"I still dream about the garlic tostadas. Basically the greatest thing I’ve ever eaten in my life."

"Ok, this place is an absolute must. It's different from the many other taco places in CDMX, and it's worth a detour. They have an amazing snack - a crispy, charred tortilla with a garlic paste on top. It's very simple, but one of the most delicious dishes we had on our trip. Don't miss this."

"Good tacos! Only had the Bistec, good amount of meat and good salsas. Service is pretty fast, could be a bit more kind. You order over a sheet of paper you fill out, clear and easy. The atmosphere is normal for a street corner taco restaurant. I would go again, probably prefer the street stands around though."

"You can order to go or eat there. You are a given a sheet of paper to mark your choices for the table and the waiters will take it to the kitchen. You do get multiple of each item with 1 order. As others have said the tostadas de ajo or garlic tostados are a must for garlic lovers. They make a lovely appetizer to share, but vampires beware The bistec tacos were very generous with the meat. The volcán de carne (bistec) were super tasty!! I believe it is Oaxacan cheese mixed with the bistec. A very nice bite with the provided salas. The horchata was delicious and just as I remember growing up. The team working here are HUSTLING so great job to them. I would definitely grab food from here again."
