Omg. If you are craving tj style tacos this is the only place to go. They are authentic as can be. They use to only be found in Tijuana but have lately popped up all over San Diego (thankfully!).

By the time we sat down to eat, my tacos were no longer warm. Kinda took away from the experience & quality of the food. That would be my only complaint,...
