I have been looking for the quality of street tacos I remember from Southern California and can’t believe it took me this long to come here! I tried an assortment and loved everyone, but the shrimp taco and the carnitas were insanely good. So happy to have found a new favorite spot!

Real good food and healthy portions. The waitress was real nice and accommodating. Prices are reasonable and everyone talks to u from the staff.

Literally, the WORST tacos I have ever tried. If my job wasn’t up the street I wouldn’t have tried it. The tacos were dry. They came with cheese but barely a sprinkle. I’m assuming to make you pay for “extra cheese”, and they came with lettuce and tomato which wasn’t typical but I figured I’d give it a shot. Bad choice. It was expensive and NOT worth it. My daughter got carne asada tacos that had dry, under seasoned meat. She hated them. The beans weren’t good either and it’s hard to mess up refried beans and rice. I would tell anyone to not eat here.

Very disappointed. At one time they made great burritos. I ordered two Carne Asada for my family.- I would’ve gladly paid for extra meat.- As it was, it was mostly refried beans- Very disappointed. They’re also smaller than they used to be. Do not recommend.

There seems to inconsistency in the food. The wet burritos were good. Because it highlights fish on the outside I wanted to try something with fish other than “fish taco” advertised outside. The only other dish was fish burrito. Big mistake. I didn’t taste any fish but there was a lot of rice and black beans ! No flavour. Too bad.

This was my first time here. It’s an unseasonably chilly eve and I find being inside here is warm, cheerful and welcoming.

I know this place is known for their fish tacos, but I have certain dishes I use as benchmarks. So I decided to go with one I use for this cuisine – the “wet” Chile Verde Burrito. It passed with flying colors.

Served filling the length of a large platter and swimming in tangy chile verde sprinkled with cheese and a dollop of sour creme, it looked as tasty as it turned out to be. And filling. Good price, too.

How can it get any better than that combo?

Plus, they have now earned a place on my ‘to do’ list, to come back and try those fish tacos

P.S. – Now I’m back for my second visit and am having a fish taco and a shrimp taco. Others have criticized for small meat portions. I’m afraid I have to agree this time. But–not bad at the price. I’m just disappointed I didn’t see a ‘grande’ option for those if us inclined.

Yet, the food is tasty and I like this place.

If you go in person, you have to order and pay at a kiosk in the store. It does not seem to work, but ends up charging you anyway. They do not speak English, so they cannot fix it. Now I have to dispute it with my credit card.

I’m so disappointed in this place. They used to be really good, service was great. Of recent the service is not so great. Food would be missing something, minor issues I let it go. But this time terrible! They threw a burrito in with nothing on it and tossed some sauce on. I had to drive back to exchange for a remake. It took over a hour of travel time for the exchange. It was no better than what got before. They just threw some watery extra sauce on it. Not going back to this place again, must be under new ownership and didn’t know about it. Wish the old owner was there. And if its under same own, they need to clean house. Wish I could give zero star!

I got the nachos supreme with steak. Food was mediocre, they just grated some mozzarella cheese on top with a scoop of guac and sour cream + beans of choice. The chips were okay, I always prefer thick chips for my nachos and the ones they had were thicker than thin (not thick enough for my taste though). The cheese could have been heavier, or they could have had their own in-house nacho sauce.

What really leads me to rate this place as 2/5 is how slow it can be. I went during lunch and called in advance to ask how long it would take for my food to be ready. Guy said 5-10 minutes, cool. I get there and there are only two people ahead of me, I don’t think it will take long. About half an hour later… finally I get my food. I don’t understand why it took so long to get my food ready, or why they told me it wouldn’t take long. I ended up rushing to scarf it down since my lunch break was almost done.

Honestly at the pace they go it’s better to eat at Gordo’s
