We found it because we were passing through. We were pleasantly surprised with the taste of the tacos, how well they were served and the pleasant atmosphere at the tables in the little park to eat.

Exceptional and traditional place. I greatly love Chamorro tacos with pork rinds. The service and warmth is exceptional. The boy who always serves us, with the snub nose, always receives us excellently.

Super recommended, good prices, the flavor is incredible and the brain quesadillas with chop are wow! There is a healthy distance since the tables are outside and with good space between each one. It's my first time going but I'm already a fan.

In my experience, the waitress is very friendly, you can eat outdoors since they have tables or inside, the carnitas are delicious as well as the accessories, I only tried solid and it was not dry or greasy, there are drinks and dessert, there is cleanliness, outside there are flies, nature and the games in the little park.
