"Los tacos son exquisitos, los de carne asada y carnitas muy buenos, en su punto, jugosos y muy llenadores, te dan todos los complementos, cebolla asada, chile toreado, pico de gallo y salsas. Los frijoles a la charra también muy buenos. Ya tienen muchos años y el único contra que les veo es que no aceptan tarjeta, ya con tantos años y habiendo locales más pequeños que aceptan tarjeta, deberían actualizarse también. Fuera de eso la atención, comida y lugar de estacionamiento muy bien"

"Los tacos de carne asada muy ricos, además que las promociones son buenas (si mal no recuerdo 150 la orden de maiz y 170 la orden de harina,incluyen frijoles), los meseros son pocos y no se dan abasto (he ido a eso de las 12pm) tienes que esperar a que tomen tu orden, que si bien la llevan a tu mesa rápido casi se compensa con el tiempo de espera, si vas en grupo de personas grande (8-10personas) ten un poco de paciencia, tienen un letrero de que SOLO ACEPTAN EFECTIVO, pero no recuerdo si aplica solamente a los que ordenan para comer en el lugar."

"La orden de carne asada está rica, me gusta que la cebolla asada la dan completa. El lugar para comer ahi se siente un poco caliente. Con $350 pueden comer 3 personas, pidiendo medio kg de carne o carnitas y refresco. Atienden rapido."

"If you want the taste of charcoal/wood grilled thin steak "carne asada" and some pretty decent oil/lard fried pork "carnitas" I should definitely give this place a try."
