    Best tacos I have had in a while. I got the tripa and Al pastor tacos, tamales and fresh Mango juice. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. The mango juice was a very large portion, probably share it with someone else!

    Not a bad place to eat for a quick bite. Their $10 asada burrito was stuffed with meat, refried beans, cheese, lettuce, and rice (optional tomatoes). It was massive and had tons of flavor, although the meat texture was more consistent with ground beef than traditional asada. They had two benches outside for customers. And it looks like they accept cash and credit.

    Driving through town and this little stand was at a traffic light. Great tasting tacos with a good selection including chicharon and tongue.
