Visiting from SD for a few nights with my wife and daughter and heard about this spot the last time…read morewe were out. Spot looked legit before we even ordered, like true TJ style - no frills just a killer menu with simple seating and welcoming vibes upon walking in. They have all the meats! We ordered 8 tacos (2 cabeza, 4 asada, 2 mixto with shrimp and asada). We were blown away by the quality of each taco. Super tender and cooked perfectly with tons of flavor from proper marinade. Only thing holding me back from 5 stars is no guac - like they do not offer guacamole at all. That's a miss for sure but otherwise these are some of the best tacos in the valley. We will be back next time!

I found this place while passing through 29 Palms and decided to make a quick stop to get some…read morefood. I ordered some tacos and was totally disappointed with the amount of meat they put in them and the amount I paid. Tacos are $3 a piece, so I expected a decent or normal amount of meat per taco, but instead I got a kid's portion. I ate more tortilla than meat, just to put it into perspective. With total honesty, these tacos are worth $1.50 at most. The food taste was very mediocre, not even average. It lacked a lot of flavor. The agua fresca was really good, though. I hate it when palces charge a lot for food, but they're very stingy with the portions.

The food was fabulous! I had the mole enchiladas. The sauce was so good! Standard rice and refried beans come with it. I also ordered the bacon -wrapped jalapeno. It was filled with cheese. Yummy! My husband had the carnitas tacos plate, loved! They had a couple bottles of Laguna's IPA that we enjoyed with the meal. Really good and reasonably priced.

Called for a takeout and arrived to pick it up and the lady at the counter looked at me confused…read more She didn't apologize or anything just said that they would try to rush it. A few mins later a lady came out w my food and said there was some sort of mixup with the phones and apologized. Kind lady, possibly the owner. Things to mention, they have a cash total and a credit card total. So you're getting charged to use your card when everything is cashless nowadays. Salsa is extra, but apparently I got it for free since my order was delayed. Avocado salsa is the real winner. I ordered a mid-tostada salad w beef. Not a fan of the marinade on the beef, it was like a tangy flavor but to me it tastes like pinesol. I'm just sensitive to strong flavors, call me crazy but I like to taste my beef lol. Overall a great place to try in a pinch. A+ on plate presentation and guacamole :)
