Small restaurant with capacity of around 15. Fabulous food. I got the best chips and salsa ever as soon as I sat down. The salsa was warm. Had vegetarian tacos and gorditas, both were amazing. To be honest, the vegetarian options are limited, but whatever I had was great. Better to pay you bill with cash, they have a 2.50 surcharge for credit card payments. In short, I would go here again, if anything for the chips and salsa.

The service was phenomenal and the food was tasty (albeit a little on the salty side for my taste). Plenty of vegetarian options!

KACHETON tacos ftw! Crispy tripe and pastor mixed together with plenty of cilantro and onions all in a homemade tortilla to form a heavenly taco. Affordable. Super friendly service as well. Would def go back! @RefereEats

The tlacoyo and huitaloche quesadilla were both excellent. Other folks I was with really enjoyed the various tacos they got as well. The fresh masa really makes a difference. Note it is cash only.

Best Tacos! Hands down my favorite spot. The waitress brings out fresh chips and the spiciest salsa. I always order Tacos de Alambre and Tacos Campechanos, so good! It’s cash only but worth it. Friendly family owned restaurant.
