Favorite Taqueria in Santa Maria! I come here at least 3 times a week for dinner or lunch. You have GOT to try the homemade tortillas for whatever style of taco you like, they are way bigger than normal and they taste AMAZING. One of the easiest 5-stars ive given

I'll pay 3 for their tacos any time! Handmade tortillas (big tortillas too) & lots of meat.

Great Customer service the best menudo in town. Handmade tortillas . Authentic Mexican food at its finest. And the quesadillas here wow blow my taste buds . Definitely reccomend it .

GREAT Authentic Mexican food try the tacos with the homemade tortillas!

Best food in Santa Maria. I say that as a medic who's worked in this city for 10 years. Not fancy. Not expensive. Just delicious.

Love the food.... fresh made corn tortillas. Totally worth the money, cause the tacos are a bit more expensive than other places... but of course you're not gonna get fresh tortillas elsewhere... recommend the tacos and quesadillas... packed with meat. Worth it.
