Second time coming here & they have been consistent with their flavors. They are friendly and their energy is really sweet. Its a chill lil spot with a few tables. You order pay and take a seat for your order to be brought out by the lady. Their success are yummy too. Delicious. Definitely give this place a try when in the area.

Came here on a Saturday night and was able to order super quickly. There are a couple parking spots on the side of the store but there is ample street parking. We accidentally ordered the wrong burrito, but the team was super friendly and they gave us an extra burrito without charge which they didnt have to do. They are so friendly and as other people have mentioned they really care about their customers.In addition to the super burritos we ordered, we got quesabirria tacos and carne asada nacho fries. Both were super good. The burritos were also full of flavor. Will definitely be back!

Had to give this place a try when I saw how positive the reviews were. The food was outstanding. Very authentic and flavorful.The service was also awesome. The owner came out from behind the counter to welcome us in as it was our first time. He talked us through his favorites on the menu and was so grateful we visited. We’re so glad we found this place and will be back for the food and service!

I cant believe there wasnt a line out the door at 1:00 because the food is this good. Eat here as often as you can before this place gets too popular!Lalos himself was working the grill and greeted me immediately when I walked in. My food came out quickly. I ordered carne asada, al pastor, and quesabirria tacos. Everything was so hot and fresh and expertly presented. Lalos obviously cares about the food he makes. He came over and asked me how everything was and chatted with me for a bit, which has never ever happened to me at a taqueria even though I speak Spanish. Dude gives a damn and it shows.The most important part of a taqueria to me is the salsa/hot sauce. If the salsa isnt spicy or theyre stingy with it, I dont care how juicy the asada is or how big the portions are--Im out. Luckily, they brought out three different huge bottles of homemade hot sauce with my order so I could have as much as I wanted. And the red sauce was hot thank God. No tomatillos or other filler. Heavy on the chiles. They had a La Victoria style orange sauce, but like the replicas I have tried to make at home, it has the look but missing something in the flavor. Luckily the red sauce was so good I didnt even bother with the others. Gimme the hot stuff.It was a little hot and stuffy in the restaurant because it was 1PM in August. The air conditioner and fan drowned out the music. Having said that, I brought a book and had no problem reading while I ate. There was another couple who looked like they were on a date and they seemed comfortable. I dont want to say this is a you should order your food to go atmosphere because it was so delicious fresh out of the kitchen. Im a fast eater so who cares.Ill be getting my tacos here from now on!

It is SO hard finding a chile relleno burrito in the Bay Area, let alone a good one. The chile relleno burrito here was amazing, and way better than the one at La Vic’s imo. We also ordered al pastor tacos which were GIGANTIC.Service was beyond amazing. The staff were so gracious and welcoming, thanking us repeatedly for eating at their restaurant. The chef personally came out to check in on us, thanking us for our patronage and apologizing for the food “not coming out fast enough” even though we didn’t mind at all. When I asked for water, the cashier said they only had bottled water and then proceeded to offer the water bottles for free. I refused and paid for them.The place also does their own orange sauce, like La Vic’s down the street. The one here is creamier and smokier. You can buy a bottle to take home for $8.The people who run this place are so kind, humble, and welcoming. They deserve all the success in the world. 10/10.

I enjoyed the super burrito here as it wasnt filled with majority rice like other places I been to. Price was fair as well and the food service was quick. Highly recommend this place.

The bright red building is hard to miss. I got the al pastor burrito and wanted it without beans. Lalo suggested adding grilled pineapple to it (for free too) and it was really great! He made sure everything was good, and also personally explained the different sauces he had which is something unique to this place.
