Ordered a steak torta and a steak taco...lots of meat...was literally falling out. The steak could use a little bit of seasoning, but the salsa helped with that. Went for takeout and came with the pickled peppers and veggies. They're open late too. Overall, good place for a taco if your in the area.

This is it! If you are in the area, I HIGHLY recommend this place! They have the best carne asada and pastor! Some of the sauces are pretty hot, so be try before you add! Food is prepared in front of you, would recommend the torta or tacos! Also would recommend the Horchata, probably the freshest I've ever tasted

Amazing place to eat since it's open late at night, tacos aren't dry or small. Plus they arent shy when it comes with the meat they're packed, it's worth the extra dollars at the end! Prices have changed since last time I went, servers are so nice and understanding

Food is good service is fast. Tacos are always stuffed! Salsas are good right amount of spiciness. Their chocolate milkshake is my FAVORITE!
