    I was doing my laundry next door and this made a nice breakfast while waiting. I had the potato, sausage, egg, cheese burrito. It was excellent, fresh, tasty, just needed more large sausage chunks.

    Service is fast and professional. The $7 price is fair but needed more sausage, it was large and filling though.

    The atmosphere location is avg. being in a nondescript corner shopping center with a bar and laundromat. Their seating area is small but clean.

    Recommended for delicious, quality Mexican fast food.

    A hidden little taqueria in Banker's Hill. Found it with a Wayze search when I was working in area. Nice view of downtown and the airport approach path. Locals coming and going with foot traffic to dive bar next door.
    Decor looks new.
    I ordered the chicken rolled tacos. Rather paltry serving (See photos). Most taco joints in Daygo give you a lot more, and crema as well. The actual tacos were decent. Nothing to write home about. The staff is endearing however, prompting one to seriously consider coming back, at least for the view and people watching.

    Randomly stopped here after a work function in the area.  Doing a quick search, their is not much of a selection of taco shops in the area.

    I ordered a fish taco combo.  Rice and beans were good.  Fish tacos average size but tasted very good. 

    Hot sauces are located in the refrigerator.  Just open the refrigerator and get it.  Different from most taco shops but a bit more sanitary then the open self serve salsa bar.

    Service is good.  Parking is decent.

    YAY for the california burrito, but only a small fan flag for the carne asada fries.

    The california burrito was amazing and so yummy, especially eating it after a night out drinking.

    The carne asada was yummy too, but so little cheese and meat. There definitely needed a better cheese to fries to meat ratio.

    None the less, great quality on both items, just lacking on the carne asada.

    Great food, bomb ass California burritos. Always tastes super fresh. Get the green sauce.
