Tacos El Joven is my new go-to spot for amazing Mexican food! 🌮 The casual vibe at Merkato Market makes it perfect for a quick bite or a family dinner.

I tried the al pastor and barbacoa tacos, and wow, they were bursting with flavor. My daughter couldn't get enough of the green sauce - it’s a must-try!

We also sampled the fish taco, which was fresh and satisfying. 😊 Just a heads up, the rice isn't the best, so stick with the tacos. Overall, delicious food at unbeatable prices! Can’t wait to go back!
