Excellent tacos, great service, simple menu. Very very sketchy area. Prostitutes, homeless outside, people knocking on your window asking for money and food. One guy walked in front of my car with his pants down to his knees and his butt hanging out. Crazy area.

Asked the pretty girl at the counter to get me four street tacos of her choosing. Everything was stellar and the green sauce was off the chain. Great food.

One of my top 3 taco spots. So much flavor and the pumpkin seeds are also a great addition!

Tacos are so good here. For sure my place to come for tacos. I recommend the cacahuate sauce it will make your tacos taste even better .

Absolutely banger authentic tacos. Salsa isn't scared to bite back either. Great grilled onions. The tortilla has a slight crisp which is perfect paired with its juicy tender meat. I had lengua, barbacoa, and fajita. Tacos is all they serve! Side of onions and cilantro, some pumpkin seeds and salsa. Don't expect rice and beans, but come hungry anyway, these things are good

Love this place. Love the folks running it. Love the no frills approach. Have been coming here for lunch for the better part of 10 years at least once a week. Legitimately, best tacos I've had in the DFW hands down. And best hidden spot for sure. You'd never know what you've stumbled upon just passing by. Please go out and support this business. They most certainly deserve it!
