This was my third visit, and I keep coming back for a reason. While the barbacoa itself wasn’t the most flavorful cut of meat I’ve had, the overall balance of the burrito was spot on. The seasoning, the fillings, and the way everything came together made for a really satisfying meal. It’s clear they know how to build a great burrito. Definitely worth revisiting!

Drive thru authentic food?! Yes please! I saw this place on Yelp previously and decided to try them out since I was in the area and was a little short on time. It's a small building with inside seating and because of the cold weather they do have tarp up. You drive to the side of the building where the menu is located. Unfortunately there aren't many vegetarian options. I settled on the burrito especial with no meat which was $6.21. I drove to the window got my food within a couple minutes. Once I got home I ate my burrito and it was pretty good. They also gave me a green salsa which was slightly spicy. I will definitely be coming back to try some of their other options.

Very good, authentic tacos. The tortillas or soft shells are amazing! I give those a 5+, the steak on the carne asada taco was good but nothing to rave about. The food came out super fast and the staff were nice. It looks run down but don't let it deture you. I'd rate it 4.5 if I could.

Its sort of a hidden gem, but those that live nearby are in there regularly. They're definitely some of the best & most affordable tacos in the Chamblee area. I got two tacos this visit, barbacoa & chorizo. The chorizo taco was so flavorful. However, the barbacoa was lacking a bit, which was disappointing. Get some salsa on the side. Also try the mango juice or horchata. Service is quick, but they stay busy, so be patient.
