What's Good HereWhat's Good Here: These are the Carne Asada and Carnitas Tacos. Try the steak or pork tacos first, then the chicken.

Kristen B.Kristen Baxter: Carnitas burrito or tacos w/ all the fixin's is your best bet. Bowls tend to be bland despite having the same ingredients.For midtown, this is your best bet for anything close to Mexican/Cali-Mex food

CayaCaya: Just take a carnitas burrito. Just take it.

Nicolette R.Nicolette Romero: It's all about the carnitas. 👌

jenny r.jenny rock: Finally, authentic tacos! Carnitas tacos with Onions and Cilantro only. So good. And their green salsa on top is super delicious.

ZenFoodsterZenFoodster: Guac too runny for my taste, chips are out of a bag, & quesadillas are ok. But the Carnitas taco (w/ the Salsa verde) is this hole-in-the-wall's shining star! Not cheap for a to-go only kiosk.

Luciano D.Luciano Davidson: Amazing carnitas rice bowl. A bit expensive, though.

What's Good HereWhat's Good Here: Try a taco Bento box and add an extra taco. This is the Spicy Tuna, Sapporo Braised Shortrib and Chipotle Shrimp Tacos with Charred Corn Salad

Ashley R.Ashley Rose: The Rice Bowl was very good, but heavy on the rice. Maybe ask for extra chicken adobo? Peach tea is good as well, but on the sweeter side so beware.
