  Koran Asada and Barbacoa are my favorite! I use to to go every week, until they changed their hours. I try to still go from time to time. Wish they'd extend their hours.
  
  Always recommend friends and have yet to hear one complain. Staff is always so nice and welcoming.
  
  If you're looking for a good taco spot, then you must try it!
  
  Tortillas are made by hand. Have tried their bowls and majority of their tacos. Everything on the menu is really good. 10/10 recommend

  Yet another miss from Yelp reviewers. With a 4.5 stars rating, I was expecting the food to be amazing.
  
  Had the coconut, barbacoa, korean asada, and cochinita tacos. One word comes to mind. Americanized.
  
  Salty yet lacking flavor. Unfortunately, I will not be coming back.

  I enjoyed this little find in the neighborhood. There is a little parking lot for free and there are indoor & outdoor seats. You order inside then seat yourself.
  
  We had a few types of tacos - I had the chicken tinga and mole almendrado. For $3 a piece, they honestly do give a good amount of piece. I was more than full with the three I ordered. We also ordered chips & guac on the side - guac was freshly made and the serving size can be served between 2-3 people.
  
  If I'm ever back in the area, I'll come here again.

  These tacos are not your usual street tacos. These are authentic, unique, and can tell these tacos take more time to make. I got the Korean Asada, Tropical T, and their barbacoa. In my opinion, I think I enjoyed the barbacoa and tropical t the most! The barbacoa taco is juicy and the meat was moist and not dry at all. The Tropical T is also my personal favorite because the taste felt so fresh and shrimp was so crispy which I loved!

  Where do I start, this quaint small restaurant, adorned with papel picado, is great! The tacos are very flavorful. I tired 3 of them and a bit of a burrito. I have no critiques other than maybe restock the restroom with hand soap more frequently. When I went, the dispenser was pretty much empty. I was able to wash my hands but I'm sure some people weren't able to.
  
  On to the food, it was so good! The taco de barbacoa was so good. The meat was tender and tasty. The red salsa was spicy but a great addition to the taco. The fish taco was amazing. The combination with cranberries and the crema sauce worked great together. Also the shrimp taco was so crunchy and refreshing! Would totally make the drive again and try more tacos! The burrito was good too!
  
  Ask for the agua de limon y chia, it's sooo yummy! And thirst quenching!
