Got the al pastor and Pollo tacos. The Pollo had some flavor. Also got an asada Burrito. Burrito was the best part. The red sauce was pretty good. Had a slight smoky flavor. Getting food was quick and easy.

Friendly staff, great owner, and the best Al Pastor tacos on this side of the border. The place is so clean and well kept you could eat off of the floor. Keep up the great work Johnny!

Good tacos! We've been here several times, I haven't really tried anything else but the tacos - except the flan, which I wasn't a big fan of just for the texture, the custard was kinda old and chewy. But the meats are great! Food is delicious and fresh, tortillas have a great texture, and the salsas are good. Price is pretty competitive with other brick-and-mortar taco joints. The restaurant is clean, lots of seating, clean restrooms, plenty of parking.
