Oh baby! I need to get here more often. I come to the DMV across the street, even though there are at least two other DMVs closer to where I work and live, specifically to come to this restaurant. Awesome, awesome, AAA awesome! Just carnitas now, but still way DELISH. Plenty of meat in the Tacos, and I got the mild and hot salsas. Today is a Wed, and I’m working, but eating the Tacos from this place gives me a little slice of heaven.

Great carnitas. Monster sized tacos. Fresh salsa. And they take debit/credit/contact less pay. Parking lot is terrible but that’s not their fault.

Carnitas are okay, but too dry and without much flavor. This place would be the Best Mexican Food in somewhere like Portland, OR. But in the Bay Area, it just doesn’t compete.
