Overall, really good, cool vibes, generous amount of meat and super fast service! I got the brisket and the carne asada taquito plates to go. For me, the meat was lacking a little seasoning, but the salsas, cilantro, onions, and other veggies were fresh and tasty so that balanced it nicely. I’ll definitely be back to try the al pastor as well as the carne asada again in person because I’m sure the 10-min drive home when I take it to go makes a difference.

The mini tacos are Jalisco, Mexico style. You get the tacos with any meat choice available. I got the pastor (best I’ve had anywhere!) and the tripas (cooked so well with right amount of crisp and softness). It feels like you are in a food truck with the metal sheet walls, but there are tables to sit. The restrooms were designed beautifully and clean. This is a must try when in San Antonio!

Probably one of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Line can get long but the service here is excellent. They’re super fast and you won’t be kept waiting long. Food is excellent and super fresh. Everything is proportional from the meat to the toppings on the tortilla. I got 1 of every taco. Al pastor and the buche were my favorite. Salsas were great too. Horchata was excellent too. Perfect to calm the spice from the salsa. When you’re done with your first plate, someone may come by and ask if you want more. Can’t get better service than that. Prices are great too. And they have cool sweets when you go up to pay. A must try when in San Antonio

Got a trio of pastor, steak and barbacoa. Lots of street taco toppings and the red and Verde sauce were on point. Would recommend

No frills, just street tacos that are amazing. Pick the meat you want. Corn tortillas are soft and great as well.

Service is really good and fast!! You order your tacos at an open kitchen window were you can see a huge trompo of Al Pastor!! You have your tacos on the spot! I ordered carne asada and Al Pastor, they didn't have carnitas which was a bummer. They had a red salsa and a green timatillo salsa, the green was better, but both not hot, could of used a little hotter salsa, did like the limes and radish it's served with! Al pastor was great, sift, flavorful and juicy meat! Carne asada Steak was kind of bland, average steak taco but still ok. I would definitely go back, quick, good, good service and fast! Recommend the AL PASTOR!!!
