Food:
Having visited twice, I found the food here to be a mixed experience. On my first visit, I tried the street tacos - carne asada and al pastor - accompanied by a generous bag of chips. The chips were a highlight, fresh and crispy, complemented by two salsas: a mild salsa verde and a spicier salsa roja, both served in convenient squeeze bottles. The street tacos, priced at $3.50 each, felt somewhat pricey given their small size. The carne asada was decent, while the al pastor, though generously sauced, was overly salty.

My second visit was for the Baja-style fish tacos, which, at around $19-$20 for two, were notably expensive. The tacos came with guacamole, garlic aioli, and pico de gallo. Unfortunately, the pico de gallo and guacamole didn’t seem freshly made, impacting their quality. The fish itself was crispy and plentiful, but the overall experience didn’t justify the high price.

Service:
The service here is straightforward and efficient. You order at the counter, and the food is brought to your table. There’s nothing particularly special or noteworthy about the service, but it gets the job done.

Ambiance:
The ambiance is typical of a casual, hole-in-the-wall taqueria. There are some seats inside with paper towels on the tables and additional seating outside, which is convenient for those with pets. It’s not a place you’d go for a fancy dining experience, but it serves its purpose well for a quick, casual meal.

Overall:
Overall, this taqueria is just okay. It’s not a place I’d highly recommend, but it’s a decent option if you’re in the area and craving tacos. The prices are more reasonable compared to other nearby Mexican restaurants, though some items can still feel overpriced for the quality offered. If you’re willing to spend a bit more for a possibly better experience, you might consider other options, but for a quick taco fix without venturing too far, this spot might be your best bet.

this is the best mexican food on the island.

their burritos are well portioned and sized to make you only eat half.

the tacos are really delicious and you can just taste that seasoning when you take a bite.

While other places do have lengua, there’s something about this place that I keep coming back to. it’s so flavorful.

chips and salsa can be very expensive but at this rate i don’t care. their food is hella good and the only consistent place i ever go for mexican food.

Came here for a takeout on Friday night. I put in my order at the counter and waited at the outdoor tables right in front for 5 minutes. One of the staff came outside and brought out my order! The two Agua Fresca -- watermelon and cantaloupe -- were made with fresh melons. So refreshing and delicious. The Carnitas Plato was made with fresh ingredients. The beans were cooked perfectly and the marinated braised pork was tendered and meaty. The tortillas were warm. The food here tastes really good. I'm going to try other dishes on their huge menu in the future for sure.

Second time I came to pick up lunch. First time I came for lunch, I tried the Green Chile plate which was fantastic. Good amount of Pork and Potatoes in a really tasty Green Chile and Tomatillo sauce. Beans tasted fresh, and the rice was good. Today I tried the Chicken Flautas with Tomatillo Sauce and Refried beans. All fantastic and well done. Very traditional, not "white washed". One of the better places I have had Mexican food in the Bay Area. Absolutely worth a try!
