Great tacos and Gordita's. I was referred by a friend to check this place out and it was a good authentic type of Mexican.

Excellent though there's no tamales. They stopped making them. Very clean. Salsa is great and has a slight sting. Chicken quesadilla was delish, as were the steak tacos.

THE best!!!!! Tacos in BR!!!! Absolutely love it!!! I think it has good prices for the quality! They give radish and sauce that is delish! I have recommended it to everyone I know. The service is fast, I usually order to go but I have my order in less then 10 minutes.

I always drive past this place but finally had the time to go in a try their food. I had the gorditas. Although it typically comes with three, I asked for two and that was more than enough (almost struggled to finish, haha). They were pretty good. Wish I had more sauce to diversify the flavor though. My friend (who's Hispanic) had the tacos and she says they're some of the best tacos she's had in BR - so if you're on that search, definitely check this place out. I'm excited to return in the future and try out more of their menu and their tacos!

Definite hole-in-the-wall type of place. I rarely dine in and usually do take out maybe once a month. The tacos are $2-3 each and oh so flavorful. They give you a grilled onion and jalapeno on the side along with radish and the green sauce. I am also a big fan of the chorizo gordita. I think this is the best tacos in BR, for sure. The service is quick and the food is cheap. Go support them!

After coming here the second time, I got a way better experience. The service improved, and the food that I got was all delicious. I may not have gotten the right thing the last time that I was here. From the last time that I was here, the waitress and also cashier was the same person. This did not change. However, there was a second person that came by to help us refill on water and help bring food to the table. My friends and I sat down and got our food relatively quickly after ordering it. The waitress gave us chips and dip and kept supplying it if we requested it. She was a really great waitress. She also filled up our waters when we were running low. She was really helpful and provided us with exceptional service. The food that I got was amazing. I posted a few photos, but the beef burrito and the beef taco were both really tasty. The beef burrito was quite big and had a lot of stuffing in it. It was hard for me to finish it after having the taco. It was well worth the price for me (7.99 for a burrito) and it tasted great as well! The taco was really great, too. The beef was juicy and seasoned well. The tacos were stuffed beyond what I could eat. I had to pickup the parts that fell and ate it afterwards. This place has improved so much since I came here the first time. Therefore for the taste of the food and the service that I received that day, I am bringing my review of this place up from a 3 to a 5 star. You definitely just have to get the right items to eat such as the taco, the gorditas, the tostadas, and the baleadas. I am definitely recommending this place for people to try.
