👍 My favorite spot to get birria tacos! Friendly place and great service. Use to be a food truck, now a restaurant! The place is very clean and the ambiance feels very authentic. Food was also great, and don’t forget about the drinks! We had the following: Chip and salsa - freshly made to order,... People often mention tacos, delicious,

    My favorite spot to get birria tacos! Friendly place and great service. Use to be a food truck, now a restaurant! The place is very clean and the ambiance feels very authentic. Food was also great, and don’t forget about the drinks! We had the following: Chip and salsa - freshly made to order, very delicious and flavorful! Best around! Tlacoyo - bean and cheese filled, delicious app to get you started towards your meal Tacos are great here, my favorites are their al pastor and campechano, you won’t regret it! Mexicana Plus Torta - super huge torta, fully loaded with a whole bunch of good meat and cheese and avocado, this portion can literally feed a whole family, but you don’t want to, you’ll want to eat it all by yourself since it’s so good There’s also a kids menu for the little ones, like a simple quesadilla for them to enjoy. Michelada - rimmed in chamoy, spices, Clamato, and choice of beer - probably one of the best michelada I had around Lafayette, definitely good and refreshing Coconut margarita - coconut and delicious, a little strong, may get you tipsy! Check @eatinglafayette on Instagram and Facebook for more Lafayette food things! Definitely a spot to check out! Great place!

    The Best Authentic Mexican I have had in a long time. The food truck has been a game changer as well in Milton at the roundabout. Absolutely phenomenal!!!!!!!!

    Good street tacos - the pastor and suadero are probably the best. Service was great and fast for a weekday lunch. Menu is only in Spanish so be prepared for that. Google translate app helps.

    This is the best Mexican spot in lousianna. The waitresses are so nice. The food is amazing. Their shrimp tacos are ahhhmazikg and make sure to ask to add some cheese. They also serve some nice strong spicy margarita They even have delicious breakfast tacos Their guacamole is fresh and add at the time you order. Their corn tortillas are home made and absolutely delicious. I am obsessed with this hole in the wall restaraunt

    What the what? 5 stars - worst Mexican food I have ever had - so bad I wanted to stick my finger down my throat and vomit, I ended up stopping at the truck on university to get the taste out of my mouth. Pulled pork tacos were at least a week old / hope I don’t wake up in middle of the night with food poisoning- we are all about supporting local and supporting small restaurants, I guess we will stick to our favorites. Margarita was just the mix- flushing 50$ down the toilet as I’m writing this-I actually want a refund

    Handmade tortillas and one of the best meat selections for tacos that I have ever had. Homemade with love. Delicious!
