⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — 3275362
The street tacos here are delicious! The best part is being able to buy a single taco and mix and match because most places only offer 3 tacos and they all have to be the same. We ordered carnitas, chicken, sexi mexi(buffalo chicken), fish and carne asada. They also offer Filipino Lumpia and habatchi which is amazing! I tried the Lumpia and it was great! I definitely recommend giving them a try!I'll definitely be back for more and to try everything else on the menu 🤤😋

Yes, good food, great staff. I'm so into what comes with the main dishes, the sides. It needs an upgrade. I can't tell what's the dip that goes with lumpia. Maybe suggestions of pickled red onion with the cucumber or the wonderful green papaya, even pickled jalapenos will be superb. Oh yeah, it needs a good simple dessert to wash the wonderful tasty dishes. Does the chips complimentary or only if you order taco? I'm glad we took time to drive and try it... before long drive home.

The best tacos, the most authentic ones I ever had so far in Connecticut. Highly recommend 👌
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Kent Brannon
Absolutely the best street tacos I know of in the area, all priced around three bucks each. Carne asada, carnitas con chorizo, pollo, frijoles negros con nopales, plus a few more. They also have hibachi, lumpia, and Lolo Asada frys (Thursdays only). They're normally open Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and do a food truck the rest of the week. Awesome place; easily my local favorite.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Joyce G
Can’t believe it took us so long to try this place. We got one of each taco and the carne asada fries. Everything was incredible. The lengua (beef tongue) tacos were both of our favorites. Can’t wait to try everything else on the menu. If you haven’t gone, what are you taking for? They have a habanero oil available that is super tasty and they really load up the tacos. The fries were a large portion, too. Great prices for a lot of amazing food. The staff was all smiles and the place was super clean.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — jenae ackerman
The employees all were so nice! Free chips and salsa while waiting if you buy 3 tacos. We ordered an assortment and enjoyed the flavors! Checked all 3 of our boxes- quick, light/healthy, and not expensive! Would definitely recommend this place & will be going back!!
