While staying in El Paso for 3 weeks I ate dinner here a total of maybe 6 times! I loved their Flautas (rolled tacos) and Al Pastor tacos!

The food was so delicious! This was my first time here and I was not disappointed. We can at around lunch time and there was plenty of seating. The staff was very kind and provided excellent service. The restaurant was very clean and the restrooms were also clean. Overall the food and service were amazing, I highly recommend the flautas and include a horchata!

This place is a fast inexpensive way to get street style tacos that are clean. I don't know if they cook in lard, but I have a cholecystectomy and I am able to eat here regularly. Portion sizes vary sometimes, but the salsa bar always compensates for the value proposition. They are very good at what they do and their menu is limited to just this specialty. If you want the compliment of a full Mexican food menu, do not come here. This is one of the best places to end up after a night of revelry.

Love this place. Home-made taste food. Mexican style or original. The salsas are the real deal. My wife makes three of these and they tasted very similar. The flautas are just like mom makes. I recomend this place.
