With the choice of four meats available to choose from this taco shop concentrates on it's craft. Suadero, buche, adovada, bistek is what's available to choose from. The street style tacos small double tortilla is what they specialize on. Suadero is the most sought after meat at this establishment. Suadero is a thin cut of meat from the intermediate part of the cow or pork between the belly and the leg. Suadero is noted for having a smooth texture rather than a muscle grain. The establishment is managed well and the waiters are very attentive and bring your order within ten minutes since the cooks are prepping tortillas on the comal and meat is simmer before your eyes. A plate of onions and cilantro are brought out with your order to use as a topping for your tacos.

Son muy sabrosos los tacos y todo, pero se tardan mucho cuando es para llevar (se han tardado hasta 40 minutos), no se porque razón es más rápido si consumes directamente. Así que es recomendable si tienen tiempo.

Tacos ricos, variedad (buche, suadero, pastor, adobada y cuerito), y gringas, aguas de sabor. El sabor de cada taco es bueno, además de estar muy bien servido, el clásico taco de doble tortilla con el cual te puedes hacer dos Precios accesibles Atención regular Lo único que mejoraría son las salsas pero en si es una buena taquería clásica de barrio para esos antojos de noche, lo recomiendo
