    Superior taco shop. Te adobada is amazing. The pork fat drippings on the tortillas make the tacos rock. The charcoal broiled carne asada was fresh off the grill. But expect long lines at the fixture.

    This place has the same exact lay out as the taco shops right on the Mexican border. Try one of everything. 😎

    Tried the carne asada fries. They were very good! The meat tasted like it was fresh off the BBQ.

    Well above average taco shop. One of the best in the United States. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu board. Make sure they dip your tortillas in pork fat

    Highest quality tacos I’ve found in California. Tastes exactly like tacos in TJ. Everything is fantastic, I can’t highly recommend enough.

    Wife liked the carne asada. Skip the quesadillas though.

    For me, I was not impressed with this place at all. I had one of thier burritos, which I did not finish or take with me. It was way too spicy for me. I needed several sodas.
