A Tepache fresh pineapple soda is refreshing. The 2-3 person boozy drink name and flavor changes all the time, but is well worth the price. The beers are cheap; $3-4 although you can spend up to $8. It's a no frills, perfect place to get some fairly authentic Mexican grub.

    When I visited Burlington, I did not expect to have such amazing tacos, yet here we are months later and I'm still raving about them. We were lucky enough to stay across the street from Taco Gordo, which made it a no brainer to come here after tying one on. Wow! These were some damn good tacos. I ordered the chorizo, Al pastor and tinga - all 3 rocked my world. In fact, my buddy who lives in TX couldn't stop talking about how good these tacos were. They have a convenient take out only window and let you mix and match tacos, which is sadly less common than you might think. Prices are totally worth it for what you get. I will go out of my way to come back the next time I'm in Burlington.

    Tacos... in Vermont. Good Service and Sauces, would've enjoyed their other options of meats but they ran out. "That's all I gotta say about that"

    $5 for the tiniest little guacamole-to-go you can imagine. $9 for the tiniest little margarita-to-go you could imagine. No wonder they staple the bag shut when you get take-out, because they don't want you to look inside it and give them a wtf response. Twenty-three dollars plus tax and tip, down the drain! We would have demanded a refund but got too far by the time we opened the bag.

    I didn't know that Vermont had good tacos. Totally unexpected, very happy. Guy Fieri ate here.

    A hair overpriced but it's hands down the best taco and burrito joint in Burlington. Flavorful food, strong cocktails.

    Very busy, but each dish seems to be prepared with care! Service is great. Wish they have more vegetarian options!

    Never been to Burlington.... how dog friendly is this establishment? Is there outside seating?

    Not dog friendly except outdoor seating. But most outdoor seating is taken. We had to wait outside for out food to-go bc they told us they couldn't serve us.

    We were visiting Burlington, VT over the weekend for a graduation. Decided to go to this place for…read moredinner because of the Gluten Free options. It did not disappoint! First of all, if you fancy some drinks, looks like they have some good options. Most of their items are items are gluten free except the burritos. The portion size is good, and the meat was flavorful and tender on tostada. For dessert, we had the Buñuelos which is also gluten free. It was soft and fluffy, went really well with the dulce de leche sauce. Check it out if you are in Burlington.

    If you're looking to escape the crowds of Church St. this little place lies east along Bank St…read more It's got a great vibe with a diner or railcar feel. Just look for the shiney silver exterior. We got there late around 8:30 PM and were quickly reminded that they closed at 9. The place was hopping and even though they were in a hurry to get us moving we didn't have our order taken for atleast 10-15 minutes. We started with chips and salsa and my son said "it was the best salsa he's ever had". The chips were fresh, tasty and gluten free. I got a chorizo buritto and it was large, filled with beans and rice and great tasting. My son went with the chicken enchiladas which he devoured quickly. I believe my wife ordered their enchiladas. Overall, the food was great and flavorful, service wasn't the best and we felt rushed to leave. The kicker, and this may be due to the close proximity to Church St, is our bill was around $80 (which included two drinks). It's way to pricey for some chicken, rice and beans, etc.
