The BEST hard tacos in the Bay Area. OMG, I almost can’t order anything else. The shell is always so good and homemade. The fillings are flavorful. Mmmmm! My photos don’t do them justice.

This place has delicious food and quick counter service. The drink dispenser has flat and sparkling water. Definitely our go-to place for Mexican food while in Rockridge.

Mi nieto loves the refried beans and rice every time I visit. He insists we go here almost every time I visit. Great!

Tasty crispy tacos, slightly pricey for just two, but then again it is the bay. I had questions all of which were answered with patience and the woman helping me even offered extra helpful information that I didn’t ask for (but totally appreciated)! Great spot right next to the Rockridge BART!

The steak tacos are so good here. Crunchy and filled with a lot of romaine lettuce. Just nd to eat it carefully because your food will begin to fall out from the other end of the other side of the taco. I've noticed the prices have risen, but it is still very reasonable. There is usually a line to order your food. After ordering, go toward the pick up area to get complimentary salsa and water and utensils. The place is constantly being bussed by a designated person. Lots of families eat here. I would definitely go here in the future.

I go here a little too often. Very reasonably priced, lots of vegetarian options, their crispy tacos and enchiladas as particularly good. And the service is very friendly and cheerful.

The flavors of my birria were so well-defined! The salsas were delightful. I waddled out absolutely content.
