review_stars 07/23/2025 - Priscilla S.
I enjoyed the buche, adobada, carne asada, and lengua TJ style tacos, which were delicious and affordable at $1.59 each (now $1.99), appreciate the generous portions and authentic flavors, especially the fish tacos for just a dollar daily, though the outdoor dining area and parking lot could use better cleanup, the service can be slow due to constant busyness, and despite their advertised caldo de res never being available, I'm excited to try more items like the cocktail de camaron and the carne asada plate that I found amazing.
