“Excellent food! I ate so many tacos that I wasn’t hungry for a day. Dine‑in dinner cost about $1–10 and the food, service and atmosphere were all five‑star. Seating is on an outdoor patio.”

“Cheeseburger tacos melted in my mouth and were very cheap. Seating is simple and outside. Parking is limited. We got take‑out for dinner.”

“Tacos were excellent and the cheeseburger taco tasted exactly like a cheeseburger. I’d like to try the chorizo next time. Only downside is you can’t mix and match taco orders.”

“High‑quality ingredients and meats. The al pastor and carne asada tacos were excellent with flavorful green salsa. Hidden in an alley with no signage – almost like a speakeasy – but worth searching out. Recommended dishes include the asada, fish and al pastor tacos.”

“Good tacos and Mexican food served out of a building in an alley. You have to park and walk. Took the order back to the office and everyone liked it. We’ll be back.”

“New favorite street tacos. The fish tacos were crispy and delicious; two tacos for $7 or three for $9 so I ordered three. Highly recommend their fish tacos.”

“The burrito was really good and also unique with corn and melted cheddar cheese. Not the same as a San Francisco burrito, but tasty. Salsa was very spicy. A bit pricey; we ordered 6 tacos, 2 burritos, rice and beans, and drinks totalling about $75.”

“Loved this taco spot. Carnitas, al pastor and carne asada tacos were tender and flavorful. Tortillas were fresh and salsa roja was spicy but tasty.”

“Located in a back alley behind a cocktail bar. Limited outdoor tables. Vegetarian tacos and sides were the best Mexican food I found in Reno. Everything was full of flavor and the salsa was great.”

“The couple who run this place are sweet. Fish tacos and cauliflower veggie tacos were delicious – some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Reno. Seating is inside a tent so don’t expect much ambiance, but the food is affordable and tasty.”

“I’m a taco snob and this is my absolute favorite place. The pastor is incredible and the fish taco is unlike anything I’ve ever had. It’s a simple, friendly family business. Be patient – it’s not fast food – and expect to pay a bit more, but it’s worth every penny.”

“Excellent fish tacos at a reasonable price. Seating is outdoors under a tent. Order three fish tacos instead of two because they are small.”

“Small hole‑in‑the‑wall spot that was busy at lunch. Outdoor tables were full but the service was nice and food was good. Will be back.”
