What the what? 5 stars – worst Mexican food I have ever had – so bad I wanted to stick my finger down my throat and vomit, I ended up stopping at the truck on university to get the taste out of my mouth. Pulled pork tacos were at least a week old / hope I don’t wake up in middle of the night with food poisoning- we are all about supporting local and supporting small restaurants, I guess we will stick to our favorites. Margarita was just the mix- flushing 50$ down the toilet as I’m writing this-I actually want a refund

Good street tacos – the pastor and suadero are probably the best. Service was great and fast for a weekday lunch. Menu is only in Spanish so be prepared for that. Google translate app helps.
