opinions? i pass this cart every day driving my g/f to work
Oh wow! I’ll have to go check this place out.
You know, it was ‘ok’. I like “alternative meats” like goat and beef cheeks, and they brought ‘em. They were quite tasty. The tortillas were warm and fresh too.
The day I ate there however, I was starving, in low blood sugar mode, the rain was whipping up a frenzy and I just ate really fast.
I’d be more interested in what others think, so let us know.
And for $1.25 per taco, it’s hardly a risky proposition eating there.
I eat here once a week and I can’t say enough about their carnitas tortas. They are much more flavorful and twice the size of everybody elses torta. Another good choice is their pambazo which is a torta dipped in chile sauce and griddled.
Can’t beat it for the money. Really tasty, good traditional tacos. I eat at this place all the time.
The Barvacoa burritos, birria (goat) burritos, birria tacos too good to try anything else. We need to double-budget so we can get our favorites + try new stuff too. I love this place. Love.
