Are you freaking kidding me!?!? This is the best thing since my taco truck when I moved from Brooklyn, but better! The portions are huge with pre-covid prices. How are they making money!? Everything was fire...Fire street tacos, Fire tostadas and probably the best guacamole you ever had...and they're open to 11pm
This place serves really good tacos. The best part? We ordered a few things and we all enjoyed our individual meals. The green salsa was my favorite and I really liked how cebollitas were and radishes were included with the order. Mine were carne asada and I’d definitely order them again! The worst part? The place wasn’t as clean as it could have been considering when we were there it was quite slow. The atmosphere was fine and it seemed like a place that many used for pick up orders too.
This is the best tacos in the area. Truly authentic. I can’t get enough of them. They recently moved next door to a new location. The third photo is at the new location which has a bar too.
Tasty tacos! I like that you can get one of each kind rather than have to commit to all three in a bundle. Salsas were yummy.
Outstanding Authentic Tacos at an unbeatable price. ($2/each for Steak, Spicy Beef, Chorizo & more...) I ordered a bunch thinking to save for the a second meal, but none made it to the next day. Love the extra cilantro, onion and lime included with the order.
True authentic tacos! Super yummy Birria tacos and consume! Even the house salsas have so much flavor. The greens salsa verde is the spicier one, the red salsa sauce has a lovely smokiness. I forgot to take a photo until I had eaten quite a bit, I got too excited
The food was delicious. I had the gorditas with cecina. And it felt very authentic. Like a piece of Mexico in NY. The cheese they use for the quesadilla and tortas is quesillo or Oaxaca. And it makes a huge difference in how delicious the food is.
Tried several tacos. Barbacoa (de Chivo; weekend only), Cabeza, and Lengua were great. Suadero and Chivo were good. Bistec, Carnitas, and Tripa were subpar. Overall, tasted and felt pretty legit.
