“ Great taco shop! All day breakfast and tacos. Authentic! We got the chips and pico de gallo, carne asada burrito, and a carne asada taco. Total was about 21. A true hole in the wall. Food was fantastic. Employees were friendly. I will definitely come here again. ”
“ Loved this restaurant! Food was actually authentic Mexican food, unlike other “Mexican” restaurants. The food was served with a good quality for a good price. Went here twice with my family on vacation and was satisfied both times. I got #11, “Carne Asada Plate,” and they filled my plate both times. My family either got a burrito or torta, and they were huge! The flour tortillas were super big and fresh. Love how friendly the workers were! I would for sure recommend this Mexican restaurant to anyone who’s looking for a real authentic restaurant. (pictures added below were taken after already starting eating) ”
“ As a new resident of this part of town, so pleased to find this gem of a street taco spot. Addicted to their crunchy-tender fish tacos piled high with slaw. And staff meet you with a big smile every time. They have two other locations but this is the OG. ”
“ Amazing... Just maybe upgrade the seating. Not bad. But room for growth. But a must go. Must eat. Chimmichunga was amazing. Staff was friendly. Salsa was great. ”
“ Best affordable street tacos in the city. Crispy-battered tender fish topped with crunchy cabbage and flavorful pico de gallo. Friendly staff in a clean, comfortable environment. Three locations but this is the OG. ”

“ Always the best Mexican food in the world!!!! Very nice and very fast, paid with debit card, didn't have any cash on me. Was so pleased I left and came back just to tip them, best Mexican food ever!!! If you haven't tried it I suggest you should ”
“ I ordered Drive-Thru breakfast burritos. Honestly, they are too damn big and I would prefer tacos instead. Tortilla was fresh and my sausage & egg and sausage and baking burrito was awesome. I will be back. ”
