    The carne asada tacos are orgasmically delicious. Perfectly seasoned and the salsas are great too. If you like spicy, try the black.

    Carne asada tacos are the way to go here. Don't pass up the beef tongue or horchata, though.

    Definitely get the carne asada, in taco or burrito form. And do wash it down with horchata.

    Coming from a Southern Californian, these tacos are outstanding. The meat is tender and flavorful and the quality is excellent.

    GREAT steak tacos, but keep an eye on rhe guy making your food if you have special requests since they tend to make the food on auto-pilot.
