As an explorer, here's my spin... If tacos are your thing, this place is great and inexpensive. Fresh on the grill, if you want beverages, they will run next door and buy your drink of choice.

Son unos tacos normales, los recordaba bastante buenos hace algunos años pero genuinamente son unos tacos mediocres actualmente, no son malos ni caros la verdad te salvan de un apuro, su clásico es de carne asada aunque es carente de carne y sin mucho sabor, sus tacos de tripa y molleja la verdad están bien nada que sorprenda, pero para la necesidad están bien su guarniciones están x pero cumplen teniendo cebollas, nopal, frijoles y variedad de salsas.

Great tacos. A local told me about this spot. Great place to stop before the airport. You are in and out in less than twenty minutes. To start, stand on line at the front and order your tacos. You’ll be handed those tacos in a minute. Add your sauce and then pick a table. The asada and Al Pastor were great. Legit tortillas, too. The green sauce was mild. Get the red! The staff in charge of the tables was super nice. The chef serving the tacos was professional but you better know what you want. Just get two at a time. This way you can cover the second taco with a napkin while eating the first. That’s a trick to keep flies from landing on your food. You can always go back for more tacos. It’s hard to imagine more than two minutes passing each time you order. More like 30 seconds. Pay the cashier on your way out when you leave. You better have pesos. I don’t think they’re taking American Express!
