Of note, the salsa rojo at the self-serve condiment station carries quite the spicy sting. Next is the authenticity; they display their entire cooking process from homemaking the tortillas to serving the tacos fresh off the grill. It's occupied by two employees hustling away and running operations like a well-oiled machine. Despite arriving at the same time as two other customers, I had my order ready in 7 minutes. Last is the value. Part of what made my experience so enjoyable is only paying $12 for 4 exceptional tacos (Zelle accepted). Blink and you'll miss it. The stand is set up in the parking lot of a boarded up business immediately off the main road. Get ready to turn right or you'll have to make a U-turn.

I felt that burrito was not balanced- a bit dry.. although I know if has potatoes in that probably makes it drier. The next time, i wanted to give another chance with an asada super burrito. The size was decent. I could split it with two people. However, i still felt like something was missing and it was not a balanced burrito that I hope to get from a burrito place. The individual ingredients did not really stick out to me and it was an okay burrito.

Then I'm afraid the process will go up and there will be long lines!! Haha!! I want this place ALL TO MYSELF!! The salsa bar is always clean and filled! They have staff monitoring it during rush hours to insure everything stays topped off. The grilled onions and jalapeños are delicious and the salsas.... I'd go just for that salsa bar!! Their Micheladas (I order with light Modelo) are rimmed with the sweet Mexican tajin (I think it's called)...orange slice, cucumber, and 2 prawns! But the star is the Quesabirria, the consommé! Oh dear god have mercy. I can't eat large volumes and this is the only place that will let me order one. The consomne has been cooked and simmered forever and it's always got good chunks of super tender pulled beef. I can go on but, like I said, I want this place all to myself!! Even my son and his gf come up from SF to order the burritos, which they say are the BEST they've ever had! So happy to see such a GREAT RESTAURANT on NORTHGATE and JUST a couple miles from my home!! Yaaaay!!! Every Friday is MY day to treat myself to this EXCELLENT MEXICAN FOOD TAQUERIA!! I want to try EVERYTHING on the menu!! Especially the soups and the seafood dishes!! Mui Bueno!!! Gracias!!!!!!

Lots of different salsas and toppings to try. I think the drinks are $7-10. I love this place. I have to drive almost an hour to get here but I try to time it out right if I'm in the area as they open at 6pm though they were serving people earlier one time so maybe they're flexible. The seasoning on both the asada and the pork with pineapple is amazing. They have the pork on the spinning thing so it's super juicy. The asada has a flat grill char. It's just so tasty. I tried the baked potatoes for the first time at this location and it was a little bland but they add packets of salt. I got home and added things to my liking and it's one of my favorite meals. I get it with carne asada. It can feed multiple people/ servings. The pina was delicious but I imagine it may get watered down throughout the night. Street parking only as they're on the corner of a Main Street.

Everything that I've had here so far is excellent I think the fact that they have five people…read moreworking the stand tells you something and there's always a line... The first time I came here I had the stuffed baked potato , it had butter and then they put a ton of steak on it with all the fixings.... That was large enough for two meals, they serve it with some corn tortillas so you can make some potato tacos... they have a bunch of condiment that you can choose from and load up to take to go. Second visit we got the two tortoise for $15 on Tuesdays .... The tortillas were very tasty and the cheese skirt around it was interesting. They have an assortment of drinks I always get purple Mexican Jamaica drink... so good and plenty on their large serving. Everyone is nice the service is great , I highly suggest for anybody even if you're not a taco stand goer try this one, you will not be disappointed!

Truly the tiniest little taco I've ever seen, and at one of the higher price points. Watery consommé. The chile relleno taco was cold and had no flavor. My friend described the short rib taco in one word: "okay." The watermelon basil margarita was decent, but not strong enough for me personally. Friend said the same about hers, the peach and guava margarita. The banh mi shrimp taco did me right in the end. Flavors and textures were on point and I actually got two big pieces of shrimp. They're 1 for 4.

The shrimp burrito was recommended by a friend but it lacked flavor. The mild green salsa that accompanied it was good, but still didn't elevate it. The shrimp itself were plump and tender, but I've definitely had a better burrito. My husband got the asada burrito and he didn't say it was good or bad, which means it wasn't anything special, just edible. Also tried the al pastor street tacos and the carnitas street tacos. The carnitas were dry. Al pastor was fatty. Maybe I just came at the wrong time since the reviews are pretty good, plus it was recommended by a fellow foodie....who knows. Maybe if I'm back in the area, I can order something else and give them another try. Maybe.
