Tiny place with nice service, food is good and affordable. The only thing I didn't like was the cilantro in the condiments bar. Looked like was there for a while.

This is small Taco shop with lots of wonderful food and dishes. The staff and people eating there were so kind to us! Can't wait to go back. Since it is small you will need to wait for a place to sit but people are kind. We kept it simple and ordered just tacos and burritos but the locals were eating other dishes that looked really good. Super burritos were huge and I was just barely able to eat it and my daughter finished half. The cheese was a fresh mexican cheese and tasty. Don't miss that. Son ate 3 tacos no problem. If you don't want too much go with tacos and dress them yourself at the salsa bar. The salsa bar had two green salsaa and on roasted red on. The lighter green was less spicy and a wonderful flavor. If you can speak spanish that's a bonus but everyone helped communicate. Very limited vegetarian but there are two dishes: kind of salads on a tostada or go with the bean and cheese burrito.
