👍👍 Arguably the BEST Al pastor tacos I’ve ever had. They’re very nicely seasoned with a hint of sweetness from the pineapple and some char which I think they finish off with a blowtorch. I’ve had a lot of different street tacos and Al pastor tacos being a native Texan myself but these here blew me aw... People often mention tacos, pastor,

    Arguably the BEST Al pastor tacos I’ve ever had. They’re very nicely seasoned with a hint of sweetness from the pineapple and some char which I think they finish off with a blowtorch. I’ve had a lot of different street tacos and Al pastor tacos being a native Texan myself but these here blew me away. I got the taco platter $10 for 4 tacos and order an asada, Al pastor, and one of each of the barbacoa. I think the asada was under seasoned and the barbacoas were a bit tough. All except the Al pastor were mid to my standards. Definitely get the al pastor. I ended up ordering another taco. ALSO they give you grilled onion and a grilled jalapeño with ur tacos and some radish. Can’t ask for better complimentary sides. Their horchata was also a banger. Service was splendid and they even gave samples of the meat to try before ordering. Would come back and only order a billion Al pastor tacos.

    One of those places that you dont want to miss. Really good food. We tried their tacos, and Quesadilla and it was amazing.

    Chicken quesadilla (light cheese, no cilantro) and 4 chicken tacos (light cheese, no cilantro). Received as ordered. I was the only customer at the time and entire visit was about 10 minutes. The shredded chicken, refried beans, and rice were spot on! Service was super friendly; she even smiled at my poor Spanish. No lettuce on tacos, but I've been told that's not how tacos are traditionally served. Delicious just the same! Heads up! The red salsa is angry and is likely receiving counseling; the verde salsa has an attitude (probably because the red salsa is getting more attention). You've been warned! Atmosphere 4/5 only because it was 37° and it seems the land owner might not allow a windscreen.

    The best. No questions. These people are loving and hard working individuals. They make the best tacos in town and the rice and beans are to die for. Much love

    The tacos el pastor remind me of the tacos I had in Mexico. So good!

    Ate here for the first time a couple days ago. I ordered the chicken street tacos and they were unequivocally the BEST tacos I've ever had. And at an amazing price of $9. I will be going there again and definitely regularly. Can't wait to try the rest of the very expansive menu!
