No wonder this place has great reviews. The staff are so nice and welcoming and the food is incredible. Small place on the main drag of Memphis, I believe this is their second location. We were walking by and saw a constant flow of people grabbing food here so we gave it a shot. The street tacos were great and loved the sauce that came with. Got the quesadilla to share and that is more than enough food for one or even two. You order at the counter can dine in or take out. Lots of mobile orders coming in too. They also have outdoor seating in the shade. The menu online said they have lengua but it is only available at the other location. Not to worry, Highly recommend this taco place.

We stopped in for lunch. Recommended by an AutoZone employee who heard us debating about where to grab a bite to eat (Thanks guy!!) The food is delicious!! Fast friendly service and a great atmosphere!! Great prices with perfect portions. One of the best Mexican restaurants that I have been to. Definitely on my list of favs!! CHECK THEM OUT!!

I had 3 tacos. They were good. The Birria with cheese was my favorite. The young lady that took my order was very pleasant. I also ordered the chips and guacamole. I will not order that again. I was surprised at the way they served it (see pic). I could have looked past it had it tasted better. The chips were not the best either. Yes, I would go there again.

Ended up stopping in here due to another place being closed and I am glad we did. Everything we got was fantastic. I loved the hot sauce. I ended up not liking the Tajín but would definitely get the corn again just without. Staff was nice and was welcomed when we walked it. Has an open kitchen and I love that you can see them cook.

Great atmosphere. This restaurant is situated in the main street and sitting by the window on the second floor gives nice views of the main street and the tram line with passing trams/ trolleys. The food was also good. It was tasty and the portion sizes were good. Service, IMO, was average.
