“ Awesome taco shop. Authentic tacos... handmade tortillas. The carnitas are to die for... incredible flavor, juicy, delicious. You will crave these tacos and you'll be willing to travel for miles to get them. The tacos are so good the women at the counter can afford to be grumpy to guests! They are like, "hey if you don't like me go somewhere else cuz our tacos are that good! " ha ha! So funny. give em a smile and they might give you one back. ”
“ Always drove through this place, Decided to finally bite the bullet and stoped. I tried 4 tacos Pastor x2 Asada Carnitas The salsa was lightly spicy All 3 meats where juicy not dry and the salsa. Definitely better than some taco trucks around the area. ”
“ Best tacos al pastor. Makes it worth the drive from Madera to Merced. They have great churros rellenos, cajeta flavor is the best! ”
“ Food is absolutely delicious horchata is amazing ”
“ Yo, the reviews that are up in here talking smack need to be deleted. The sweetest lady helped my while the other sweet younger lady was cooking and preparing food.... the older of the two ladies made my tacos. I will return, there was no sense of hostility during my visit here. It does appear the facility needs renovation, but that's not the restaurant workers fault and it played no role on my decision to eat here. The tacos I ordered are beef with burnt ends. My first bite took me back to the days I'd vacation in Mexico. These are authentic and beautifully prepared. She gave my one Verde and one Rojo, all the toppings and they are absolutely delicious. ”
“ Small shop but delicious food. This was my first visit and I had three regular carne asada tacos. They have a condiment bar so you can put your own mixture of onions, cilantro, red salsa, and green salsa, as well as a few other selections. I look forward to going back to try other items from the menu. ”
“ every once in a while, you will find one of those places where the staff is super nice, and the food is incredible. This is one of those places. I ordered the Kearny Asada burrito, received it in less than 10 minutes, and have been hooked on this place ever since. It taste like the best taco truck you have ever had, but with a sit down restaurant feel. Without a doubt my favorite place in Merced! ”
“ I can't say enough good things about this place the food is fabulous and the service is so nice. My son suggested this place saying how much he enjoyed the food so we went and after tasting it for myself I agreed. They do not serve my favorite meat which is lengua so instead they introduced me to head which is just as tasty. Now it's all I eat when I order hear. Would I highly recommend this place? YES I WOULD!! The food along with the service is absolutely!! ”
