“ Always the best flavor for carne asada tacos, fresh salsa and guacamole!!!! Highly recommended for best tacos and very clean premises. Very close to the border and plenty of parking. Visited again on April, 2023 and these tacos are still as good as always, I missed the delicious flavors and thank God I had the opportunity of revisiting again, the adobada tacos and the carne asada are my favorites, I also recommend the tripita taco with guacamole and salsa, ooooooh so goooooood Just wanted to recommend again. ”
“ The asada tacos are so good here!! Established since 1974! ”
“ They do not skim on the meat here. They adobada tacos are some of the best I have had anywhere. Their are incredibly taste and moist. The tripe was not bad but tasted a little dry and slightly bland. Not their fault thats just the way most tripe is done. The red salsa they have is spicyyy very delicious but be careful when you use it. Fast service and delicious food is a busy location. Great spot to try. ”
