“ This legendary place is 35 years old. We had the pastor, the cheeks (cachete) and the asada. We had a few with cheese and most without. The egg custard thing for dessert was also epic. Super busy but the service is fast and the 40 employees here work like a finely oiled machine. I was so impressed. My girlfriend said best asada taco in the world. The pastor also world class. Great ambience cause it’s a good mix of people and i like the neighborhood. They have ample parking in front of the restaurant and with a lot across the street. Will be back. You must go here if you are in Guadalajara. We had like ten tacos and dessert and a coke and total was 399 pesos ($20 usd) and I’m super full. ”

“ Excellent taco place. You can order by the taco or half order ir full order. Food is prepared fresh. ”
“ Best tacos in the city! They’re really small though and not cheap, but worth it. Good ingredients, really clean and the staff is helpful. They never have peinecillo although is on the menu, and sometimes you have to wait in line to get in. This is not a restaurant to stay and have dinner conversations as is extremely noisy and not comfortable, much more on the get a table, eat your food, pay and leave side. ”
“ The tacos were good, it is a bit of caos in there. Some tacos come with chile, so I couldn't eat them. Server never mentioned they came with chile on them. Also server don't introduce themselves, so when it came to getting the check, we didn't know who to ask (caos). Yeah, if you are on a hurry this is not the place to come to. ”
