My wife and I got 6 different tacos and they were all delicious. The birria and el pastor were stand outs. The service was fast and the person who helped me was lovely. Highly recommend. Thank you for a lovely lunch.

Holy Huaraches!!! The steak huaraches was unreal delicious. One of best Mexican foods I’ve ever had. Good thing I don’t live nearby. I’d get it way too often! The chicken burrito was also fantastic! The most flavorful and delicious seasoning on chicken I’ve ever had in a burrito. And the side of beans alone was a delicacy - smooth texture and rich flavor.

Everything here is incredible! Literally the best tacos I’ve ever had. The birria is my favorite. But anything you order will be so good. They’re super fast too! And the prices aren’t bad at all! We go from work a lot and I’m always craving it.

This is the best tacos I've had since being in Birmingham in the last 3 months. The meats were well seasoned, they had flour tortillas (something that every other establishment didn't have) and their horchata was *chef's kiss*. Will definitely be back!!!

I was in town from Central Texas, craving something at least a tiny bit authentic and Mr.Taco exceeded my expectations! 2 birria tacos with tip, $10. Lots of raw onion and cilantro, nicely cooked brisket, knockout corn tortillas. Just enough queso fresco in the bottom of each tortilla. Red and green salsa were both tasty although gringo-friendly -- I should have asked for the Real Thing haha.
