    Found this lil hole in the wall tucked in the back of a small shopping area off the freeway. They were closing so I got some takeout. They had the al pastor in front but I was craving carnitas so next time I'll have to get the street tacos. The carnitas was awesome as well as the rice and beans. The sausage breakfast burrito was another hit and they use real potatoes (not a fan of French fries in my burritos). The salsas were hot and flavorful, a big winner for me. Staff was friendly and the place looks like your old skool taco shop, which I like. Check them out, these folks know what they're doing here. Thumbs up!!

    What a shady place, I was ripped off big time . Be cautious if you decide to eat here. Microwave food , pricey soup that takes forever to make that has only broth an bones. Bunch of drunks that hangout outside cause of the bar next door. People are lairs just trying to take your money.

    Our second night eating in hotel on vacay, and ordered Mexican. This close to that borderline the food can only be great right!
     I was WRONG! IT WAS SUPER FANTASTIC!!!!!
    (2) Huge Carnitas Burritos (4) Lengua Tacos (1) Wet Pollo Burrito (1) Carne Asada Burrito (1) Chicken Quesadilla (1) Carnitas Nachos and whewwwww
      Food was HUGE PORTIONS, and absolutely outstanding point for taste and preparation!
      Hats off to GrubStub for transporting timely and getting the food to us while still HOT!
      Speaking of HOT! The homemade chile' ( hot sauce) was kickin'
      I'd like of added the other photos, but didn't want to publicize my family
     Definitely a recommendation if your in the area, I'm sure their sit in restaurant would be just as or better fresh off da line....
    Aloha! Happy Eatz

    This review is for the weekend street tacos only.  I have never been there during other business hours.  

    The tacos are fantastic, especially for two dollars.  It's a great late night snack if you're in the downtown Carlsbad area.  Try their green salsa...its hotter than you'd expect, but delicious!.

    Atmosphere/Ambiance - As you step into the restaurant, what is the feeling you get?
    * It is a very tiny taco shop. The tables may rock back and forth and the seats are not as comfy as is like them to be. There are only a handful of seating options.

    Cleanliness - Does the restaurant appear clean?
    * The tables are wiped down before the next customers are seated.

    Service - Were the servers pleasant, communicative, efficient, knowledgeable?
    * The lady at the front met my expectations.

    Food - Of course, this may arguably be the most important part of eating out.
    * How does it look?
    - It looks great with wonderful presentation. You get free chips and salsa.

    * How does it taste?
    - It tasted above average, but my expectations were higher than the outcome. Chips and salsa were below average.

    * And how much does it cost?
    - It was not cheap, but not expensive. Fair prices.
