    WHEN I TELL YOU I DRIVE FOR MILES TO GET THESE BURRITOS!!! OMGGGGG!!! I've been coming to this little stand for years now, and the quality has remained the same. They've even added some new items. But I stick with the originals, tacos, burrito, or Quessas. The only letdown is that the guy across the street in the tent lives with pigeons and rats... but as long as you don't look across the street, you're good!!!

    I might have "parked" the car (pulled over in the crosswalk, slammed brakes, thrown the hazards on) like a maniac, but the tacos are worth it. Al Pastor is excellent. Will be back, most likely every time I drive by when the grills are fired up.

    Great tacos and great people! I only had enough cash for one taco, and they were kind enough to throw in an extra. Much appreciated!! They were delicious! Highly recommend.

    Used to go crazy for these tacos when I lived in the area. My favorites are the cabeza, lengua, and al pastor. They are usually open pretty late, and parking can be hard to find at times. But, it’s worth the wait once you finally get to eat them.

    Hidden gem and it's a MUST visit. Family is super nice and the best tacos sicne I've been to Mexico. Fresh light and full of flavour. $2 tacos you can't beat it.

    Outstanding authentic tacos with incredible value! This place absolutely delivers on both quality and affordability. The staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming , which makes the whole experience even better. They recently started making their own corn tortillas in-house , and you can definitely taste the difference - they're fresh, warm, and have that perfect texture. The menu is extensive with plenty of options , but I keep coming back for the al pastor, which is absolutely fantastic . The asada is also excellent and perfectly seasoned . But here's the real standout: the Vampiro is a must-try! The way they crisp up the tortilla with cheese creates this amazing base that holds all the toppings perfectly - it's genius and delicious . Speaking of toppings, they don't hold back. The generous portions come loaded with fresh cilantro , onions, creamy avocado , and my personal favorites - the tangy pickled onions and those addictive spicy cucumbers . Everything is fresh and flavorful, and the lime wedges add that perfect finishing touch . For the quality and portion sizes, the prices are incredibly reasonable . This is authentic street-style Mexican food done right . Seriously, do yourself a favor and try the Vampiro - you won't regret it!
