Service here is personable and efficient, creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes the dining experience as enjoyable as the food itself.

“ This is a small taco shop that offers a small but flavorful menu to pick from. The prices are good for the portions and flavors. I ordered 3 tacos and a basket of tortilla chips. Adobada, Carne Asada, and Cabeza - Drinks • Various Mexican sodas • No Beer - Corn Tortillas • Tortillas are hand made in house and have a good thickness to hold the juicy meats and fillings. • Tortillas Chips are store bought tortillas that they deep fry themselves. - Meats • Cabeza was very tender with a fatty marrow texture to it. It was good with the sauces but on its own could use some salt or seasoning to enhance the flavor of the meat. with Cilantro & Onions • Adobada On its own was good, tender, full of flavor and not dry. This was the best of the three. with Guac Cilantro & Onions • Carne Asada was good. TJ style for sure. On its own felt dry compared to the others but the meat was good and had a crispness it it. with Guac Cilantro & Onions - Sauces • Red has a good smoky flavor and a mild spicy kick. It had good flavor and I ate this mostly with the chips instead of the Borracho salsa. • Green has a good tomatillo flavor and blended well together. Very well made. I prefer a spicy sauce but kept eating this one with the chips too. • The Borrcho Salsa for the chips I’m not a fan of. It has a certain flavor to it that I can’t get use to.. but it looks good and it’s chunky. Overall I enjoyed the meal and will return again to try their other menu items. ”
“ Service was excellent. The food was had good flavor but I was expecting more meat pieces in my chicharron plate. There was literally only 2 small pieces. The beans had good flavor and the rice was kind of meh. Overall it was decent. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I got a burrito or torta. UPDATE. Ordered a Barbacoa Burrito the next day and it was delicious! Meat was juicy and flavored well and it was a good size. 10% military discount is also a huge plus. ”
“ This place has always been a long time favorite of mine. I originally discovered it when I used to work in the area many years ago. I no longer work nearby and don't exactly live close by either, but still go out of my way to make the occasional trip. That says something considering I must pass by something like 100 other Mexican restaurants on my way there. Everything I've tried on the menu is good, but do yourself a favor and get the mulitas If you haven't tried them already. ”
“ Food was delicious Our pickiest eater took one bite of the torta and demanded his own Food was fresh. Everything came out quick. Service was great. The restaurant was clean. 10/10 ”
