Victor and Ezekiel were phenomenal. They listened attentively and went above and beyond to provide excellent customer service. Highly recommended place for great food Update: La señora in the night was rude and confrontational. She interrupted the lady helping us. It made it difficult to order because she wasn't listening to what we wanted. This hasnt been the first time that shes nit listened to what we order. She was argumentative about the quality then backed off when the newer employee was listening to our order. The tension between the employee’s can be felt while ordering which makes the experience uncomfortable. We ordered puro Cilantro a couple of times and they STILL gave a LOT of onion. MORE than Cilantro itself. Very unappealing and disappointing to say the least. Carnitas are good, we hope this can be fixed to help the environment feel more welcoming and appetizing.

This is the real taco at best! Fresh tortillas wrapping well prepared meats with good pico de Gallo and salsas. I love green salsa or salsa Verde here, and I can almost drink it like an actual drink. The service is a bit crude, but efficient enough. This is a butcher shop, not a sit-down 5 star restaurant. But this is a 6 star meat market. Been coming here since 1977, and things have changed here and there, but it stayed mostly the same. But I miss that big wooden butcher block that the workers used to crowd around to chop up the meat and stick their hack knives directly on the block by the corners. The meat cut up on those wooden block tasted better than it is today. But still, this is as good as it gets for tacos. To wash them down with either Jamaica or Tamarindo in the car is a privilege only available in Santa Ana! Gracias amigos.

Only bad thing that they don’t enforce the mask and the distance of each other when there are people without a mask inside facility. Other then that the best food .

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

I’d like to know why this place doesn’t have management and why the new kitchen people are so rude. Spent $60 on tacos, I’ve been coming here since the 80’s and I’ve gotten the most terrible service. These are my Favorite tacos I drive from LA for.

Aurora Aguilar | Aug 20, 2018

New management, I think, I've yet not experience that kind of service, I've been a patron since the '70's, love their carnitas, salsas, n small tortillitas n iI buy my meats n vegetables n never have had a problem, sorry for your experience 🙏😞 have a blessed day😳
