Tacos are amazing! The bistec and barbacoa were my favorite but they were all great. Home made corn tortillas are wonderful as well. Call ahead to order ribs on the weekend, deliciously fatty and charred. Will be back!

If I could rate it higher I would. Starting from the family all the way to the food and the dogs it was an 11/10 experience. The family (and pancho) sat and ate and talked with us and they were so amazing and nice. The food, ESPECIALLY the homemade tortillas, was phenomenal. If you ever are driving by or are at COTA, you need to visit. Don’t let the look from the street deter you from stopping by. It was definitely worth it.

Don't let looks deceive you, service was amazing and the food was even better!!!! Got some menudo (was my husband's favorite), barbacoa tacos, and breakfast tacos (bacon and chorizo one)

Tacos here were really good. They only have corn tortillas, but the corn tortilla that they make is amazing. Very light and doesnt overwhelm the rest of the taco like most corn tortillas. The Barbacoa and Chorizo Egg and Potato were amazing. If I am ever near the area again I will stop back by to get some more. Prices are very reasonable as well. Great little hidden gem near Ciruit of the Americas.

This place has some excellent food and the friendliest folks around. Everything is handmade and delicious. I had the Sopes with Pastor and they were so good I ate them before I could take a picture to put on this review. I highly recommend them if you’re in this part of town and looking for some tasty food.
