Zayed Khan: Great tacos all around, but the real winner is the quesadilla especial (w/ carne asada)!
Noah Weiss: Unreal tacos, by far the best in the city. Carne asana was great, but pork (abobado) was even better. Fresh tortillas pressed right before you eat them.
Elizabeth Burstein: Really good chicken and steak tacos, horchata, and chips and guacamole

Juliana Elena: Delicious tacos, especially the short rib and Carne asada tacos!
Cindy T: If you order anything but tacos here, you're a fool. BEST TACOS EVER!! The short ribs and steak tacos are my faves. Be sure to request (free) double tortilla; otherwise, they can be sloppy to eat.
Rob Atkinson: Cute hole in the wall with good tacos and burritos. Get double tortillas on the tacos, they're sloppy (in a good way)
