Lo que dicen los regulars.
The al pastor is dangerously close to my tías’ in CDMX. Trompo-real, spit-shaved-to-order pastor, with the pineapple actually charred. I’m here every Tuesday.
Tortillas. Hand-pressed. You can taste it. The carnitas burrito is a meal-and-a-half for $10.50 and the queso is studded with hatch chiles. East Austin’s best.
Catered our wedding rehearsal — 80 guests, two taqueros on a portable comal, six salsas, frozen margs on tap. People are still talking about it. Worth every dollar.
