Quick Summary Excellent food with so much variety and the best corn tortillas ever (the texture is a bit fluffier, almost an in-between a Chinese beef pancake and a regular pancake). Everything we ordered was fantastic. Cash only; we got so lucky that everything came out to just under $40 (the amount of cash I had left). There was a line on a Friday afternoon for lunch, but waited only about 20 minutes in line and about 10 minutes to get our food Food- 5 stars Super rica especiale- this was very good and super juicy. Lots of fatty chunks of pork, so not dry at all Tacos de Rajas- this was my favorite dish. Just so much flavor and balance. Really liked it Queso Fundido- great combination of the cheese with the tomato sauce. Dipping this with the corn tortilla was so good Vegetable tamale- very good as well. A good dish to try out their salsas, which were fantastic (green sauce was very bright and balanced, red/orange sauce had a little kick and really good) Guacamole- this was fresh and pretty standard. It was a good way to balance the heavy meal Horchata- really good and not too sweet. Very fresh ingredients on all their dishes Service- 5 stars Fast casual old-school spot. They don't have a modern POS system, but line moved pretty quickly and we got our food pretty quickly after we ordered Bottom Line Excellent food and great value. The best corn tortillas I've ever eaten. Definitely worth the hype! Bring extra cash to try out more dishes!

The food is out of this world fresh and delicious. Corn tortillas are made by hand and all dishes are made to order. I cannot get enough of the pastor. Bring cash and prepare to wait a bit while they prepare your meal.

Questions & Answers

Why doesn't this restaurant answer their phone so I can make a reservation they are not on open table?

It is very casual, they do not take reservations. You order at the window and seating is first come first serve.

What are the Covid safety practices like here?

They all seem to be practicing all necessary precautions. Wearing 😷 and no one is allowed to eat there. Often there is a long line and the owner comes out and asks for social distancing

Is on-site seating open or takeout only? I'll be there in two weeks either way!

There are a few seats inside, but people were standing up eating outside, ~6 feet apart. There is a ledge about 4' tall that runs around the exterior of the building.
