I had th Al Pastor taco. Let's just say that flavorful is an understatement! It was hot, fresh, and delicious! I will be back.
Came here because I saw a sign that said they sell tacos and I wasn't disappointed. Had some fajita tacos and they we're delicious, made right on the spot. So this is not only a good place to come buy some fresh made tortillas but a good taco spot too. Better than some of the more popular taco joints in Oak Cliff. I also bought some Mexican sweet bread and i was so glad I did. Enjoyed it once I was home. The only down side is they stop selling tacos at 3 pm. So this isn't good for anyone wanting a late night snack.
Fresh tortillas, salsas and carnitas. Also small selection of pastries and a fresh fruit bar. You can see the entire process played out in front of you so no cleanliness issues.
This place makes the best tortillas, carnitas, chicharrones. These folks are unapologetically true to their craft. Some folks who are used to be coddled and overindulged will not appreciate the work and effort these folks expend to make their products. Needless to say I highly recommend this establishment.
