Description




This pint-sized spot has room for only three standing spots inside and three outside. What it lacks in square footage it makes up for in flavor, serving made-to-order tacos and burritos that stand out even in a neighborhood known for high taco standards. The menu features pork carnitas braised in a rich liquid, homemade sauces, and sides of chips and guacamole. You can wash it down with house-made aguas frescas like pineapple juice. The staff is exceptionally welcoming, often offering samples of meats or juices to undecided customers, with menu options kept at very friendly prices.
