I’ve been there twice and it’s really amazing… Their taco El Pastor is the real deal and I have no idea why I don’t visit here more frequently?!
The staff is really friendly too. It looks like the rest of the menu would be good as well but all I ate here is the El Pastor street tacos

I truly enjoyed trying this place yesterday. I went for lunch, and I’m returning from now on (especially because they have more than one vegetarian option on their menu).
The flavor is definitely there; the staff is friendly, and their menu is extensive enough with good options but still not overwhelming to focus on continuing to perfect the dishes they offer.
Keep in mind the place is not too big, and there are only a few parking spots, but it is worth your time looking for a parking spot!
I ordered “torta de huevo” -it comes with tomatoes, onions, avocado, jalapeños, and cheese. It was TASTY!! And with real telera. When you give it the first bit, your mind will transport you to your favorite lonchería in Mexico.
Bonus: They bring you (with your order) their tasty and homemade red and green salsas!
I highly recommend it!

This has some amazing and hard to find eats. Get the suadero and chicharrón prensado tacos! Asada and al pastor are good but the suadero and chicharrón prensado are home runs. Perfect mix of crispy, smoky and tender brisket for the suadero. Chicharrón prensado was spicy and the right mix of chewy and tender. Horchata was also perfectly not too sweet.
Tacos are on the small end, so you probably need at least 3 for a meal.

Delicious Al pastor tacos served from the trumpo. Order first and sit down and wait for your delicious tacos. Their green salsa is the best. Parking is hard to find, consider carpooling.
