Great all around MINUS the fact that they don’t have chicken for tacos :(

So crowded and busy, but the guards do a good job making sure everyone gets to the other place. Tacos are fine but you can find just as good or better pretty easily.

Best tacos in California. We always stop here and it is a bit chaotic, but totally worth it. The Al Pastor is where it’s at !!
