Have been here twice in a matter of weeks one for dine in and one for carry out, haven't had any issues at all. The food is great and you can't go wrong with anything you order. I had El Taco Perron and it never disappoints, the al pastor is my favorite. It is in the smaller side but the food is always done so quick the wait has never been long. Can't wait for their outside dining to open up and try it this year.
The drive was worth it for some big and authentic tacos!!! The horchata in a bag is also very yummy. We got the chips & salsa to start with. The salsas are all different spice levels. We ordered a few tacos: al pastor with pineapple, carne asada, shrimp & chicken. My favorite was carne asada with onion/cilantro. The tacos are huge, regular size corn tortillas. You can pick fresh made as well, for an up charge. The place is a quick little spot to stop by for a bite... not a full service restaurant. They do also sell alcohol. I would say, if you visit during the colder months be aware it is a little cold in there BUT the food is worth the try!
$6 margarita deals on Friday - can't beat that! Their food always comes out tasty It is a smaller dining area but it's always pretty easy for us to get a seat (this is our 2nd time here) Service is standard
I saw this place on Tik tok and drove over 45 mins to try these. Very solid tacos. First off I got the food very fast and the staff was extremely nice. There's plenty of street parking as well. I got the carne asada and Al pastor. The carne asada taco was good but their Al pastor was their best one. I got the taco dinner and I actually really liked their beans. Their rice was ok but mixed with the beans was delicious. It's cool they give their drinks in a bag like they do in some places in Latin America. It's a cute little restaurant with a nice patio. The tacos are good and if you're in the area I'd say deff come check them out, however, if you live pretty far I'd say there are other tacos just as good closer. It wouldn't be worth the drive but they're deff solid and tasty. Unless you come on Tuesdays for their $2.50 tacos which is a good deal since they aren't small tacos
Really good Tijuana style tacos (Last time we had them this good, we were in Las Vegas!) and friendly customer service. A little on the pricey side but it's nice to be able to support small businesses in my neighborhood! Would highly recommend.
Tacos estilo Tijuana My second time here I ordered a pastor taco and taco pastor with a can of coke free chips and salsa Tacos are really good service on point I saw they got pelon chelas I will try it next time
The ambiance when you walk in is pretty cool! I liked being able to see into the kitchen as the food is being made! The food was amazing!!! I will definitely be revisiting to try other menu items! My pink margarita was tasty as well! The service was quick and pleasant! If you're looking to try something new, this place is definitely it!!!
This is such a nice restaurant! The staff were all very friendly, the ambiance and decor were nice, and the food was really good. Tortilla chips came complementary with three salsas. I got the carne asada and al pastor tacos, and my friends tried the carnitas tacos, all of which were really good. The al pastor was my favorite, it came with fresh pineapple slices and the meat was super flavorful. We also got a side of cebollitas to share, which were very yummy of course. Everything was really good, I would go back if I'm in the area!
