“ Absolutely, one of the best carnitas I have ever had. I wanted to go back the next day just to buy some and take them home but we left too early! Oh yeah, they make their own freshly made corn tortillas!!!! They are working on their liquor license and should have it soon. Cant wait for them to start making Micheladas!!! ”
“ Great food and services at a reasonable prices. Staffs and owner are friendly and nice. The store is clean and well organized. My kids loved the dishes that’s why we ordered more for take out. ”
“ Came for dinner. Ordered steak fajitas, steak taco, chicken taco, chips and salsa. Customer service was great! Food was cold when served to us. The chips and salsa are bland. Salsa is super watery, chips needed salt. Would not buy this again. The fajitas are decent, as are the tacos. We really enjoyed the handmade corn tortillas. Nothing was greasy which was nice. Not my favorite place to eat but we are spoiled with really good Mexican food where we live. But this is a solid food choice. ”
“ Ate here it’s pricey but it’s good the fresh lemonade and the horchata home made was superb! 4 stars because it’s not the best but it’s lake Tahoes best. Also 15% gratuity’s charge added. Also I spent 70 bucks on 6 tacos that are street tacos size two big quesadillas and 1 sope 1 horchata and 1 lemonade. ”
“ We went to eat here at 8pm, closing at 9pm. Quick service and friendly staff, and plenty of seating. Parking is an issue, there is no parking lot. Nearby parking is within a hotel or reserved parking spaces for another hotel. You will need to park 2 blocks down the street or just walk from your hotel. We ordered the Sopa plate which had 2 sopas, rice, beans, and lettuce. Also ordered a regular chicken burrito. If you want lettuce or extras inside you need to ask beforehand to upgrade the burrito. Quality was decent, but the chicken was a little dry. The portions were of decent size and filling. If i knew we had to park a distance away and walk within the 25 degree weather at night I would've chose somewhere else. ”
