A delicious variety of Mexican classics. We had a selection of tacos (lengua, al pastor, and quesabirria) and the mixed fajita plate. All the meat was cooked perfectly. The chips and salsa are also good and come with a (tasty though mild) pureed salsa and a pico de gallo. Note: no alcohol sales.

Was visiting a friend in the area and had a few errands to run around DTMV. I was craving Mexican food so found this cute little taqueria. I'm surprised at the reviews as everything was wonderful. We had the chips and salsa (both salsa rojo AND pico de gallo...) with 6 tacos -- pastor, lengua, and carne asada. The service was also super friendly. The pricing was also on point. Delicious, cheap, and friendly staff.. what more could you want?!?!?! Will definitely be back..

I've been to DTMV countless times, and I never knew this restaurant existed. I just happened to see it when I parked in the lot behind it. I was heading to a different restaurant, but when I saw this, I decided to give them a try. I ordered the enchilada plate. It comes with 3 enchiladas with your choice of red, green or mole sauce, rice, beans, lettuce, guacamole, and sour cream. I went with red sauce. The red sauce was good, but I should've tried the mole tho. Next time. I also asked to have one with cheese, chicken, and carnitas. Food came out pretty quick, under 10 minutes. Everything was delicious. Out of the 3 enchiladas, my favorite was the carnitas. Chicken was just ok. My mom ordered the fajitas, which looked really good too. She liked it. I will definitely be coming back!

Best Breakfast Burrito in the Bay Area. This review is for this places breakfast burrito it'sreallythe only thing I get here. If you are looking for a great tasting breakfast burrito this is the spot. Fresh ingredients and the perfect amount of meat, potatoes, cheese, and salsa. I really hadlte it when a burrito is super sloppy and wet. This one is just right, and you don't have to worry about it falling apart or getting all over the place while you eat. Only negative about this place is the sodas seem a little overpriced. Almost 3$ for a can of coke and almost 5$ for a Mexican soda.
