Really good and flavorful food. I love small shops like this. I had two tacos with chips and salsa. Salsa was really good with just the right amount of heat. Note, I do like really spicy food as long as it also has good flavor. The salsa had both. Tacos were simple with meat, cilantro, and onions. Flavor was excellent.

My favorite taco place by far, they have the best red sauce. Tastes like actual hot sauce not sweet like other “hot” sauces. The tortilla they used for their tacos is also better tasting overall great food spot!

I got the soft shell steak tacos here with marinated steak. There were big tasty chunks of steak and, of course, all the fixings and tasty sauces. I'm from Florida, where I usually go to the taco trucks for authentic "Mexican food." This place was right up there with them. Very good!
