Y'all!?.. 3 words, Green Chicken Enchiladas! These were so good and authentic. We also tried their tacos which were also great. Would ask for queso fresco with them next time. So glad we decided to stop here! This place is BYOB.

Eat here! While it may look aged from the street there is a very good reason they have stayed in business decades. Amazing food and outstanding service. You'd think your abuela and her best friend are in the back making fresh tortillas. They are so delicious! All the food seems home cooked with love. I wish this place was near my house, but then I'd be so huge. If you like good people and good food this is the place to eat.

8th stop on our search for best breakfast tacos in SA. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere on a slow morning. I gotta say the beans are a throw back to my childhood and I really enjoyed them. Overall though, I gotta say these were some of the more run of the mill tacos we've had so far. Which is no knock on the quality of the food at all, it's just with the different places we've tried they are all good but some are just better. As always there's so much more on the menu to try and nothing has dissuaded me from coming back. 4.0 out of 5Price per personUSD 1–10Food: 4Service: 5Atmosphere: 5Group size3-4 peopleSeating typeIndoor dining area, Outdoor patio / terrace, Booth seatingParking spaceSomewhat difficult to find parkingParking optionsFree street parkingKid-friendlinessThe wait staff was very kind and interactive with my toddler.
