Luckily I stumbled across this taco spot instead of going to In-N-Out one day. Safe to say it was one of the best decisions I've ever made! This taco spot is super clean, super fresh, super friendly, and all around perfect. I feel like if I close my eyes and you told me I was in Mexico again, I would believe you. The tacos are that good! Would give it 10 stars if I could.

Lovely taco shop. Prices are better than chains like Chipotle, and it's closer to authentic Mexican style.

Came and got a super burrito and it wasn't bad but I honestly don't remember much about it. They're parked up on the curb where the car wash is so no parking lot but you can park on the street but be careful when crossing because people drive a bit reckless in the area and aren't paying much attention. I want to come back and try their tacos so may provide an update if I get the chance.

Criminally underrated spot. I could gatekeep...but the owner is nice, food is fire, and he def deserves more business. Just park on the streetside and you should be good
