Worth the wait! This is truly an authentic mom and pop shop at an affordable price. Handmade tortillas with some of the kindest staff.

My friend and I came here today. I got the tamales 5/5 stars; so moist and yummy.
My friend got the sopito and he enjoyed it.
I also really liked their horchata.

Outstanding, one of the best tacos I’ve ever had. If, like me, you have trouble finding this place, it’s now called “Mercedes and family.” Their menu is simple, but everything sounded great. I had the big burrito supreme, and it was massive. Delicious beef shanks, and the tortilla was so good I could’ve eaten it plain.
In a town full of great options for tacos, this one really stands out.

This is a delicious quick stop right off the Ave. If you’re unable to visit the establishment, I was told they are currently delivering with UberEats. But if you decide to eat in or pick up in shop, the interior is modern and cozy, they have clean restrooms, and the owner, Erik, is very nice to chat with. Prices are very reasonable, service is really quick, and I was told everything is made as it’s ordered.
On my first visit I tried the Big Burrito and a Strawberry Water. Both were delicious! I’m not usually a huge fan of strawberry flavored things, but the Strawberry Water has real strawberries in it. Almost like blended strawberries with a bit of sugar, water, and ice. Very refreshing.
The Big Burrito was quite good as well. They keep their ingredients simple because they use high quality steak, so it’s just rice, beans, and steak. But everything is super flavorful. Even the rice tastes like it’s been lightly smoked on a bbq. It’s a decent size- I was thoroughly stuffed after eating it. The sauces they offer were a nice compliment. I tried the mild and medium, and was a big fan of the mild. It has a yummy savory flavor that I don’t think I’ve ever tasted in a salsa before.
I’ll definitely be back AND ordering delivery from them in the future.

The homemade salsas and tortillas make the difference between their tacos being good to soooo good! Great service, good prices, atmosphere is okay, could use some color and maybe background music. But the food is authentic and so good.

The carne asada taco was super delicious, and the staff were very friendly. Hands down my favorite beef taco spot in the area

Me and a couple of pals took the long way home from Oregon so we could stop here, and holy smokes – the chile relleno, the tamales, and the birria tacos are all absolutely off the hook. The proprietor is delightful and friendly, the dining room is spotless, and the prices better than reasonable. Absolutely worth the detour!

Here is a photo of Erik the owner talking about growing up as a kid in the Mercedes family restaurant… looks like amazing food is in his blood! You can definitely feel his passion and Love for bringing the best ingredients and flavors together.. from the American Kobe beef to the handmade corn tortillas to the array of delicious homemade salsas… top quality and care is in every bite!
It may cost a little more than a typical taqueria but it is definitely worth it!
Erik is also just a super nice person!
His place is definitely worth checking out!

They are a in-store restaurant (his mama’s restaurant), and then in the evenings and weekends (when he’s not at Bale Breaker on Saturdays), Erik the Mercede’s kid is open in front at the food truck. It’s delicious. Truly.
