    I don't know who Alex is but I'd love to give him a hug. Upon arrival to California, I was HANKERING for some cheap, delicious, and authentic tacos. These hit the spot and other spots I didn't know existed. Tacos were generously filled and paired nicely with the salsas from the salsa bar. My favorite was the creamy avocado one, coulda just drank that like nectar. The vibes were on point with music, neon lights, and glass soda bottles. Bless the poor cashier that had to negotiate my degrading high school Spanish. Evidently I wasn't doing too well as she just started speaking English to me. "Un al pastor por favor."

    My go to Mexican spot. There is no fat on their carne asada. I usually opt not to get the beans in their tacos. They don't always have all the meat choices advertised on their overhead menu board but they always have a good selection of meats. This place is tiny and parking is very limited. Their salsa bar is also pretty good. Their burritos are very big and yummy.
