Right off the bat the Carne Asada burrito was perfect. I ordered no beans and no rice. It just hit the spot! Additionally, we ordered a super chicken burrito with everything. Very fresh and tasty. The food is mildly seasoned so if you like spicy you can compensate with the fresh salsa selections. Also, try the birria tacos. We tried these as well. Beef was delicious, fresh, tasty and seasoned well. Birria sauce adds a nice touch. Free tortilla chips are included with purchase. Staff is friendly and accommodating. I would recommend you give them a try!

Yelpers I disagree with the average rating of this place!! Upon deeper review you'll find most of the negative reviews are for things other than the food. That makes sense and I'll explain further below. First of all, if you're here you need to know you're in little Mexico. This area is like the Mission of SF. Tons of Mexican restaurants and a tight knit Latino community in this area. If you're a Mexican restaurant and you aren't good, you won't last year longer than a year in this part of town. I work close by and was told by a coworker who lives in the area that this restaurant got its start as a family business selling tacos from their home. They then expanded to a taco truck and finally into the restaurant store front here. They have a local following and are truly authentic. When you enter, there's old school Mexican love songs playing in the background, paper printed photos of dishes and a menu hand written on the side of the cash register. If you come by around 5PM you see all the locals coming by after work and you know you're in the right place. They know what's up. The cashier asked for my order in Spanish (even though I'm obviously Asian) and I pulled out my high school Espanol. She didn't once try and speak English to me even though it wasn't my native tongue. I found it funny but hey, just go with it. You wanted authentic right? No, they won't pick up your phone call. There's no online ordering. You come in, old school style to order. It is by no means fancy or with current times, but who cares? You come here for the FOOD. I ordered chicken and steak tacos and they blew my mind. Flavorful, delicious, perfection in every bite. I've eaten Mexican food everywhere, Los Angeles, the mission, and of course Mexico. I know good food and guys, this is it. If you're the type to complain that they didn't allow you to order over the phone, the ambiance wasn't to your liking or their hours weren't updated on their Yelp page.. then this place isn't for you. Come here for the food. Period.

I recommend this place to eat. I come here at least once a week with my sister. The manager Luis is very nice and respectful. All the ladies are so nice and make sure the food is on point. Service is great. The music is even better.

I used to work just a few minutes from here and would come 1-2x a week. Even my office staff and manager were obsessed I love that they add grilled onions to the tacos! Salsas are delicious too!

Been here twice now and all I can say is that their shrimp tacos are so friggin' addicting! I had read another review attesting to their delicious shrimp tacos, and they were totally right. Shrimp tacos are on point! This little taqueria is tucked away in the Foodmaxx shopping center on the Meadow Lane side. I first noticed them when I tried the laundromat next door a while back but didn't try them until recently. It's your typical Concord style taqueria. Nothing fancy but it's clean inside and there's actually quite a few places to sit. The first time that I came here, I ordered a carnitas and steak taco along with the shrimp. Both were good but neither one could compare to the shrimp ones. I've never really been one to order shrimp street tacos. I usually stick to steak, fish, or carnitas (chicken if they're crispy). But this place has totally changed the game for me. The shrimps are plump and well marinated, and they really pack them with a lot of meat here. I made the mistake of ordering 4 because I thought 3 wouldn't be enough. I was wrong. The second time around, I ordered three shrimp tacos and I left full and satisfied. I think the shrimp tacos will run you about $2.50 each. They give you complimentary chips and you can load up on their yummy salsas at the salsa bar. I usually go for the really spicy salsa here, but I realized that I couldn't handle it. That sh*t is HAWT! So hot that it made my bum hole burn in the toilet afterward! Bahahaha! I know, I know... TMI but don't say I didn't warn you. I guess I should also mention that I was eating those hot grilled peppers from the salsa bar with the salsa. I guess I was pretty much asking for it... Anyways, all of the salsas are lit! So much flavor and they have both good mild and hot options. The chips were good but a little on the salty side. Their horchata is homemade and also really tasty. I've walked out of there with a filling dinner that has costed me around $10!!! It's truly a steal. The cashiers are always really sweet. The only bad thing that has happened was when they charged my card an additional $25. I thought that maybe they accidentally charged another order to my card. When I went back and showed one of the cashiers the mysterious charge, she said that the other cashier accidentally placed an authorization hold on my card. Maybe she was pushing too many buttons and accidentally pressed the wrong one, but I thought it was kind of weird. They ended up fixing everything in the end, but make sure to get a receipt and double check your accounts of you're paying with your card. Other than that, this place is really tasty. I can't comment on anything else other than their tacos, but once I get over this shrimp taco addiction, I plan on trying some different items from their menu.
