Very tasty and good tacos, they are different that the regular tacos you find around Mexicali on taquerias. On these tacos the carne asada is the whole piece on the tortilla and they say is New York steak or something like that. The salsas are very good, overall they are a good choice, the downside is that they are in the open so avoid going when is either too hot cold or windy or raining outside.

Expensive place by any taco stand standards, however this place doesn't aim to be a taco stand. The carne asada is on a whole different level. Only steak meat it's served here. The quantity of the portion served is not the biggest, but it's ok.

Hands down, the best next-level taco joint in Mexicali. When it comes to Price, Service and Flavor this place has them all beat! Add to it, they have bar stools and tables, so if you want to share the experience or have a moment, you're in the right place. Al fresco with no annoying music blasting, this place has enough ambiance to make the time count. I usually try the Taco Queto and Taco Gringa, highly recommended.

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.

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.
