Katie Whalon

Authentic Tijuana tacos , homemade tortillas and a variety of meats they chop right in front of you. These tacos are so fresh! The handmade tortillas have the best texture.

Rj St Thomas

Without a doubt some of the best tacos you'll ever eat!

Tony Bakhaazi

Good food freshly made to order including the tortillas . Only problem is the seating; for such a busy place they should make sure they can accommodate the constant traffic they have.

Johurimam Kuddus

Oh my god these tacos are just so good. They have a euphoric flavor that reminds me of the true authentic Mexican flavors I had as a kid. The carne asada tacos are to die for.

David Esquire

By far, some of the BEST tacos & grub you'll ever have! Also, be sure to go to the liquor store next door to get some beers & it's the perfect meal. Just put your beer in a paper bag & enjoy!

Mimi Nguyen

Love this place! Best tacos you can get on the strip for a great price. I highly recommend the lengua , (spicy pork ) adobo and asada. Lengua fries are aaamazing!

Ashok Gunasekaran

Authentic Mexican Tacos , delicious and must go !! The good news is that there is parking in the side strip mall and prices are very affordable .

Eliza Tarasila

Good, fresh tacos ... get the steak ones and the beef tongue ones (so soft and yummy and unique).

JK Grence

The adobada/pastor tacos are their signature item. Tacos are street taco size but well-stuffed; order an extra taco so you don’t have to get back in line when you want seconds.

David Packles

Forget the overpriced Las Vegas fare and make a short trek north of the strip for some of the best Mexican you've had in your life.

Chris Steele

Get here before 11am if you want to avoid the lunch rush and try a few different stations in a single trip.

Sean McKenzie

The fries and the whipped soda is the one. Spicy pork ? Out of this world. This is a must-eat in Vegas. Period.

Tyler Tanner

I was raised in Texas and live in California. So I know tacos . This shack just beat 'em both. Try the cabeza and the al pastor and buy plenty.

Enrique Gómez

Very authentic taqueria . Get the std tacos and quesadillas . The fries are massive! Would get more tacos instead

Chad Stoller

Holy shit. These might be the best tacos you ever eat in your life. Go for the steak and the spicy pork . You will eat 3, but then wish you had ordered 4.

Kristine R

Get the Spicy Pork or Beef Shoulder tacos . You can put your order in with any of the guys at the counter. They will get to know you if u go often and tip well . They will give you a little extra meat!

Michelle

There are separate lines for each type of meat that you want. First you get your food, than you head to the cashier to pay. Next time I am in Vegas, I will go here for sure.

Nydia Alvarez

The carne Asada isn't the best I've had but hands down on the pastor meat. It's exquisite ???????? the flavor is rich and juicy!

Saveur Magazine

There are two locations of this mini-chain, where in-the-know Las Vegas residents go for their no-frills, all-flavor tacos . For best people-watching, the one on the strip can’t be beat. Read more

Sailor

I will be dreaming about these pork quesadillas for a long time and the tacos are superb

reece pacheco

make time to get off the strip a bit, and hit this place up. some of the best tacos i've had. spicy pork ftw and the adobada fries are ridiculous.

Michelle Montes

Carne asada tacos were good but the adobada tacos were better! Make sure you get the handmade tortillas , I got a mix of both (no choice) but nothin' beats the handmade !

What's Good Here

Usually crowded , this is the best place for authentic Mexican tacos . You may have to visit multiple lines , but order everything.

VEGAS.com

Try the tacos de cabeza (head tacos ) or the tacos de lengua (tacos made with tongue meat) and don’t be afraid to try something new.

Joonss Park

steak taco was the best. I luv this place. Best cheap eat place in vegas

Katemarie Kingston

The best tacos al pastor I've ever had besides in Mexico. All food is prepared Tijuana style, so you really can't go wrong with anything here.

Mr. Ibeabuchi

Great tasting steak tacos , they might be a little too overpriced but it’s definitely worth it.

Chris H.

You must wait in line regardless of how long it is. It'll be worth it.

Paulo Duran

Buy a beer next door and enjoy with some adobada and tripe tacos .

Stryfe SinCity

Try a Vampiro (crunchy style) or Mulas(soft style) with any meat. They are like sandwiches made with tortillas . SOOO TASTY!

Denise Powell

BEST tacos and quesadillas I've ever tasted in life...and affordable , too! The steak and the spicy pork are awesome!

Rosa Flores

Tacos de Adobada (ask for pineapple ) mulitas, tostadas , taco Azteca de chorizo ... The best tacos you'll probably have in the u.s ????

Ron Phipps

This is a must stop. Open till late so satisfy those late night hunger pangs. Best tacos Ever.

Elizabeth Cajayon

Fantastic sopes , mulitas, tacos . I love the lengua and adobada !

Jimmy Thompson

Wow these are good especially the pork and how authentic - order with corn rather than flour tortillas

Jay Fenster

I've eaten a lot of tacos in my life. The adobada tacos here are the best I have ever eaten. Ever.

Nate Krause

The al pastor is where it's at.

Andrea Dulko

Pro tip: sesos = brains. Not bad, though it prob would't have been my first choice had I translated correctly. Spicy pork on the other hand is stellar.

Matt Marcin

Best Tacos you can buy. Get the adobada with everything on it. Tip them too!

Stryfe SinCity

They have a aqua frescoes machine for refills just like soda . Open late and on the strip, easy to get to. A new fave!

Freddy

Always packed but you can always find a seat! Best tacos no doubt. Quesadillas are delicious.

Katie Whalon

These tacos are so fresh! The handmade tortillas have the best texture.

Michael @MJvegas Jones

Fresh, quick and low cost. Great location. 2 blocks north of Encore Hotel !

Bee Gonzalez

Best Tacos Ever! Every time I come to Las Vegas I have to at least stop once. Most ive been here in a day is 4 times ????

Seattle Runner

Try the Taco de Carne Asada !

Stephanie Chase

These will be some of the best tacos you eat in your life. Trust me.

Tamara Reisch

Taco de suadero is the best on the menu! Tacos are small so consider getting two.

Lisa Gemello
