Their salads are delicious, and the quesadillas? Chef's kiss. I'm actually really picky about quesadillas because, for some reason, the cheese at a lot of places messes with my stomach. But whatever they're using here agrees with me perfectly. Honestly... not even a 1,000/10. If you haven't tried this spot yet, you're missing out.

Nice spacious dining room.

I ordered everything to go and went with their Tijuana-style tacos--dos tacos de lengua con todo and dos tacos de carne asada con todo--along with green and red salsa and some limes. If you know lengua, you know it needs to be cleaned and cooked a very specific way, and they definitely got that part right. The lengua was cooked well and had a good texture. For my personal taste, though, it was just missing a little salt. Other than that, the food was good. It's a cute, small spot with some outdoor seating. They also have aguas frescas like horchata, pan dulce, and coffee, so there's a little bit of everything.

This is the kind of place you rely on when you need something solid, fast, and satisfying. My usual order is the asada or cabeza tacos--and they don't hold back. The tacos are big, flavorful, and consistently good every time. Every now and then I switch it up with the chile relleno burrito, which is also worth it. Everything I've had here hits. The salsa selection is solid too. They don't have it laid out anymore, but you can just ask at the counter--and they'll take care of you. They've always been cool about giving extra when needed. They've also got a good variety of drinks to go with it. I usually take my food to-go, but the outdoor patio is there if you want to sit and eat. Service is friendly, quick, and consistent--another reason I keep coming back. If you're looking for a reliable late-night taco spot that delivers on flavor and portion, this is it.

Fish tacos were not good because the sauce was just sour cream and the fish was crispy but not seasoned so the whole taco tasted bland. However, everything else tasted great and is decently priced!

Note: Customer Service is not their strong suit and you may encounter some negative attitude when you're ordering. This type of service applies to monolingual English and bilingual Spanish Spanish-speakers. I tried a variety of their tacos. They are the smaller street tacos which comes with two tortillas. What stands out about their tacos is the texture and chewiness of the tortillas. I enjoyed the tortillas as they were unique compared to most other types. I had a variety of meats, including chicken, lengua and tripe. I wish I could say which one was my favorite. However, I didn't know which one was which, though since it was not labeled of course and I don't expect it to be. The meats were seasoned nicely and tasty.

But they wouldn't understand that. Sometimes it can get packed so I call ahead while driving over. Sometimes they can't keep up with the condiments (salsas / lemon wedges / etc) seem like they're always out. But they're nice enough to cut it up right away if you let them know. Just had my tacos, they were okay. I get drinks separately at the superior market adjacent to the lunch truck or just bring water from home. I was here last night 4/24 - I got a taste of "old" meaning the food tasted such a way it was left out too long, so brought it down 1 star from original 3 star.
