This is one of my favorite place to eat in the Heights. Their tacos are some of the best I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. When you dine in you can expect free chips and salsa! The meat is tender and flavorful. Always consistent every time I have the chance to go. Street parking only. Best chance to find a spot is probably off Central at least during the day.

Really good prices for delicious food and nice service! I had the flautas (crispy tacos) and was worried that they would be soggy down the salad but they were actually really crunchy and filled well.

One of my best place to eat Mexican food. Must try there tacos and Nachos. The place needs a bit of revamp in terms of decor but the food is top not h Homestyle Mexican cooking. Also the Enchiladas with Mole sauce is one of the dish I always order. The portions are huge for the price! So order accordingly gaucamole is fresh made.

Great atmosphere dine in. Burrito was a amazing and worth the price of 12. Free chips and salsa was good too! Clean restrooms. Green salsa was amazing with the burrito! Parking may be hard to find. I was lucky and found a parking next to the restaurant for free as it was Saturday after 6PM (before 6PM, it is metered parking).
