“ I drove 3 hrs from Visalia Ca. I've been following this spot for 2 yrs almost. The tacos are so delicious I wish I lived down the street. Beat chicharron taco I've ever had, with the spoonfuls of beans layered in the bottom is the award winner . I'm going back in 2 weeks cause I can't get enough. Must try ”
“ The tortillas de harina are very good! We live in Norcal so going all the way into Mexicali isn't always so easy. This place scratches that itch!! Ordered a vampiro de asada, 2 tacos de guisado de chorizo con papa and 1 de chicharon. Was worth the drive from Hollister! ”
“ Wow, love their hand made tortillas! Their salsa and sides bar is so neat and well kept. Very decent amount for the price you pay, and the quality and taste is on point too. Will be coming back! ”
“ Listen, I’ve had tacos all over this town/county, THESE ARE THE BEST ONES! The service is great, the tacos are bomb, and the salsa bar is amazing. Stop reading the reviews, go eat here already!!!! ”
“ Top 5 taco stand in LA for sure. And decent prices friendly workers too ”
“ This place is great and something I've been wanting to try for awhile and glad I didn't finally. I had their barbacoa tacos guisados which was very tender and with cheese added. Their salsa bar added a lot to flavor to it and the barbacoa was very tender. Their chikali taco comes with beans and guacamole and I got it with carne asada. The asada was charred very well and seasoned very well also. The beans went well with it and were not soggy. The staff was very nice and helpful in describing what was available, popular, recommended and what they thought it should have. There's some seating next to their shop which is convenient. Their agua frescas was very good also according to my friend. It was his favorite place so far when I took him the multiple taco joints in east LA. I'd come back here to try their breakfast/chorizo items ”
