    What a gem! Randomly stopped by on my way to Catskills, and our group was blown away by their tacos. The salsa is fresh, the tortillas have the right texture, and the carnita? Don't even get me started. It's a family run business, and you can see the whole family make your food as you order. If you get a chance to drive nearby, I highly recommend stopping by this restaurant!

    If you want an authentic Mexican taco with different ingredients, this is the place to go. We had tongue, ear and intestine tacos. Some of you may think is gross, but it was delicious. They also have the regular stuff. A bit more pricey than expected but still a good value. The 3 tacos were plenty , had lots of meat. Not sure about the neighborhood, but for lunch is just fine

    We stopped in on a recommendation from a Latin co-worker. He said that the food was cooked with love like his family made in his hometown. Truth be told, I haven't traveled to Latin America , however I have had my fair share of Latin American food. The food is cooked with love and care. Fresh ingredients and prepared in a timely manner.

    This place is the best. Real tacos. As good as LA. A good serving of meat in the tacos. Home made tortillas. Real refried beans. A little expensive (tacos would be a dollar cheaper in LA, it was 8 bucks for a side of beans and rice), but honestly, it will be difficult to find a better taco in the Hudson Valley. Staff was kind and attentive. Only a couple tables, so think about take out. We could only find street parking and that was limited. I didn't see any beer on the menu but could be wrong. And still worth it.

    fresh tacos with handmade fresh tortillas - some of the best tacos i’ve gotten in the northeast : ) though keep in mind the chorizo is fried so it’s more crunchy than soft
