The men behind the counter and doing the cooking are friendly and you can tell they take pride in their food. This time in we split the floutas which were very good.

Also tried a few pupusas (jalepeno and cheese and revueltas). Tacos were great - light, easy to hold, soft but not soggy, meats were tender and seasoned well, and garnishes were fresh and finely chopped. Pupusas were a tad oilier than I hoped, but generally really good. I also ordered horchata. Probably wouldn't get again. The drink was too sweet and had chocolate plus another flavor (tasted like peanut butter) mixed in, which took away from the typical flavor. Dinner for 3 came out to ~$60 inclusive of tip. Would definitely recommend and I will be back!

My husband and I were vendors at an artisan market that was held here at the Kingston Collection.

I couldn't stop eating the nachos even after I was full! I also didn't want to share the burrito with my husband as it was fantastic. I would definitely make the trip to come get food from here again! :)

I'll keep this one short and sweet. It's a cute idea. Went for a bike ride on the Bristol bike path…read moreand couldn't pass up trying this little cart. I saw a pizza oven, and I saw "taco" and was intrigued. We got a carne asada "taco" to split. Now look, the vehicle for the meat and toppings was literally a personal sized pizza. If you're getting a taco and a pizza, is either aspect of it going to be the best you ever had, nah. And that's what it turned out to be. The pizza was akin to blaze pizza quality. Not hand stretched, instead it was pressed and the crust lacked any good chew or depth of flavor. However, I love pizza, qualify pizza, and sometimes, some not so qualify pizza because pizza is pizza and pizza is life. I like blaze pizza. It's not Pasquale's in South county or Pizza Marvin, but it hits the spot. The meat and toppings could have been more flavorful. They had a whole slew of hot sauces to pick from though, so I went with the Melinda Peri Peri garlic sauce and it kicked up the flavor. Overall, points for creativity. I liked it, it has novelty, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to get it again but if I was ever going for another bike ride with a small group i would entertain it for sure. All in all, for $14ish I was not disappointed. You do get your fill.

This place lives up to the hype - the corn tortillas are tasty and a bit fluffy, but structured…read moreenough to hold up to all the taco toppings and not fall apart. A lot of places double up on the tortillas for this reason, but no need here. We ordered the birria, carnitas, and cabeza tacos, chicken sopes, beans, rice, sweet plantains, sweet rice pudding and horchata. Standouts were the carnitas and cabeza for me - very delicious in their simplicity, the meat is seasoned and cooked to perfection. Birria was also very good but overhyped IMO (novelty factor). The chicken sopes were way bigger than expected, could easily be a meal on its own and the masa tart was pretty good. Our table liked the green sauce to add zip to the food. It was very sunny when we went, so it was blinding and hot to be sitting inside, hope they install a shade at some point. They seem to only serve in takeout containers, so eating at a table requires getting a bit creative for a "plate" etc. There's a small lot behind the building and street parking is pretty easy. I will definitely be returning to try the lengua and more things next time!

The tacos were delish! I usually opt for flour tortillas, however they make their corn tortillas and they are the soft ones, so I wanted to try it as it comes - I was not disappointed! The tacos come in 4 to a meal, so we so split two and two. Naturally, I prefer steak but both the chicken and steak were phenomenal. Lots of flavor!! The taco especial, has onions and cilantro and a nice lime squeeze on the side that is a nice flavor burst and addition. If you want the lettuce, cheese, tomato, etc. then you want the americano version. The tacos come with two sauces, both of which were spicy but you can tell were made/fresh! But that hibiscus tea - wow!! So delish! It was sweet and flavorful and a sip of freshness!! The churros were also incredible. Not that I didn't think I'd like the dulce de leche filling but it was um-yes yum! The outside was nice and crispy obv coated in cinnamon and sugar and then the inside was soft and doughy but not raw dough, just perfection. The dipping sauce was excellent too - they could provide a little bit more of it but we made it work. Anyways, highly recommend. It's fresh and authentic- clearly homemade with good ingredients!! Can't wait to try more from the menu!

This review is for their newest location in Waltham, MA. I've been hopeful for a new taqueria to…read moreopen where there's ample parking and I'm not driving over 20 minutes just to get to the other side of Waltham for tacos. Their tacos are the best that I have had in the area and I've gone to at least half a dozen of local Mexican restaurants looking for tacos similar to ones I've had in Mexico. I love supporting family-owned businesses so this will definitely in my lunch and/or dinner rotation. I went here TWICE in 72 hours - lengua, al pastor, and chicken tacos plus flan dessert are all amazing! Their habanero hot sauce is definitely spicy so I would recommend my spice lovers to try it, you won't be disappointed.

The kitchen appears to be proudly women-run, and the energy shows in both the food and the pace of service. One tip: be specific when you order. We've learned to clearly ask for meat and cheese only in a quesadilla (otherwise it may arrive looking more like a burrito), and to request salsas on the side if that's your preference. Once you know that, the experience is smooth with fast service and consistently delicious food.
