Hands down five stars their chips and dip and salsa was amazing. I got the Asada burrito which was $14. It was well worth it. I also tried the beef tongue, Tacos.Called lengua , you can make as many salsa dips as you want . We got there around 1220 and waited about 45 minutes and it was lunch time. Better to do a phone order ahead of time as it gets super busy. Literally located right behind Whole Foods in Kakaako area. Definitely a hidden gem 💎 I hope they can get a brick and mortar spot soon 🔜 💫🏆

I used to love this place and came regularly. I try not to leave a bad review anywhere. I waited over 25 minutes for these tacos, and They were pitiful to say the least. I’d rather them charge me an extra .50 - 1$ to account for inflation than pay 2-2.50$ for two mini tortillas and less than a tablespoons worth of meat & onions. Worst of all, there was no flavor like before. I don’t need a bunch of spices but there was No taste of salt, no taste of fat. So disappointing. This place was amazing and always on point less than 6 months ago.

Great little taco spot. Can’t beat taco Tuesday with $2 tacos. Their tacos don’t come with all of the extra toppings now, ah you have to ask for it. It’s called “the works.” I asked for the works, but didn’t get it! Boo that’s my favorite part of these tacos! Next time I’ll check before I leave. Great housemate salsa selections. The hottest one is my fav.
