The tacos were so freaking good and absolutely full of meat. The lady running the front was so nice and was so quick about getting is in. The store hours posted online aren't fully correct, the restaurant itself closed at 7 (not 8), but the lady reassured us at 630 that it was okay. I would 100% eat here again.
