Tacos were good but not as great as I've heard. They make their own corn tortillas there and one of mine was a little on the burnt side and a little black in quite a few areas which caused the taco to taste burnt. The other taco was good. They do add lots of meat which is really nice. The onions and cilantro looked fresh. The staff wasn't super friendly but they were okay. It wasn't busy when I visited.
First time trying this restaurant. At first when entering it was kind of hard to determine how to place orders and the process. Once we got help in how to order it was simple. The food was great, seasoned prolly and hot. The steak tacos were on point and had that Smokey flavor. Definitely ordering those again. The cheese quesadilla were awesome too. The location was well lighted and no dark spots. Parking was easy and not too hard to find a spot. We went around 4:30pm on a Tuesday. It has a steady crowd of people coming and going. Service was great, people were awesome and can’t wait to revisit!
Closest thing you’ll get to tacos from Mexico. By far the best tacos in socal and pretty comparable to TJ. … More
