I've been coming for years. This is an authentic flavor favorite. They have been developing their corners for years. Recommend their burrito asada, filled with rice and cheese. Their tacos are delicious. They have a salsa bar for you to choose your fillings.

Food is SO good!! Their sopes are so amazing, honestly some of the best ever! Service is definitely very slow, even if there wasn’t any line or people before you. So make sure you either order ahead, or plan out quite a bit of time because food will take a while. Salsa and condiment selection is great, you get to choose at your own preference, so it’s great. Ordering can be a little weird haha, not the nicest, but eh food is worth it.

The food is delicious, and they have an amazing salsa bar. Handmade tortillas, and consistent. Their tongue tacos, tripas, asada, suadero, it's all good.

Excellent carne tacos. Would eat again. I would pass on the burrito bowl though, this is definitely a taco* place. Liked: Homemade tortillas, toppings bar, and a homemade vibe.

Handmade tortillas and many choices of meats, the ladies are always super nice when attending you too. If your looking for good tacos like LA, this is a good place to go in Salem.

Good tacos and open late on Friday and Saturday. After a night of shenanigans, tacos and burritos do hit the spot. Each tacos are $2.50. A little on the pricey side but the tortillas are handmade so it is quality. Salsa bar is stocked with several toppings for your buritto or taco. Only outdoor seating and it is limited. Parking lot is small too but you can always park next door.

These tacos are actually bomb! The elderly Mexican woman cooking here makes the tortillas right in front of you. The other ladies cook the meat and the onions (for flavor). While you wait, there are no restrooms just chairs and tables to sit on. But you won’t regret paying $3 a taco with or without condiments which are around the corner on the other side in the lobby. Parking is limited. Wait times can be a bit long. The woman try their best to quick. Worth trying out if looking for a new spot to eat.
