"Not your run of the mill taqueria! This place has it going on for real! They have an nice sized menu, with lots of flavorful option for even the most picky eater. After the chef offered us a sample of tasty champurrado, we had to order a full-sized one. We followed it up with a couple of orders of the sampler plate of 5 different tacos. I had to go back for more: I got the plantains (amazing) and the yucca (incredible), and an additional shrimp taco (chef's kiss). I was not disappointed one bit... Can't wait to revisit this place, it's a real treat."
