What makes it distinct

Al Pastor

Chips and Guac

Reviewer notes 'very large pile of guacamole' and calls it 'outstanding' — suggests this is an order worth making beyond just tacos.

Counter Service

References to 'kind cashier' and ordering at counter suggest fast-casual format with personal service.

Salsa Bar

Multiple salsas with 'varying spice that were delicious' — self-service heat customization is part of the experience.

Taco Crawl Worthy

One group made this their third stop on a dedicated taco crawl and still wanted to try it — signal of reputation among those hunting quality.

The food here is outstanding and for a very good value. The chips and guac come with a very large pile of guacamole. They have many types of salsas with varying spice that were delicious. The meat varieties for the tacos was something I have rarely seen before, including common options like carne asada, and rare options like tripa, lingua. Overall everything our group 8 was delicious, the service was fast, and the price was right. I definitely want to come back.

We were on a taco crawl and this was our 3rd stop. We were hitting our limit but still wanted to try this spot. We were a little embarrassed ordering 1 taco for 2 people but the kind cashier didn't make us feel bad at all! 🥲 He was SO sweet and treated us as if we ordered 100 tacos. He encouraged us to visit the salsa bar and take our time to enjoy our taco. I can't wait to revisit soon!

I got the pollo and carnitas tacos (3 tacos for $18). They were very mid tacos. Overstuffed with guacamole, fairly bland, and very oily. My stomach hurt immediately after. I don’t know why this place is 4.6 stars… I’ve found better tacos in the middle of VA on a dirt road, literally. The staff were super friendly/nice/efficient, but the place was tight to walk in and slightly awkward/uncomfortable to wait for your food. Sorry not sorry, just being honest.

I don’t want any of yall to go here because it would make me wait longer. If not equivalent, might be better than tacos el gordo. I’ll say it. The value, price, flavor, and type of quality you receive is all there. I have gotten tacos, fries, combos, burritos, here. All amazing. I think the two meats you use to compare taco shops is carne asada and al pastor. (I also like to throw in a cabeza and they also deliver here). Carne asada have a good Smokey and fatty background to the meat. The al pastor is similar in carne asada execution but sweet. I stop by here before every padre game. Highly recommend.

This was a spiritual experience. I moved to the East coast several years ago and there just aren’t taco places like this there. These were the best tacos I’ve had in years! The Al Pastor and the asada were phenomenal.
