Went to this place this evening and I’m so, so glad I did. Prices are totally reasonable, the tacos are fabulous and the gentleman working there are so friendly and accommodating. I ordered the lengua taco plate (to go, with rice and beans) and it is exactly what I wanted. If you’re looking for a good place for street tacos, this is it. Will definitely be back!!

I used to come here when it was Spiros Gyros. Was sad to see it go but stopped in and gave it a try. Look past the atmosphere because the food is pretty good. I ordered a torta and I never order tortas because they are easy to mess up imo. I was pleasantly impressed! I order an al pastor torta. Had a nice kick so I didn’t need to add salsa. Great flavor and wasn’t really greasy like some places serve Al pastor. The carnitas burrito was plain looking but also was very good with great flavor. If I’m in the area and craving some Mexican food I know of a good place to go.

Food sucks and really messy food. Bad cooks that don’t know how to put together a burrito. First bite and the burrito exploded inside the wrapper. Ruined my whole burrito. Never going back. And very overpriced. The burrito I ordered was 7 dollars on menu but came out to 14$. Your food was not that good.

Tacos were very good as I was surprised. They are the regular size tortillas not the tiny ones. Very good carne asada meat and very generous amount. The torta super good too and was loaded with meat. I must've been lucky as I've heard some not good things about this place. Just wish the salsa was hotter. Staff is friendly.

Who is rating 5 stars?!!! Seriously this does not taste like Mexican food And I'm Mexican! The food is very flavorless and let's not talk about the Chile relleno 🥹 that's not a poblano pepper and it should be specified that it's a tiny Anaheim pepper. The sauces for the food are just water down blended tomatoes. The sause on top of the chilles definitely out of a can. The only thing they got right was the curtido de chiles jalapeños and carrots. My kids didn't even like the quesadilla and the tacos as you can see in the picture and they always get the same thing at la fondita. I guess that's what happens when you want to give a new place a try 🥹 lesson learned. Just drive up to white center and get some good food at the taco trucks.
