The best quesabirria tacos I’ve ever had so far! The carnitas and chorizo tacos are so flavorful. We were in town and went two days in a row and plan to go again next time we are in town!

Saw the positive reviews on Google so came in to see what's up. Quesabirria was in order and it was very tasty! Also it was well priced! Service was friendly and food was ready quickly and hot upon arrival.

As we walked in we were greeted and they immediately took our order. The cashier went over their menu. We got the quesabirrias with consome and it was delicious. She recommended their pupusas so I got two and they were huge, very filling and flavorful. I highly recommend this local restaurant.

I’ve been all around California and in the country and have ate at many different restaurants. I have to say this is one of the top quality Mexican Taquerias out of the many I’ve ate at. Good portion meals especially the large carne Asada burrito . The meat was marinated perfectly and the burrito was well put together. The service here was good as well as the location clean pricing is fair for the portion of food. All I can say is come try for yourself if you’re in town.
