Came in from Vegas for a few days. Staying in the area. Wanted some good tacos they came up, I had chicken and my girl had both. She said the steak was better than the chicken but I enjoyed the chicken very much. Great service. Clean inside. Good environment. Will stop b4 I leave.

Came with my family and we had a great experience. We had a veggie burrito, asada burrito, pastor tacos, vampiro fries and tacos. Everything was delicious! My mom accidentally spilled her drink and it went all over the table. When we told the workers they happily came over to help clean it up and didn't make us feel guilty or embarrassed. They were literally so nice. We'll be back for the wonderful food and service!

Our church group, consisting of adults, youths and children, were very hungry after volunteering at a local non-profit organization. Upon arrival, the owner was very nice, accommodating and generous towards our large group, even giving us a discount. We ordered 60 street tacos, a couple of quesadillas, a couple vampiro tacos, two large vampiro fries and about 10 large drinks. Everyone in our party left the restaurant happy and our stomachs full .

My family (5 of us) and I found this place while we were in town for a basketball game. We walked in and were greeted with a very friendly welcome! The staff was super friendly and helpful. The tacos were fantastic, the vampiro (their specialty) is a must try but get two because it was delicious!!

If you've never tried a vampiro taco, this place does it justice. It's a small hole in the wall style restaurant with limited seating, but what they don't lack is portions, flavor, and heart. My eyes instantly glazed over after the first bite of the lengua vampiro taco - the glorious cheese pull, the crunch, the soft yet flavorful lengua hitting all at once was divine. It was so good that after that bite, me being the big back that I am, walked right back to the counter and to order another. The cashier and the staff laughed when they saw me come up again and gave me that taco on the house. This unassuming place in located between the 210 and the 5 will be on my list to visit every time I visit SoCal.

We were heading to Yosemite, and we wanted to have tacos on the way. We chose this place based on reviews, and we did not regret it. Vampiros tacos melt in your mouth, asada tacos are the best. And be sure to try a cucumber lemon drink. That's wow. The atmosphere and the staff are friendly.
