"Only $50 pesos for the greatest Torta al Pastor if ever had. Modest size but huge flavor. 10/10"

"Brilliant tacos covering all parts of the beef head. Incredible value for the quality and service. “Rustic” for some snobby tourists, with a lot of locals because it’s great, but their hearts are of gold, and their food even better. Went just before closing at night, and returned the next day for lunch because it was so good. Incredible value too."

"Really delicious and authentic taqueria! We had the tacos al pastor, suadero, longaniza, and lengua (tongue), and steak which were all delicious. Highly recommend and their aguas frescas are delicious and massive!"

"Started with taco de lengua and wow. The meat was so tender and fresh. Then had tacos de pastor and double-wow. The meat was thinly sliced, crispy, well-seasoned, and the tortillas were not greasy. Chugged down an agua de melón and left with a happy belly. Service was good and food was brought out quickly even though it was a busy time."

"So, with the Michelin guide taqueria across the street, I am sure people pass this place by. But their tacos are on the same level. I especially enjoyed the suadero tacos. It's a very small place with a very authentic vibe. The whole staff is friendly too. One special treat for me, though, is their pay de limón. Just get it, it's a yummy dessert."

"Best tacos here are the longaniza (sausage), but really everything is superb! Very quick service! I love this place!"
