Went here to try there famous chorizo, had been hearing about it for months. It's made fresh, and let me tell you that it was what people say "bomb". It meet its standards, a whole new level of taste. I would recommend it 100%, also grabbed a couple of tacos on the way out, they were tasty as well. A bit pricey but well worth it. Will be going back for sure, it's a 45minute drive for me and my family whom introduced me to this place.

The carnitas revived my soul after a long stretch of driving. The Cabeza, Chorizo, and Asada were amazing. My parents came here 25 years ago and never forgot how good it was, and now my husband and I are for sure stopping by every chance we get.

Not the cleanest or best smelling place, but the food is amazing and the meat sold there is good and hasn't gotten me sick so far. Lol I highly recommend the tripas tacos or carnitas burrito. Oh, and the chorizo there is the best I've ever had.
