What customers say?

“ I have been here a couple times and its always so on point. Not sure what they marinate their carrots in but they taste so bomb! ”

- Heather Ortiz -

“ Was recommended by a friend to get tacos from here, and I'm happy I listened. Ordered carne asada, chile verde, and al pastor tacos and all of them were delicious. Also got some watermelon agua fresca and it was equally delicious. How to order anything else off the menu, but I highly recommend getting the tacos here. ”

- M Guzman -

“ I love coming here on Tuesday for the 1.50 tacos not only cause they are cheap but I also love how the taste this is my second favorite place to eat tacos I do agree with some of the negative reviews they really do give you such a thin plate on a order of 6 tacos and the plate gets soggy and feels like it’s goin to rip if you don’t hold it rigth. They should really invest in there plates other than that the food and service is always great ”

- Yuridia Guzman -

“ New drive thru taqueria in East San Jose. I ordered a super burrito de asada and the quality and taste was good. I would say it’s a step up from Jaliscos, but I haven’t tried the tacos yet. If you’re looking for a quick bite for Mexican food on the East Side, this spot is convenient and good for tacos, burritos, quesadillas, etc. Check them out! ”
