One of my local street taco spots. You can order tacos and fries, one of my guilty pleasures. You…read morecan tell it's authentic because all the Latino community is deep in here. The smaller tacos come Mexican style with cilantro and onions. They have a bar that offers salsas and other garnishes like radishes and jalapeños. They also offer burritos, soups, tortas, pastries and nachos. They have all the Mexican juices and sodas. They recently moved across the street, which is better. It has its own parking instead of sharing with the gas station. It feels more clean and it is also much bigger. I prefer to order ahead and pick up because there's usually a small wait. But you can dine in, there's plenty of seating now. This place has no frills, so you really probably won't dine in. I have been coming here since 2017 and I have never had any customer service issues. My order is usually the same- tacos and their consume.

As a take out spot I think their service should be faster but it took 20 minutes from walking into the shop and walking out with my food. For lunch, that's probably not what you're looking for because you won't have enough to even eat by the time you get it. Inside, it's just a long long hallway it feels like. Bathroom on one end, and then just echo for days and it's loud. It's just alright, but there are plenty of seating. I want to note that the food is good though. I don't doubt that for sure, I just wished it was faster on a Friday. It seems like they're just either short staffed or it's just super busy.

Since I had a drive home, I asked if all of the nacho toppings could be packed on the side. They didn't hesitate at all, and I really appreciated that they didn't skimp on the toppings like so many places do with to-go orders. Everything was packaged perfectly, and my nachos were just as delicious when I got home. The customer service was every bit as good as the food. Kevin took my order, and he was incredibly friendly, patient, and welcoming. He made me feel like they genuinely appreciated my business. The experience was so good that I came back a few days later for lunch! I saw Kevin again (I'm sure he didn't remember me ), and he was just as kind as before. I also noticed that the rest of the staff were smiling, friendly, and seemed genuinely happy to be there. That kind of atmosphere makes such a difference and says a lot about a restaurant. Delicious food, generous portions, and a team that clearly cares about their customers. I'll definitely be back, and Kevin deserves a special shout-out for making a great experience even better!

It was literally a ghost town people. Sooo...the last carne asado burrito I had was in Aruba and had tremendous flavor, OMG! So much flavor, I ate them every day while visiting. This burrito definitely lacked flavor! I could barely tell what type of meat I was eating, so I had to disassemble the burrito and inspect the meat buried under all the egg. It was basically an egg and cheese burrito. I probably won't be back-guess I should've got the hint when I noticed I was only one in line, LOL.

They are small enough to remember you and treat you like family. The first time I was there , I called my daughter and told her how good everything was that I wandered to bring her something to taste. She asked for a chicken ancho latte and when the waitress came, she said no charge for this. The next time I was there I told them how much my wife loved their home made chips. This time after I ordered, the waitress asked "Don't you want some chips for your wife?" She remembered that my wife was in the hospital. I said yes. After having a wonderful lunch, I got ready to leave and she handed me a free bag of chips for my wife. I love this place. It is not particularly pretty, but it is like dinner with friends.

Everything tasted fresh fresh -- tacos loaded with meat, crisp veggies, and perfectly fluffy rice that wasn't overly salty. The salsa bar is elite. Multiple fresh salsas, pickled veggies, sour cream, and fresh chips & salsa with your order (yes please). They also have fresh-made juices that take the whole experience up a notch. I was told the street tacos, California burrito, and crispy tacos are best sellers... and now I fully get the hype. Authentic flavors, generous portions, and genuine hospitality. Already planning my next visit.

I don't throw this around lightly, but this place gets it right. The moment you hit the salsa bar, you know. Fresh radishes, house-made salsas with real depth, hot carrots--no shortcuts, no watered-down versions. It's the kind of detail that tells you everything before you even take a bite. The food backs it up. From carne asada tacos to a proper California burrito, everything tastes like it should--simple, bold, and done with intention. It genuinely took me back home. The space itself is small, but it carries a ton of character. The service is what really sets it apart--friendly, sharp, and seamless. Watching the team move between Spanish, Korean, and English without missing a beat is impressive and says a lot about the culture behind the place. And that's what makes this spot special. It's Korean-owned, but there's a real respect for the food and the tradition behind it--and they execute it the right way. You get a mix of people in here too--regulars, first-timers, families--all there for the same reason: the food is legit. This has quickly made its way into my weekly rotation. If they had a drive-thru, I'd probably be here every day. Places like this deserve to be supported--not just because they remind you of home, but because they go out of their way to do something right. And this place absolutely does.

BREAKFAST BURRITO REVIEW…read more I ordered 3 breakfast burritos. 2 with just beans, egg, cheese & jalapeño. The 3rd with Pollo (chicken). I went to a different Lil Kiko's last week & was disappointed, so I had to make up for it. I've gone to different locations, so I know how good it can be. I love the breakfast burritos! Full of flavor, nice size & the red sauce that comes with it pulls it all together. There were 3 ladies present when I arrived. 1 spoke English the others Spanish. They were helpful & I was in & out within 8 mins or so. Burritos were delicious as expected. This is one of the good locations.

This place serves a ton of the local Hispanic population, if that means anything to you (and it... should?) Get all of your taqueria favorites as early as 7am. While they offer breakfast tacos and burritos, some of which are cheaper than their lunch counterparts, I usually get the lunch versions. It's just an awesome indulgent breakfast to do something insane like that. Prices are cheaper here, so don't expect your chips and salsa to be included. "A true taqueria should have a salsa bar" is something I'm sure a snob has said, but it's a counter service place in a gas station. You can pick from a red or green house-made salsa.

And, the lady making fresh tortillas from masa was the clincher. I had the Lunch taco wrap with steak.

The wraps came loaded with perfectly cooked and seasoned Mexican rice, homemade refried beans, juicy and tender steak, fresh, crunchy, shredded lettuce, fresh diced tomatoes, crunchy diced onions, garden fresh cilantro, cheese and sour cream. This taco was wrapped in tin foil and placed in a small paper bag, with a side of salsa verde and a side of hot salsa. The wrap literally weighed 2-3 pounds!!! I can honestly say that this was incredible!!!! Everything was fresh, authentic, and lightening fast! We couldn't eat all of our respective tacos! His shredded pork was delicious, but the steak was unanimously better! We carefully wrapped up our leftovers for a midnight snack at the hotel. Do not pass this place up if you are in the area! Worth the short 2-3 minutes off the interstate! It's so good we pinned it to our Google maps and Waze so that we can stop there on the way back home tomorrow!
