Forgot about this place and recently went back.
Glad did.
This may be my post-round spot.
Had the carnitas tacos.
The red salsa was super good. Looking at the picture just made hungry again.


Pulled a 10 hour work day “no food or water” to say I was hungry would be an understatement.
As I was driving on Camden Avenue I spotted a couple of fast food joints that I tend to frequent so I pulled in the shopping center driveway, when lo and behold I spotted this hole in the wall place.
As I walked in I noticed that they have an extensive menu, so much so that pops and I had no idea what to order, I asked the cashier what’s good? “Everything” she replies.
I laughed and said I’ll take one of everything then “then she laughed” as we were deciding pops noticed a TV with revolving pictures of there food items “I’ll take that!, as he pointed to the screen” (Shrimp fajita plate, with shrimp, red peppers, onions, rice, beans, tortillas, green onions, guacamole and sour cream) and a coke please. I ordered a Carnitas quesadilla (thinking it would be small) I also ordered a Totra “boy was I wrong!” And a horchata to drink.
As pops and I waited for our food I went to there condiment bar.
The bar had all you can eat warm tortilla chips, freshly made pico de gallo “so delicious” 4 different sources for your chips and food, sliced roasted hot peppers fresh lime wedges, turnips and mix veggies. When we got our food I was blown away by how much food they give you and the quality of it, the presentation was also appealing to the eyes, oh and did I mention it tastes great also? My only complaint actually was the price point, $35 and some change seem a little high But overall the food and quality is good at this establishment.

Thank you Henry for your great detailed review, we are flattered of your comments, about the price believe me when I say you are right, unfortunately with the costs going up in pretty much everything that is the only way we can stay in business, the rent here is insane, I wish this don't stop you to come back and enjoy our delicious food, we try to keep our portions big.


This is your basic taqueria offering good food at a good price.
I always come here for Taco Tuesday.
Four street tacos and a drink for 10 bucks.
Can't beat it! And yes, the food is excellent.
