We’ve eaten here several times and the food is great every time. The al pastor and asada street tacos are delicious! Steven is super nice and polite. Really is a welcoming atmosphere. I wish we lived closer so we can eat there more often!
Great food Always fresh Good area to eat Extremely respectful staff Orders dont take long Pricing is very good, comparative to other similar local food.
We did a to go order. They are super friendly and got the order right. Delicious food. The sauce was very spicy(as it should be). Ordered on 2-28-25
Fantastic food. Chicken so tender it almost melts in your mouth. We've been waiting for the restaurant to open again. Watching the care they gave in updating the old restaurant we had high hopes. They did not disappoint. Bring a coat if you dine in, but settle in for a meal that is cooked full of flavor and authenticity. We'll be going again....SOON!
Tastes like authentic street tacos. Cokes in the glass bottles were good
Went here for lunch today; party of four and 1 baby. Small parking lot; some taken by those doing take out. One unisex bathroom, clean. Multiple tables, highchairs available. We all enjoyed our food. It was fresh made/cooked. Different hot sauces available.
Definitely the best tacos in Stanwood. Also, all of the staff are extremely kind and courteous. The have some excellent salsa too; my personal favorite is the avocado sauce. But really, everything they make is excellent; the tortillas, rice and the beans as well.
