    Taco stand set up

    Food was a 10 and they were awesome guys! Really enjoyed all the sides as well. We had chicken, carne, and pork.

    Chicken tacos!

    AMAZING!!! Best tacos ever. Such a great experience! The tacos were fresh and flavorful. It's a must.

    Just went to a party where Johnny was catering and the tacos were AMAZING!! 5 stars - will be hiring him for my own parties!

    Amazing food, amazing service! Johnny was an 11/10! (My 8yo also says "these were the best tacos I ever had in my life")

    We hired terrific tacos for our party. Oscar, the owner has great customer service and responds in a timely manner. Alex and Ricky were our servers, they showed up on time and started setting up immediately. We did the 3 meats: beef, chicken, and pork. Handmade tortillas, yum! We also had quesadillas. All the fixings were provided- onions, cilantro, limes, red and green salsa- if I remember the red is spicy. There may have even been a mild salsa. Rice and beans. We also did churros- freshly made. The churros included chocolate and caramel syrup. Definitely recommend Oscar and his team. Great job and food was Terrific!

    Carne asada tacos, carnitas tacos, rice, and beans.

    Johnny and the team put out an amazing spread for our son's high school lacrosse team! Hire them... You won't be disappointed.

    Wanted to try some tacos while out here and this one had good reviews. It was also near our hotel…read morewe were staying at in Gaslamp. They have drawings all over their walls which was fun to look at. They have a few specials which are a good deal if you're going to get a drink anyway. I love c that c they had a self serve salsa bar. Must get the chipotle shrimp taco! 10/10 with flavor. Battered fish taco was ah ok.... Salmon taco was great too 10/10. Service was prompt. We had chips and salsa while we waited so it was cool. Overall, I recommend checking this out and trying the chipotle shrimp and salmon taco!

    I stopped by on a Wednesday after a fútbol game and found it to be a great late-night option…read more Ordering is simple. You walk in, place your order at the counter, and find a seat. There were a couple of groups dining in and someone picking up a to-go order, but there was still plenty of seating available. The employee working the counter was friendly. They also serve alcohol, and during my visit drinks were 20% off. Options included Pacifico, Modelo, Blue Moon, hard seltzers, and a selection of canned craft beers. I ordered: * Mahi Mahi Taco: the fish tasted fresh, and I liked the crispy onions on top. There was quite a bit of sauce, which made it pretty messy to eat. While the fish was good, it felt like a very heavy taco overall. * Surf & Turf Taco: this was loaded with steak and topped with two flavorful shrimp. The shrimp had an amazing flavor, and this taco was much more enjoyable and balanced. Overall, the service was great, the prices were very reasonable, and the protein quality was excellent. My only critique is that the tacos felt a little overdone with toppings and sauces when the quality of the protein could easily stand on its own. Still, it's a solid spot for an affordable late-night bite. One thing to note: there are no restrooms available inside the restaurant.
