"After some weeks of traveling around Mexico, I didn’t expect to find the best tacos al pastor here — but they were absolutely delicious!
On top of that, the margaritas were great and the burrito was excellent too.
It’s a lovely open-air spot, simple and unpretentious, but with everything you need for a perfect dinner.
Service was also friendly and efficient — definitely worth a visit!"
