This restaurant is outstandingThis restaurant is outstanding. It's a nice family-run business always friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The food is always delicious. The atmosphere is fun as well.
Stopped in and got 2 chorizo and 2 Al pastor tacos - very good! I will definitely come back.
Great food and awesome service. Quick and easy. Love the chips and queso! Look forward to going back each time for a great experience and of course yummy food! Authentic!
The food is so good! The owner is also extremely welcoming and nice. There is a topping bar area with lots of interesting options besides your normal lettuce and tomatoe. There are several different salsa and sauce options as well as grilled jalapeños and pickeled cactus to name just a few of the offerings. The interior is more fast food restaurant style but don't let that fool you the food here is the star!
Wow the service alone was 10 stars, they def know how to run a business, super friendly and loving. This place is small and packed and I know why, this is a slice of home for me, since moving here I noticed there's no 'taco shops' like California and barely any Mexican food (only sucky restaurants claiming to be authentic). So I was happy just to see a sign that said TACO SHOP! That made me really excited to try this. We ordered Birria tacos, carne asada fries, carne asada burrito and drinks, they were so nice to offer us rice since we got no dairy on anything. Once we got the carne asada I was happy to see it was authentic carne asada but it was missing the flavor of it sadly, the rice is good and the hot sauces are great especially the roasted red one (hot like it should be with tons of flavor). The birria tacos are what shined here, they were exactly how they should be and amazing!!!! I believe tortillas can make or break a meal, I didn't realize how hard it is to find some good authentic tortillas around here, I've been looking for months and finally I can say these are pretty authentic, the corn ones are what you find in Mexico and California and the flour tortillas are good too (the best over here that I've found). Word of advice to people ordering the burritos, ask for it not to be toasted, I'm sorry but burritos are way better just warmed up not crispy, try it, you'll thank me later. After eating I came back to order more tortillas to take home since I'm tired of making them almost everyday, they were so kind to share a dozen with me, I appreciate that so much!!! I will 10000% be back!!
