Tacos Villanueva is a true gem on E University Ave! 🌮 The SOFT CHICKEN STREET TACOS are a must-try, bursting with flavor, and the hot sauce is simply unbeatable! I love the casual vibe with picnic tables where you can enjoy your meal.

While the Carne Asada tacos didn’t impress, I've found their burritos to be the highlight. The chorizo burrito is massive and delicious - perfectly balanced with crispy tortillas.

Just a heads up, it's cash only, so be prepared. Overall, a fantastic spot that transports me back to SoCal every time! 🌟
