I just bought two pounds of barbacoa all meat.
I just love the way this taste.
It’s by far the best barbacoa I’ve ever had.
It’s perfect.
I recommend everyone try it.


The pork tamales were excellent didn't get to try the barbacoa, but I will next time good service


What's Real with this place ?? The lady, the OWNERS WIFE, according a guy who stated he is the owner and the person behind the counter is his wife. The sign says est.
Since 1969, however this is the only location. The Owners was very nice.
However is wife lacks Custer service skills and is INSUFFERABLY, RUDE, ARROGANT, POMPOUS, UNPROFESSIONAL and that's the short list.
