Best tacos I've ever had I think! Real nice people, good prices, and great food. What else can you ask for? Will be returning
The menu below shows the new prices. The barbacoa beef was very tender and tasty, so I'd recommend that. The rice and beans were just so-so. The covered tables in front of the storefront don't protect you much from the wind, so prepare to take your styrofoam containers and go home to eat.
Stopped there on a whim while looking for a restaurant that was actually open that wasn't fast food. The place looked very nice and welcoming and the atmosphere was very chill and relaxed. I got the chicharron burrito, the flautas, and tried the menudo. Everything was a hit. The food was delicious and plentiful and it was very budget friendly. The staff member was very kind and helpful with the ordering process and made the experience very welcoming. If I ever come back through the area I will definitely be stopping by to eat here again.
Delicious selection of Mexican food. Easily seen from main street in town. Limited parking out front but more possible on nearby street. Friendly service and staff. Eat out front on benches under cover.
Solid spot for fast and easy Mexican food. Walk up counter with covered outdoor seating. Fast service lots of food options. Not a ton of food for the money but still a solid joint. Super convenient location right off national parks highway on the south side of Carlsbad
You could take the food to go or you could eat on the outside covered patio area they had. I got the Barbara tacos and a Mexican fanta. Hubby got the tripas tacos and a Mexican coke and little one got rice and beans with cheese. We also got a mangonaeda from the little snack truck connected to it. Spent a decent amount. The food was good. Wasn't bad at all. I recommend but more recommend for a person who is drunk or hungover because they would chow down on this. It was just a bit on the oily side for me. That the only bad thing really. They had great customer service and the food was done pretty quickly as well. So, yeah. Good food, good atmosphere
So good! Authentic, fresh ingredients, beautifully prepared meats, rice & beans. Barbacoa was melt in your mouth. Salsas were bold and flavorful. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!
Update: I drove back up, they made it right abs apologized. Thank for doing that. I do not eat meat. I ordered a egg, cheese, and green chili burrito for 8 dollars. Get back to the hotel. It's just meat
