    Great tacos, tried the carnitas, carne asada and carne guisada tacos and all of them were 🔥. Homemade Tamarindo and Horchata were also good.

    Stopped in after a night iut and grabbed some tacos. We tried the barbacoa, bistek tacos and beef fajita quesadilla. The barbacoa was a bit greasy but the taste and texture were worth it. All of the food was so good. I see a sign that says East Best Tacos and I can see why. I would definitely come back!! The staff was also super sweet.
