    Churro with ice cream and caramel sauce
    Amanda L.

    We stayed at the Marriott hotel across the street. We were waiting for our room to be ready, so we went here for lunch. The restaurant is tucked away in a hallway of sorts. Most of the tables are outside with some fans /air flow but pretty hot. We luckily found a table available (one of three) inside with air conditioning. However, the interior smelled like bleach. There was only one cook and one waitress, so it took a while for our food. The food was okay but lacked flavor and was disappointing. My husband is from California, so we know fresh Mexican flavor. We all ordered different tacos (carnitas, carne, and ground beef). We ordered the guacamole and chips as an appetizer). We had to ask for salt to add flavor to everything. The kids did love the churros. If you're looking for something simple and affordable then check this place out. Otherwise, there are more delicious choices in the area.

    Taco your homies, this is a gif send on a beach day in Condado. The menu hits several classics and the decor is like a journey into Mexico at Epcot (over the top hut representing

    Great food and friendly service. We were so happy to see they had a vegan menu since my fiancé is vegetarian. Their guacamole was amazing.

    We came at the closing of the restaurant and they accommodated us. They offered us the to go options. We ordered Pastor Quesadillas, Carnitas Bowl, Asada Bowl and Birria. The food was decent and the ambience is casual. The prize is reasonable.

    Great spot for a quick bite! The Mexican food here has a fantastic Puerto Rican twist that makes it stand out. However, I have an important recommendation: every single item on the menu should include a detailed description. We ordered "carnitas" quesadillas, assuming they were made with beef since that's common in some parts of New Jersey and New York. However, in Puerto Rico, "carnitas" refers to pork. My wife, who does not eat pork for religious reasons, accidentally ate a piece. When I informed the waiter, he kindly made a beef version for us, which was great, but we were still charged for the original one--which is fine, I wasn't going to argue over $16. The issue is that the menu only specifies pork for carnitas in the taco section, not in the quesadilla section. This kind of oversight can lead to serious problems if the wrong person eats something they avoid due to religious, dietary, or allergy-related reasons. Given that your clientele isn't exclusively local, I strongly recommend adding descriptions to every dish to prevent confusion. Otherwise, the food and service were great!

    Beautiful artwork.

    Order took a while but I was warned. I had takeout. Containers were good kept the food contained for a half mile stroll back to the apartment. They missed packing my two drinks. I should have checked. The area is super nice. Such potential. I observed several patrons having to go into the kitchen area to get their drinks refilled. The fish tacos had a good spice but were over fried. The guacamole was ok but lacked any flavor. The chips were not fresh. No hot sauce was provided. Not a good value for the money, essentially since I did not receive $7 worth of drinks. The Mediterranean restaurant next door is a way better option.

    First place my fiancé and I decided to try that was "reasonably" priced turned out to be quite expensive. I don't appreciate it when someone thinks I'm dumb enough to not notice that the bill for 4 tacos and a soda and water was $50 because the server decided to give herself a generous tip. She didn't even mention it but then turned the machine around which requested another tip. I called her out on it and said, you want another tip on top of the tip you gave yourself already??? She just smiled. I pressed skip. But had no option to remove her auto 18% added. Food is average and took forever to come out. Avoid the tourist traps. I hate places like this. We come here to bring tourism money to your island and you think we're just stupid tourists to be taken advantage of.

    Very surprised more people haven't reviewed this on Yelp. Because it had "one of the best burritos I've ever had" said my dining mate. A carnitas one full of cheese and lettuce and "Waka waka" sauce. But really everything we had was great. From the guacamole to the margaritas to my Burris tacos. Friendly service without being too rushed. We were on island time. Just a great place for lunch or dinner. Good for takeout too. Don't miss it on this busy street. It's a true find.

    birria tacos
    Sophia N.

    Taco shop in a cute alley in San Juan. This was my first meal after arriving to San Juan so I was looking for something quick. I got the birria tacos which hit the spot but were a little smaller than what I was hoping for. The plates are snack size so you will probably need 2-3 plates to feel satisfied.

    Vegan Tinga Tacos
    Caroline W.

    BEST FOOD IN SAN JUAN! I visited here and got a table inside. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. Our server was Luis, he was great. There's plenty of seating outside and a small indoor area. We ordered the vegan Tinga tacos and the Asada de Res. Absolutely so delicious. The vegan tacos were perfectly made with the best combination of toppings. Two tacos was perfect. We also got two bottles of waters which they brought with a cup of ice and a lime. They have a wide selection of beers and sodas. If you're in town you must go!

    Dry no flavor I asked for sauce but still couldn't eat it.

    Food was overpriced and overcooked when brought to their attention. They did not care. Definitely would not eat here again.

They delivered fast each time we had it 2 nights in a row. If you are visiting PR and are wanting authentic tacos and burritos - look no further! The flavor was truly like no other. I don't even look at burritos in America the same. The sauces were hand made everything was made to order. Without needing to repeat myself for a 3rd time - this is where you want to go if you are in the mood for tacos and or burritos!
