Traveling through SB and took a chance at stopping here. What a great experience! Owner and staff very friendly and guided us through the menu. Food blew us away! We had five different tacos, tortillas were handmade. Great salsa bar. Plates are generous. Easy access from 101. Be ready for typical SB street parking Will be back again

Delicious tacos! Everything was wonderful and the staff were so considerate. We had a shellfish allergy in the group and they were super careful to make sure there was no contamination with shrimp, we really appreciated it. Definitely recommend!

Pretty standard Taco shop with highlights being homemade Tortillas, the Flan, and friendly service. The food was a standard Taco shop, simple tacos, with good meat but no special flavor. I appreciate more flavor with spices pr deeper marinades so I wasn't blown away. The Tortillas are the highlight of this shop as they are making them right there. The salsa bar was also pretty standard with no extra special items. Onions, Pico, Cilantro, and 3 levels of salsa. Service was friendly and prompt. Quick to help and answer questions when needed. Atmosphere was simple, nothing special, and parking here can be very difficult. Just street parking and that can be full because of surrounding businesses.

Best tacos we had in a long time! Seriously so good we ordered a second round. The handmade tortillas melt in your mouth. You know it’s good when you’re talking about bringing these tortillas home so your mom can try them ❤️ This spot is my new favorite taco joint in CA…just perfection. Good vibes, service, and salsa bar.

A taco standout on Milpas Street, and that’s saying a lot. Four tacos for $12? In this economy? Respect. Especially when they’re made with handmade corn tortillas that actually hold up and don’t fall apart mid-bite. My regular order includes the barbacoa, chicharrón, mushrooms, and rajas con queso. Solid across the board. The barbacoa con consomé deserves its own shoutout. Rich, comforting, and not overdone. The salsa bar is legit, ranging from mild to spicy with all the proper taco fixings. No sad toppings here. Drinks are on point too with rotating aguas frescas, Mexican bottled sodas, and yes, they’ve got chelas too. Service is fast, the setup is casual, and it’s the kind of place you can hit for a quick lunch or an easy dinner without overthinking it. Bonus points for being friendly to both meat lovers and vegetarians. The eastside neighborhood has no shortage of tacos, but this spot earns its place in the rotation. No gimmicks, no hype, just good tacos done right.
