“I normally go to burros and fries across the street but I found this spot on Yelp and read the reviews. They're right, food is delicious, I ordered carne asada fries, a bean and cheese burrito, 5 rolled tacos and a large horchata for $31 that was A LOT of food. Red salsa was spicy and had a good flavor. The restaurant is clean, the service was fast. Great taco shop. Here's a picture of the large order of carne asada fries, it was packed with meat“

“This place is great. We've been coming here since we moved into the area, and the flavors + service are all wonderful. Feels like genuine, traditional cooking and there's always flavors that surprise us here. A tad bit pricey cause of COVID but they're wearing masks and take good care of the place (gotta support the family business owners!!) So far have tried the fajitas burrito (awesome), every taco Tuesday flavor (longanisa and carne asada were my favs), and the carnitas family meal.“

“Excellent food truck carnitas.... They use Gabriel's tortillas, so you know they care about the quality of their food.The tacos surtidos were exactly as they should be...a nice spicy salsa to accompany the moist pork... With a hint of lime to cut through it all... Bravo! Location isn't exactly family friendly... But bonus if you like the locals only dive bar scene.“
