As a native born Texan, I understand the value of a proper tamale. I tried the banana-leaf chicken tamale, and my friend got the basic pork tamale. His regular pork one was the best I've had in yrs.

the tacos are perfect. meat is seasoned well - you don't really need the salsa, but it's a nice touch. the highlight of this place though is their bacon wrapped hot dogs! WAY better than street meat!

When open they are awesome!BPT. The chix mole tamale is incred. The green chix enchilada all very very fresh food. The little tacos in corner burn just right but if it burns I want a beer. Por Favor

They have soy meat which was pretty good. I also saw tofu on the menu. I'm coming back to give that a try.

No frills late night tacos. Get the pastor. No tax if you pay cash.

Most evenings they have a taco stand outside. Get four tacos, go inside and ask for the special sauce. The owner makes his own salsas and sauces...sooo good!

This is authentic Oaxaca food. Authentic Oaxaca cheese. It's a miracle.
