A Mexican fonda serving Carnitas, al pastor pescado Tacos alongside tortas milanesa, the kitchen's core repertoire.
Owner Luis runs a stripped-down counter operation focused on the straightforward Taco formats and sandwiches of a working fonda, not upscaled interpretations. Housemade Agua fresca and coffee round out a menu built for speed and consistency rather than novelty. The Carnitas and al pastor are the signatures here, slow-cooked pork prepared to order and dressed simply, the backbone of any fonda worth the trip.
