We snagged a seat next to the window so we could continue to people watch. The service was fast and the food came out just as fast so we were not hungrily waiting. A bucket of beer accompanied our tacos too. It was also not busy when we came so it was not super loud and easy for us to have our own conversations. I really enjoyed my tacos. I started with two al pastors and an asada. Then ordered two more al pastors. Perfect for a light lunch and a couple beers!

But the place is also hip: we were there on a World Cup day, and there were many fans watching the game. It was festive and lively. The food is outstanding. We got the fried cauliflower, the arranchera (strip steak), the suckling pig (as tacos), and the creme brûlée flan. The steak was deliciously marbled, and cooked to perfection. It melted a bit on the tongue. The suckling pig tacos were dynamite. The meat was tender, and topped with a crispy piece of chicharron. The presentation was impeccable. The flan was also really tasty, and made for a light, sweet, and to a delicious meal.

This is a traditional Mexican taco truck/cart parked in front of a small strip with an Oxxo and some other stores/restaurants. Since it is adjacent to a lot of residential apartments and a large state park, it gets a lot of traffic. Though I havne't tried it, I think you can order by phone or Whatsapp and come to pick up - though that may just be for regulars. Though there's usually a line, they are pretty fast. They'll take orders on one side, and while you wait you can start on an ice cold coke from them, or pop into the Oxxo for something else, and sometimes by the time your order is ready there's a space to post up at the counter, which you should do for full access to their condiments. Yes, they have traditional spicy salsas, onions, limes, and they also have some richly seasoned onions marinated in habanero peppers which put the perfect kick on any taco. They have a traditional selection of guisos (types of tacos), so far my favorites are picadillo and egg with potato. You can add egg to many of their tacos, and as it's one of my favorites, no surprise that I like this place!

It is set up with very nice decor and appears to be popular. We found the service disinterested and everything we ordered was barely OK. The steak was chewy, and the appetizers were meh. Not a fan especially given that it is priced like a high end restaurant.

Good variety on the menu with all kinds of Cabrito choices. Ordered three different Cabrito dishes. Salad bar included, which was simple, but fresh ingredients.

Our…read moreserver was a bit slow in taking our orders in which we understood considering the fact that they had a full house but kept forgetting to check up on us. The menu is very simple. For the amount of fame this place has I really thought their menu would have more options. They had enchiladas, sopes, flautas and tacos as well as envueltas. The fillings were beans, cheese, potatoes or an added filling of green or red chicharrón, picadillo, desherbada, papadillo, and rajas con queso. Considering the plates are very simple we believed our food shouldn't of taken so long; we waited an hour long. Later on another server came by to let us know our server was on his lunch break and that he believed our order should be coming out soon. We looked around and many tables around us were waiting on their food as well so don't come super hungry to avoid getting hangry. Their aguas frescas are very Good tried their Jamaica and horchata and was very good in flavor. The ambiance is average amount of noise. They don't have music playing so you just have people talking amongst themselves but isn't too loud. I was personally disappointed considering how popular this place is but I assume it is only because how long this place has been here. The food was good but nothing great. Favorite was the chicharrón rojo if I had to choose one. Wouldn't make my way to come back to this place but if was around and had no where else to eat would come.
