“ This is the first time eating at this little hole in the wall cozy taco shop. The establishment is very clean and the atmosphere is relaxing with great music. Wonderful, friendly and quick service. The Taco De Adobada tacos are amazing! I have lived in the San Diego area for 4 years and these are honestly the best tacos I have in the area. I will be going back soon. Unfortunately, I have to move out of the area in a month and won’t be able to eat here on a regular basis:( ”

“ Wow! I had the absolute best experience here! It was my first time. I was actually googling places to eat near me and this popped up. I seen it a few days ago when me and my boyfriend were gonna get tacos, but it was a little far out of our way. This time I was in the area so I decided to come stop by. I am so glad I did because everything was excellent! Mario served me today and the customer service was top notch! Not to mention the tacos so good! Absolutely delicious! This definitely met my expectations and exceeded them. I Highly recommend coming to here! ”
