1. The hours are NOT for the restaurant, but for the food-truck. The restaurant was closed when we went by at 3 pm on a Thursday. They seem to intentionally misrepresent this and don't post the restaurant hours on line. Why let people inside when you can charge the same amount and provide no service? 2. The window where you order has papers on the upper part of it hiding whoever is taking your order, who is also to the side, so it is just a voice, and impatient even though no one else there. Very unfriendly. DO NOT tip these people as they do nothing but take your order. 3. The two tacos I ordered had almost zero taste to the meat or anything. They also were very small, maybe 4-inches wide - I wa shocked. Then just a lot of tasteless lettuce. They only have hard-shell and no optio

This is the taco stand outside but apparently connected to El Paragua restaurant. Ordering window is a little awkward. But the food was great! We ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito, albondigas, and several tamales and were very happy. One of the best breakfast burritos I’ve had in a while. Red salsa is great.

Nothing fancy, but the best taqueria in Northern NM! The Northern NM style tacos are incredible! Super tender meat and very flavorful potatoes are exactly what we grew up with in Northern NM, but so hard to find these days. True old school inexpensive New Mexican food

Born and raised in Espanola, now live out of state. This place used to be a regular stop. When visiting it was the first place to stop. That is until this last experience. I could not believe the prices. If you want just beans alone $12. If you want a double meat chili cheese burger about $16. We ordered the typical for 3 people...tacos, burritos, posole. The price was high, but 3 things that were worse than the price (1) it took 30 minutes to get our order, (2) so stingy with the red hot sauce, we got 1 with the entire order and if you want more it's $2 for the rinky dink 2 oz, (3) bad attitude and bad service. If you go to almost any taco burrito place salsa is free and some have open salsa bars with 4-5 different salsas, grilled onions, jalapenos, radishes, the works. Sorry to say I wil
