Had vegetarian tacos and it was a lot of food with a ton of flavors! Smokey chipotle sauce was so so good. Vegetarian tacos come with rice, beans, pico de gallo, lettuce, avocado, and sour cream.
It is cash only but it has an ATM inside.

You NEED these tacos in your life, I’m extremely happy I came across this taqueria, it’s no frills, just a counter that you place/pickup your order and some of the best damn tacos I’ve had in the city. They do not skimp on the portions (there is a little too much fat in the carnitas sometimes but I’m just very sensitive to the mouthfeel however out of 5 friends that have all had them only one other said she noticed it but it didn’t bother her) the taste and quality of them put them right up in my top 5 tacos in phila. The carnitas are perfectly crispy on the outside and tender and flavorful inside. They even include a grilled jalapeño and spring onion and limes of course! Even their sauces are fresh and delicious. Oh and did I mention they are open late?! Place your order in advance as they get busy. You will not be disappointed. Btw save yourself a $1 and bring your own bag, which I think is funny that they sell a plastic bag to you while we have a plastic bag ban in effect ????

Ordered a beef tongue burrito, despite being short compared to what you would expect from places like Chipotle it was still a very generous portion with a nice blend of lettuce, rice, beans, cheese and obviously the tender tongue. Would recommend

I have no problem crossing the bridge early in the morning to avoid any crowds at my favorite taqueria in the area. While some people think ten a.m. is too early for tacos, I sit outside wondering why they won't open earlier. Also, don't sleep on the lengua, you'll thank me later.

Super delicious tacos! The ratio between the protein and tortilla is perfect. Good value!!
Their al-pastor tacos are pretty good. They put some pineapple chucks to add some sweetness to their taco.
The barbacoa tacos are flavorful and good balanced of meat and fats. And it is super juicy!!
Highly recommended!! The best part.. they open late!

I have been here twice. This last time I meet the owner, Jesus. Really good people and a clear example of how working hard can get you anywhere. Tacos, tamales and burritos taste good. Big portions. They have outdoor and indoors seating area.

It's a no frills taco place that has a lot of options for tacos, quesadillas, burritos, etc. The tacos come in a set of 3 with some grilled spring onions and a pepper. I tried the carne asada and it was alright. I think it was a bit dry and wish there was more fix-ins. The meat was alright, but not much flavor. They do come with a green and red sauce which helped a bit with the flavor. We also got a pineapple aguas frescas which was pretty good. I thought it was going to be a cup of it, but it turned out it came in a quart-sized container. It was raining when we ate it, but I can imagine it would be so refreshing to have on a hot, summer day. I'm curious to try what other flavors they have.

Loved eating here. Staff was friendly, food came out quickly. Food was piping hot and cooked to perfection. We got the beef burrito and tacos, and the chicken tacos. Lots of people coming and going. Great authentic place to eat. Don’t walk by.
