      Delicious street style tacos, pastor, bistec, chicken and more. Ala carte or plates plus cold drinks on ice and margaritas as well. Great guacamole too!!

      Nice, clean, friendly and fast. Dine in or take out probably most popular these days!

      This was the first time I had been here but I'll be back!!

      Thank you!

      A pretty good little place to get some street tacos. I ordered a Parrillada Tizon, which has an assortment of street tacos. And of course I had to get a Mexican Coke because they're the best. The meat on the tacos was cooked nicely, though it didn't have much flavor on it's own. The corn tortillas were solid though. The cheese enchilada is one of the best I have had! I would definitely enchiladas next time I come. It was flaky and absolutely delicious. The star of the show was the guacamole! I would say the guacamole here is a contender for the best ever! Definitely put it in all of your tacos when you visit, along with the caramelized onions. I finished up with a flan that was very satisfying. Lovely caramel drizzle and very solid flan.

      The service was fairly minimal, as they were busy. Environment is loud, but the interior is pretty nice. It's also pricey; dinner and dessert came out to $25. The service and the protein could use some improvement, but overall this is a place I would visit again if I have the cash.

      Me tocó la chansa de probar este lugar una vez cuando andábamos buscando que comer,
      La comida tiene un muy buen sabor, los tacos y las quesadillas siempre están en su punto, definitivamente vuelvo a volver otra vez!

      I consider myself regular customer from this location and Frankford. We been coming here for years and today After a long day of work, I wanted to enjoy dinner with my husband! Our experience was pretty sad this time When he first bit the torta! The CHICKEN WAS RAW!!!! Now we worried of him getting sick we been in the restaurant industry for years and this is not just unacceptable is putting my family's life in danger your customers, the persons who make your company success. We still love this place but don't know if we are coming back

      Food here is always delicious and definitely hits the spot! Absolutely love there black bean soup it's complimentary with your order. I got the parillada of tizoncito has a variety of there tacos with a cheese quesadilla.
      They do serve alcohol I enjoy there mango margaritas tajin on the rim man it's so tasty!

      They are practicing social distancing marking off certain tables but people waiting for tables are allowed to stand around while they wait. That's the only thing I really didn't care for but other than that come grub on some good food and drinks

      Brisket tacos were awful. Tasteless and mushy with soggy tortillas, no peppers or onions as described on the menu. Charged $2 for a side of pickled jalapeño. Already paying $12 for three small tacos with no sides- definitely overpriced for the quality and lack of flavor. The only redeeming thing was the frozen guavarita even though I ordered a small and was charged for a large. Too many other good places with far better food and value in the area. Super disappointing.
