Gift Tips

  • Use a gift to try the barbacoa burrito — it’s praised for tender, pull-apart meat and a slightly seared exterior for added texture.
  • Order tacos with a variety of meats (al pastor, carne asada, carnitas) and sample several house-made salsas like pistachio and pineapple to find favorites.
  • Ask for the fresh flour tortilla when available — reviewers note it’s made daily and elevates burritos and tacos.
  • Try the hibiscus tea or a cold drink with a meal, especially when dining at the outdoor tables on a sunny day.
  • If you like crispy textures, request extra-crispy tripas or try the seared burrito edge; outdoor seating and quick turnover make it easy to grab a spot if you arrive a bit early.
  • Add the chips and guacamole for an easy side that pairs well with the main dishes.
  • If you enjoy lighter choices, the vegetarian tacos and chilaquiles are solid options to keep in mind.
  • Add chips and guacamole to get the full fresh, made-in-house experience.
