Joey J: Some of the best tacos I've ever had. Try the Pescado, Chorizo, Pollo Asado, Carne Asada, or Camarones. Get a Margarita too, obviously. Can't go wrong on Miss St.
Stuart Miller: Tacos, tacos, tacos! The adobo special is especially good, but be prepared to wait in line.
J T: Almost everything is good here. Don't miss the tacos, chips and guacamole and salsa, and the giant margaritas.

@mik3caprio: Get the Primo pastrami breakfast tacos!
Andrew C: Great breakfast tacos. Everything else looked delicious as well. Super friendly staff too. This place is the whole package.
Leo T: This place just makes me so happy. Breakfast tacos are a great deal, massive, and tasty. If you normally hate flour tortillas, go out on a limb and try them here. They're homemade, thick, and chewy.
