★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jamie Knutsen · Jan 2026

We ordered something new to us called birria plato Well, we did not understand it and should have ordered the more familiar tacos. The did not have pictures of it like others in their menu. I am not saying the food is bad. I might come for tacos. Great location here, and they are open up to midnight.

★★★★★ 5.0 Cochetrigo · Jan 2026

All I can say is I hat I’ve been eating Mexican food for decades and this place is amazing. The flavors are on point and the ingredients are fresh. Excellent prices and better than what you find at most high end restaurants.

★★★★★ 5.0 Drew Rasmus · Jan 2026

Some of the best tacos I’ve had! Maybe it’s because I’ve been out of country for 4 months but the carne asada tacos were incredible. Highly recommend for cheap, high quality tacos on Milpas

★★★★★ 5.0 Jesus Bark · Aug 2025

I went around 9 with my family and ordered 5 tacos and 2 burritos. The meat was excellent, flavorful and cooked perfectly. The wait time was also much better compared to other food trucks around Milpas, which made the experience even better. Overall, great food and great service.

★★★★★ 5.0 Pedro Carrera · Aug 2025

I ordered the al pastor nachos and a mango boing. The nachos were delicious, the meat tasty and full of flavor, beans, avocado, cotija chessa. If you get the nachos you won’t be disappointed. I ate at the location and they brought the food to me along with two types of delicious salsa, green and red -the red salsa was a bit more spicy but both really good.
