Food was delicious! Pollo, Al Pastor, Carnitas, and Asada tacos (names of tacos are pronouns) were fantastic. If I had to rate one first place it would be the Carnitas, a very close second was the Al Pastor. The restaurant was busy and bustling, the staff were super friendly. 4 tacos, a 500ml Mexican coke with a large bottled water was about 17 bucks. Great prices. They do not accept cards, so make sure your ATM card is in working order. Mine is a bit old and it took me a few minutes to get it to work. Definitely want to go back here.

When you come here, do it strictly for the food. The atmosphere can be rowdy. The service is fast but very unemotional somewhat cold. Again you come for the food. I placed a phone order and had my food within 7 minutes. That's the protocol here. I'm on my way there call, get off the freeway Park and phone orders. You don't need to get in line. You just go to the side of the register and let them know and they'll take you right away

Small place but it is really good and it's very affordable. I got a plate and a half liter bottle of coke for about $16. It is cash only but they have an ATM inside.

Love this place because of the food it's so good. The asada is bomb and the green salsa is delicious.

Finally stopped in to order a caldo de res bowl after passing by this popular restaurant for many years. Food was piping hot on this rainy day with lots of veges and beef, side of rice and onions, and warm tortillas. Couldn't have asked for a better plate in this weather. Also ran into a long time musician friend as an added plus. Will return soon.
