  I’ve tried barbacoa from so many places, but this one tops them all! The meat is incredibly lean, tender, and bursting with flavor in every bite. No grease, no shortcuts!!!!! just authentic, delicious barbacoa done right. This is my new go-to spot!

  Delicious to the very last bite. You can appreciate the time they take preparing it. Also serving menudo, tamales and sides like chicharrones, salsas, Pico and avacadoes. This is a complete one stop shop as you can also pick up your BigRed soda. Here's to wishing they were open 24/7 but definitely understanding why they aren't.

  I wanted a tamale sample for my 92 year old mom who wanted to taste them before we bought any, the guy really tried but there wasn't any besides the dozens. One cashier was especially nice and the gentleman who tried, she asked if I had been helped after the other cashier walked by me 3 times but they were super busy as always. GREAT barbacoa and fresh avocado! We LOVED it, close to home also.
