I had three different tacos, the Korean was my fav but they were all to die for, service was great and the atmosphere genuine fun. The chips con queso was a work of art. thanks~

Visiting from out of town and thought we would give a try. Service was friendly and attentive. Chips and queso were good. Food was just OK. The beef taco was all spice and not much flavor. The shrimp taco was bland (but lots of shrimp which is good). The taco salad was also lacking flavor. Maybe just caught on a bad day. Glad we got a chance to try a home grown spot though.

College students playground, so nice a strip, nice little place on the small side so capacitie could be cramped if you get a big crowd but other than that it works and I enjoyed myself with my family, they also have a kids menu. Check it out. The staff was great and they know there dishes.

Got the Korean beef and pollo verge taco and the Korean beef literally had one piece of meat… not worth the price. Pollo verde was good though.

First off Lillien our server was terrific. So helpful so friendly so nice just a pleasure to have her at this restaurant. Food was great very large menu with many choices. Guacamole was definitely better than most places. Drinks were terrific too. Parking is relatively easy nearby and even though I’m not from the area I plan to visit again in the near future

Tuesday and Thursdays are my favorite because certain tacos are $2. Great environment and the severs are very friendly. Food is always great and definitely recommend getting the chips and salsa!

Bel-Air always has great food options, but we seem to have recurring issues at this paeticular Downer Ave location. From getting the wrong food, missing food and, today, no avocado on the tostada. There always seems to be something that goes astray on our visits to this location versus the Water St/Humboldt location (which is a 5 star location).

Went for a quick lunch and was not disappointed by how delicious their tacos are. We tried the rainbow root, soy chorizo, and Jack fruit tacos and they were so yummy and really filling. Their monthly margarita is currently an old fashion flavor and it is so so so SO worth it. 20/10 would recommend
