    I came here on a sunny Saturday by my lonesome. Me time. I have been meaning to try this spot for awhile. It is seriously in a rough patch 'hood of Norwood Ave. It stands by itself as a shack. A few plastic tables to dine on. I got 6 tacos. I wanted to sample. Asada, adobada, buche, tripas, cabeza and lengua. I think the buche was the best. They were good at $1.75-$2 per. But they could use larger corn tortillas. They were too small even doubled. The amount of meat in each was just fine. Onions, cilantro and hot sauces was a self serve station. All outdoor dining. I did have an upset stomach that night but unsure if it was due to this place. The condiments were covered but the radishes were browning and I avoided that. A suggestion is to fill the ice under the trays as it was all melted to water from the new heat of a 75 degree Spring day. The tacos were good but Im unsure about returning unless the sanitary methods upgraded.

    It's a cool spot with plenty of parking. I'm on the hunt for delicious tacos and while the al pastor was a little dry, it was flavorful. The chicken tasted good, too. With prices these days, $6.51 for 3 tacos and a drink is great value. The service was very friendly, the food came out piping hot and quick. I will be back.

    Decent tacos but the meat lacks good flavor/seasoning. Overall the tacos were good and at a great price. They are street tacos and small. The meat is diced very small and doesn't have enough flavoring. I liked the grilled onions but these were minimal. Salsa were just hot and did not have much flavor. Overall a good place for cheap tacos.

    Best tacos in Sac! Guess they changed their name. Still the same bomb tacos. Steak and tripe is my favorite with their green salsa and horchata!

    Small quesadilla & taco

    Can't believe I almost past this place up ! From ordering to receiving my order was great & efficient. I had ordered a small quesadilla with Carne Asada and a Carne Asada taco as well. Both were so delicious from the quality of the meat, being tender and seasoned just right. also love how they put cheese on the outside layer of the quesadilla it's a five out of five stars for me!

    Al Pastor is Beautiful and sooo good!!Wish they had the pineapples but still delish!!

    Food was great!! However they were out of pineapples and that's my fav part sooo that's the only reason for the 4 stars!

    Three el pastor tacos and a horchata

    One of the best el pastor in Sacramento. Can't beat the 6.21 special three tacos and a Horchata. I recommend this place to anyone.

    Been looking for a new local taco spot and this is definitely it. Tried the special with three tacos de al pastor and a drink. Also tried the quesadilla de asada. They are a little small but delicious. The horchata was so good! I'll be back soon

The consistency and quality keep bringing us back. We ordered the Shrimp al Mojo de Ajo, Carnitas Torta Ahogada, and the Cielo, Mar y Tierra Fajitas. Every dish was delicious, packed with flavor, and prepared perfectly. The shrimp was well-seasoned, the torta ahogada was satisfying and full of flavor, and the fajitas offered an excellent combination of meats and seafood. One of the highlights of this restaurant is their salsa selection. They have some of the best salsas around, and the fresh chips paired with the grilled onions are the cherry on top. Those little extras make the experience even better. Great food, consistent flavors, and quality service every time. It's worth the drive for us, and we'll definitely continue stopping by whenever we're in the area.

And I cannot express in words how excited I was for this location to open up a few years back. So if you're tired from shopping head on over to the restaurant for delicious tacos! Or drop in for taco Tuesday when their street tacos are a little over $2 each. I usually order the carnitas (drooling, has the right amount of soft and crispy bites), carne asada, shrimp and fish tacos! I have also tried the quesadilla which is packed with meat so there's bang for my buck. They put a good amount of meat on the tacos and toppings as well, so I get full pretty fast because of all the protein. Can't forget to mention the complimentary, fresh salsa bar with the grilled onions and jalapeños! The chips are mostly fresh, I have gone on some days where it appears and tastes like the chips were double fried and stale. But overall, on most days, the chips are warm and fresh. The staff are friendly, hard-working and they keep the place spotless and clean! It's a taqueria I have gone to several times in the past and will keep going back to for the refreshing margaritas, yummy tacos and excellent customer service. FYI- I believe they offer slightly lower prices if you pay with cash versus paying with card so it might be a helpful thing to know for people who carry cash.

Lots of different salsas and toppings to try. I think the drinks are $7-10. I love this place. I have to drive almost an hour to get here but I try to time it out right if I'm in the area as they open at 6pm though they were serving people earlier one time so maybe they're flexible. The seasoning on both the asada and the pork with pineapple is amazing. They have the pork on the spinning thing so it's super juicy. The asada has a flat grill char. It's just so tasty. I tried the baked potatoes for the first time at this location and it was a little bland but they add packets of salt. I got home and added things to my liking and it's one of my favorite meals. I get it with carne asada. It can feed multiple people/ servings. The pina was delicious but I imagine it may get watered down throughout the night. Street parking only as they're on the corner of a Main Street.

I ordered 4 tacos and one large drink, paid with a $20 bill, and received only $1 back. No receipt was provided and no explanation of the charges was given. Good food is important, but so is trust.
