The hot sauce did the job as well. The pastor mulita did the job, the pastor was flavor-full but it had its own style, it wasn't like the pastor in Tijuana and was different than the usual pastor in az. It was different, but cant hold its own without the guac salsa cheese carrying it Would go back for the carne asada tacos, and 4/5 because the price tag. The price to quality is good, but the quantity is a stretch. 2-3 bite max tacos for over 3 dollars is wild work. The quality tho, makes it worth returning for sure

There was a line when we got there but the food came so fast a little after we got a table. They have drive thru too. Ambiance was great. Seats are limited and they have outdoor options. They played Mexican music which adds to the authenticity. Saw reviews that parking is limited but we got lucky, they're were still a few open spots when we came.

My friends enjoyed what they got, especially the one who got the pizza birria....and I quote: "damn...this is life changing! Why am I just finding this!" I'd say it's closer to 3.5 stars, it's a great little spot. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would go back, might not be my "go to" but still a great option and the prices are good.

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.
