    Staying in town on vacation and was really craving some tacos. The other reviews are correct, this place is legit. Service and food were both fantastic. Carna asada and al pastor tacos were probably the best ive ever had (ive had a lot). The tortillas/meat were cooked PERFECTLY on all 4 of my tacos and the meat had an incredible flavor! Super impressed with this place, if I were local I would visit every week no question.

    If you like authentic Tacos, this is the place to go. The Staff is really nice. The food is really fresh. The tortillas they use for the tacos are amazing. There’s no reason to eat elsewhere in town when you can get authentic Mexican Food here. If you’re looking for food that tastes like Taco Bell? Don’t eat here because this is authentic Mexican Food.

    Great great food & so delicious . I DO wish the prices were lower for the tacos because the size IS small for $4.00. The nachos are $15 BUT You do taste the difference. I drove from Knoxville. Drive IS worth it. Please support this local mom & pop shop.

    I’ve gone to countless food trucks, and I have to say the quality of food that is provided alongside the service and atmosphere, it’s unbeatable. I can attest the chef’s makes the food with an abundance of love. I would also like to mention their agua Fresca is made from scratch and is so refreshing along side your tacos :). Again, amazing food, made by amazing people. 5 STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
