The location is easy to get to, with convenient street parking that makes popping in for a quick bite simple. I went with a mix: asada, barbacoa, and pollo taco. Each one held its own, but the common thread--the thing that really stood out--were the tortillas. Soft, rich, and perfectly done... honestly, "like butta." They elevate everything they hold. It's a great lunch spot--quick, flavorful, and easy. And it's already clear what's next on the list: coming back to try the breakfast burrito. Simple place, standout tacos, and tortillas you'll remember.

We had the barbacoa tacos, which were delicious and absurdly cheap. You receive just meat on a tortilla, and there is a fixings station where you can add lime, cilantro, cabbage, and the excellent green and red salsas We saw several families order a pint of barbacoa to go, which comes with tortillas and toppings on the side. There was a huge staff, with multiple people taking orders and cleaning the restaurant. The staff were all extremely nice.

Food: 4.5 Carne Asada Fries: For about $11, we got enough food for 2 people. It comes with Carne Asada, beans, pico de gallo, sour cream, guacamole, shredded cheese. The amount of meat was pretty generous for the amount of fries. The only reason that this does not get a five is because I've had slightly better Carne Asada at other places, but this is still way better than the generic Filiberto or its predecessor Los Victors. We will be back to try other items on the menu. Service: N/A I can't really comment on the service as we have only gotten takeout but they made our food fairly quickly and were very nice.

I loved it and will definitely be back. The potatoes were perfect size, not too big or too small. They put a proper amount of cheese as well.

The tacos and overall atmosphere definitely deserve 5 stars. That said, I do miss the old salsa bar setup where you could enjoy as many salsas as you wanted for free. It's a little disappointing that the salsas are now an extra charge, especially since prices overall have gone up. Even with that change, the quality of the food and the experience keep me coming back.

First time visitor to this establishment, but not my last…read more I felt like I was in an old Mexican village. The building is rustic with a gravel lot. The property just looks very culturally historic. Reminded me of my time in Mexico. As you walk in , there is a counter on the left to order your food. They offer fountain drinks as well as cold bottled beers. There is a salsa bar with maybe 10 salsas to try. I asked for recommendations, and was advised to try the taco 4 pack 2 pairs of meats of my choice. I got the carnitas and the barbacoa, with a side of rice and beans and chips , plus a fountain drink. The carnitas were absolutely fantastic. Tender, crispy and seasoned well. The barbacoa was juicy and tender as well. The chips were crispy but maybe not home made? Didn't matter, as the tacos were clearly the star. The beans were cheesy and the rice had carrots and peas and onions, and maybe corn. You get free refills on the fountain drinks. Mexican music played over the speakers and it was nice with it on or off. I feel like I found a gem. I didn't check the prices because it wouldn't have changed my mind. I later learned it was $31 for 4 street tacos, beans, rice, chips, and a fountain drink. Will I pay it again ? Gladly.

All stringy white cheese with yummy meat topping. So good...yum! Then the birria tacos. OMG! So freaking good. The tacos are served with consume, beans, and rice. And, yes, *dip* the tacos in the consume. It's so fabulously savory and delicious. I think these are the best tacos I've ever had. Ever. The consume is worth drinking. Yes, yes I sure did pick up the bowl and drink it after I'd finished my tacos. And the beans...they somehow taste just like what my mom made when I was a kid. The rice was also exceptional. Our server was John. We were there in the middle of the afternoon and service was quick. Apparently, they have taco specials on Tuesdays and all you can eat on Thursdays (sign says before 6pm). This place is going onto our frequent list for sure. So yummy.

My take out order was ready instantly in a weekend evening! Ready to pick up mere minutes after I placed the order. The employees were super nice! The Birria Pizza is a generous size! I would describe it more like a Birria quesadilla with extra cheese on top, but it was pretty tasty! I liked the sauces on top, and the green salsa on the side was a great accompaniment. The consommé was a little bland, but there was enough going on with the pizza that I didn't really need the consommé. They have a Wednesday special that includes the Birria pizza and 2 agua frescas for a perfect meal for 2!
