Excellent tacos. Some of the best I have had. The cut of meat they use is good and well seasoned. Two tacos are more than enough, but is definitely a place to return to in order to try all the options. The seating area is pretty small, but the waiters are there to help with any question.

Best tacos on the Baja peninsula. Highly recommend the Bipolar taco with steak and shrimp, but every taco we tried was 9/10 or 10/10 so you can't miss. The staff is fun and friendly. We had a great time every time we went there.
