Yo no conocía este lugar pero luego de todo un día de jugar en el gotcha , mis amigos me llevaron a cenar aquí y de verdad que estaban super buenos los tacos . Lo que los hace especiales es la salsa roja que lleva embarrada la tortilla antes de que coloquen la carne. La verdad yo si vuelvo a comer aquí ya que también nos atendieron con rapidez. Además están llenadores con tu jugo de Boing o con una buena Coca-Cola.
