“ Some of the most delicious tacos I’ve ever had in my life! I came 30 minutes before closing and this place was packed for a reason. Each taco was around $3-$4 which can get a little pricy but it was super worth it. I’ll be making more trips here. ”
“ Absolutely amazing!!!! First time trying them out was tonight, and I've lived in this area for 2 1/2 yrs. Wish I would have discovered them sooner. Tried the Pastor on corn and flour, they were both great, but that taste on flour was superb! Definitely worth the $2.50. Will be back for many more tacos to come! Oh, nd the green salsa is ”
