One of the best Al Pastor Tacos I’ve had in all of California! The meat quality and proportion of the tacos are 💯 and the free sides (grilled onions are our fav) are cherries top! Amazing local gem!
★★★★ "I never, ever, have ever said this but, I don’t think i paid enough… (never said this especially living in SF)
