“ I love that there tacos use hand pressed tortilla and not the plastic kind but I also got there tortas were so good the Agua frescos were so good and the waiter was also really nice. ”
“ Moved nearby and finally made it in to check them out - we ordered take away as a afternoon snack for two people. I was thinking $3 for adding a 4th taco to the taco plate seemed a little steep. That is until I got the third taco in it's own box. I ate the taco and made a quesadillas with the rest of the meat! And, so tasty. My rice was *not* dried out which is often my complaint with other establishments and my beans were pretty decent. I'm allergic to sulfur (with a decent tolerance level) - so fresh onions are out. But, having the salsa bar with the cilantro and onions as add at your own volume was great for me as I love too much cilantro and lime with a good medium heat salsa. ”
