My go-to taco spot. It's delicious, fresh, filling, good prices, and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Best Tacos in Lawrence easily, and I've tried a bunch of spots. Everyone should try this place.

Pretty good and clean place. Food was delicious! what I truly noticed they where very clean and you can feel it when you eat the food. We ordered 2 orders of Taco de Birria and a service of Tacos de Chicharrón. Extremely good.

I saw this place on a local Boston foodies Instagram and realized it was less than a mile from home. The Tacos de Birria (3 to an order) were truly top shelf. The consomme had deep and bright flavor and paired perfectly with the Tacos. Add side orders. I went with rice, beans, and super fresh Pico de gallo. Portions are large allowing for a wonderful meal the next day (sides only, I housed the tacos). Seek this place out.

Best tacos my kids have ever had! I had an amazing burrito. Guacamole was fantastic. Everything was fresh.

These are the BEST birria tacos I’ve ever had! For just $16, you get 3 tacos that are out of this world. So fat and juicy. Lots of cheese and meat. Everyone there is super friendly, and the place is incredibly clean. Plus, these are the only birria tacos I’ve ever had that don’t send me—HA! Highly recommend!

Okay…. Let me start off by saying this is not just because I’m pregnant. I got the California steak burrito… I literally cried eating it. If I could score it I would give it 100/10. My sister got the barria tacos… she’s so picky and she said it’s the best Tacos she’s had and (we’re from California) my brother in law got the Doritos nachos 10/10 and the barria ramen 100/10. The corn was so good. Let me be clear. You have got to try this place. Also the burrito was 15$ and stuffed so full I was shocked haha
