“ Delicious, fresh tacos (asada, pastor, birria, and tripa), fresh limes/radishes, wonderful salsas. Wish I lived closer! ”
“ Best carnitas tacos. It's either here or Carnitas Michoacán on Beacon. I can't bring myself to order anything else, even though I want to try it all. ”
“ Best tacos in town! My family and I go there at least twice a month and here is what we love. The steak tacos are a must. The carnitas tacos are my favorite because the pork has a little crisp. My youngest gets the rice and beans as she is under a year old. Finally, I get to enjoy the fried tilapia on special occasions. The fist takes about 25 mins to cook so if you order this, please be patient. Love the salsa bar with radishes and pickled carrots. Give this place a try! ”
“ Los Potrillos never disappoints - love everything we've had there , and their salsas and sauces are fresh and delish. Prices are very reasonable - just go in or call, rather than use Uber Eats or DoorDash to get best pricing. ”
“ I love the Pozole here! It comes with cabbage, lime, cilantro and spice. This huge amount of food hits the spot on a cold day. Service is great, plenty of seat and free street parking. Check them out ”
“ For all the reviews saying the food was too salty, you don't go to a street taco place expecting it to be low on sodium. Especially from reviewers who don't have any experience with food from other cultures. Sorry not sorry for anyone who leaves bad reviews on small mom and pop shops. But even with that being said... I believe the food was seasoned perfectly. *chefs kiss* We frequent the close by taco trucks often, but now this spot is definitely my new all time fave!!!! The carne asada is like ranchera style and the tripas was crispy to perfection! Not to mention the salsas were a good spice! DO NOT skip the Caldo De Res!!!! If I was Latina.. these flavors are definitely what I would expect from home cooked dishes. The chili powder that comes with this is spicy so add sparingly. This will definitely be my new street taco spot and whenever I need more Caldo De Res in my life! Will be recommending this spot to everyone! ”
“ This is a great spot to order from with Uber Eats. I haven't had much chance to get out there, but the food was great. They have frequent sales on Uber Eats, so watch for them. We had the great burritos and the tacos, they tasted really authentic and we loved the green sauce as well. I do need to get out there sometime I know, but if you are not able to get out this is a good choice in the delivery scheme of things. ”
