"Amazing food, I had the lengua tacos with the green salsa, they were delicious. The meat was nice and tender and the salsa was just the right heat for me. They had red too, it's pretty spicy while still having a ton of flavor! The tortillas are made fresh there to order, nice and fluffy corn tortillas make all the difference!"
