    Fast food tacos!…read more Quick fast service, a nice plate of sauces upon seating. Very packed and loud but to the point and functioning. The good was the service and fast pace of this place The bad is the food and fast pace I ate the meat but didn't enjoy it as much. The carne asada wasn't even asada. No grill marks didn't taste fire cooked and was grey. The pastor was better. The maíz tortillas were so hard and dry it only led me to think they make the tacos way before hand and place them on plates upon ordering. The meat wasn't even hot. The only good thing is all the sauces they provide you with to hide the food flavor and rehydrate the tacos. Very popular place so they will survive regardless of food. Get flour tortillas they were similar size of the corn and were soft and made sense on the bite. The corner were rubber like

    I love all the condiments! It's like the Korean Banchan but Mexican! The meats are just OK though…read more I prefer the asada to the other meats i ordered but it was also full of gristle, so watch out for that if you're not a fan. -cabeza: not a fan, nothing special -tripas: not a fan, not cleaned enough - asada: fave of the bunch but full of fat and gristle, but I like that -al pastor: meh I'm usually a fan of corn tortillas but the flour ones were really good. The service is very slow and for some reason, we were told cash only the night we went but we were able to pay by card another day....

    We went shortly after they had opened so the service was amazing we had all the employees to…read moreourselves. All the ladies were very helpful and attentive to our needs. It's fairly big with a lot of seating. The tacos are so delicious and big this was not our first time here and I say this because the first time around we made the mistake and ordered so many tacos and they're huge. If you normally eat 4 regular sized tacos you'll get full with two. They offer so many toppings which I loved. This place is a must if you're visiting Mexicali.

    "It's 11:00 A.M. I've got like six drinks in me." ― Anthony Bourdain…read more ¡Viva Mexico! Do you know what the soul needs after nearly a four-hour drive to Mexicali? Carne asada tacos, pizza al pastor, and maybe some Mexican Coca Cola. I'm not the biggest eater but the carne asada taco was so good, I ordered a second one. At $1 a pop and at the size of a frisbee, it was an easy decision. Did I end up eating both? Not really. I'm glad my friend was there to eat the other half of my second carne asada taco. Top it with some nopales, guacamole, cabbage, some beans, and both red and green salsa. As for the pizza al pastor? Bliss. You see them grilling up the al pastor on the spit right outside and the pineapple is such a delight. Don't forget to top it with some onion and cilantro. One slice was plenty for me. I can see why Priscila A. ranks this as her top taquería. It's insanely good. "It was, in the end, the best kind of adventure." ― Anthony Bourdain
