So this is a hidden gem. Im afraid to but i need to share it with thise crossing the border into…read moremexico. First let me explain something about tacos de cabeza al vapor in Mexico: this type of tacos are consumed and consider a breakfast meal. Yes you eat this in the morning and thats why you see this joints open so early and close so early(most of the time they run out). For this reason i make it my mission to not cross the border anything later than 10 am. You have a couple of options in this wonderful and humble establishment. Cabeza(cheek, cows head beef, sounds weird but truly delicious) and Lengua(beef tongue), as well as conzome(the broth the meat is cooked in with cilantro and onion). The cabeza is would say is better than the lengua. It never disappoints and always full of flavor. They load up each taco and i believe its $15 pesos per taco, i never ask for price i just order and pay after I'm done ;-). And no I'm not worried, these are the mist humble and respectful family you will meet. Aside from the meat their tortillas are unique and quite good. They are different and you will not know what I'm saying until you try a taco. I usually get 4 or 5 tacos and a consome. I prefer the red salsa as it the spiciest and has the most flavor. But they have the green which is also good but less spicy. Try this place and dont be scared. Its your typical hole in the wall mexican taco stand.

Another hidden gem feet away after you have crossed the border…read more This place is ran by all women who seem to be family. $25 pesos for a fish taco. But they also have marlin tacos, shrimp tacos, quezadillas and other great options. I love how this is a fresh made to order fish taco place. They freshly fry the fish in their secret batter and give it to you crispy and pipping hot. You put whatever topping you want except for mayo which they spread on the tortilla for you(i skip it, i hate and dislike Mayo!!!). I topped my 1 taco(i had just ate across the street but was tempted for a fish taco) with cabbage, tomato, red onion with chopped habanero, a charred tomatillo salsa and in it went. Wow! It was truly an amazing bite and quite a happy feeling. The fish was cooked perfectly and the toppings just married the taco together. I wished i had room for more but trust me i will be coming back before i cross the border back to the US. And i definitely want to try the shrimp tacos too. ;-)

There was a brief moment of, "would anyone eat the tarantula if we bought it?" - NAH. We left it for future customers, along with snackable crickets and bugs. It was a fun stop in the desert and cool to see the date palms full of fruit.

I pay for my own coffee and I get my frequent customer reward card punched. My friends ordered 3 coffees and only got one punch on their card. Not 3. I get 1 punch for one coffee. We were told it was per visit and not per beverage. I feel like this is unfair and it undermines what this promotion is suppose to do. Which is to encourage people to go in often. I feel it's deceptive. And I have no problems going to Curley Coffee from now on. I give it 2 stars because the girls do work hard there. But I feel like the owner who I see from time to time there should make it fairer. Otherwise don't even do the promotion.
