“ Definitely a hidden gem in the neighborhood. Just upset I was just driving through from NY down to FL because I would visit this place at least once a week. Cashier who took our order was super nice and the food was incredible. Only thing missing from the pastor was a little pineapple. Don’t get me wrong though, seasoning was on point and it was delicious. But the Lengua was probably the best one I’ve had in my entire life. The salsas were really good and if allowed, I would’ve paid for 2 quarts of green sauce to take home. The green salsa reminded me of a Peruvian and Colombian style of green salsa. Great flavor and perfect heat level. For sure if I’m in Myrtle Beach again, I’m coming every day. ”
“ Came to Myrtle Beach for Memorial Day Weekend, found this place on Apple Maps. They did not disappoint, prices is very reasonable and cheap. The steak, chicken, and fish tacos altogether with a side of rice is the best combo. A1. ”
“ Was looking for some cow tongue (don’t knock it till you try it) and this place didn’t miss! I ordered: 1 Al pastor (pork), 3 beef tongue, and 1 beef head. They were all delicious especially with their home made green and red sauces. I ended up getting 2 more al pastor. These are more like street tacos so the tortillas are smaller but doesn’t really change the fact of anything. My wife got the birria, and shrimp tacos and ended up ordering another shrimp and birria taco. Everything was delicious if you want some authentic tacos this is the spot! Very friendly staff and prompt service! ”
“ Some really dam good authentic tacos yes they are small but they are very good and flavorful. And on the plus side, the tacos are only 2 each. Staff was super nice and attentive will definitely come back here again ! My friend can also vouch for the fajitas are very good. ... ”
“ Visiting and decided to grab a bite here. Chicken tacos were so flavorful and fresh! But...you’re going to need about 6 of them to be full. They are micro street tacos. So pricey for the size ”
