What customers say?

“ Amazing homemade flour tortillas and flame-grilled meats make this place an excellent bang for your buck. Mexicali style tacos, with cabbage, beans, and guacamole, are a refreshing change of pace from the other street tacos found in the area. ”

“ Really delicious tacos! The pescado was my favorite - perfectly fried and crunchy with fresh fish and toppings. The shrimp, al pastor, carne asada, and soy-rizo (don’t judge me) were all super tasty too with really good spices. The orange salsa left my face radiating heat for a while (in a good way). And also FRESH amazing tortillas - corn AND flour! ”

“ This is a gem waiting to be discovered by the masses! I had a carne asada, al pastor and a pollo street taco and each was incredible! Great service and great food! ”

“ Stopped here on a whim after work. What the place lacks in space, it more than makes up for it in flavor and selection. Had a chat with the owner while waiting for my food. She's an incredible gal. Her food speaks to her passion and love for the regional cuisine of Sonora. The two tacos I ordered were demolished in 3 minutes or less. The place is cozy and small but the food selection is extensive. I ordered one asada taco and one Al pastor. Both were delicious and flavorful. The hand made flour tortillas made the tacos. They were topped with shredded cabbage, chipped cilantro and onions and the accompanying salsa was superbly good. A true family style eatery. Literally felt like I was stopping at a friends house for a quick bite. ”
