  The Carne Asada Tacos Are Amazing. Generous Portions Of Meat.

  I'd eaten here a few times in the past, tried the steak ranchero, the breakfast tacos, and a few plates. But just recently I ordered the Carne Asada Tacos, Bean & Cheese Tacos, and Bean and Bacon Taco.
  
  The Carne Asada taco here, is the best one I've ever had. The meat is diced into small but thick pieces. The meat is a little chewy but also tender, because theres a good mix of fatty edge to it, that adds to the flavor. The grill flavor and maybe the oil they use creates a really good crisp on the edges of the meat, while keeping it moist. The amount of meat in these is generous with meat falling out the ends as you eat. I usually have to fold the foil and dump the remainder, or scoop it up with my fingers.The taco comes unloaded with no toppings, onion, cilantro and lime come on the side. When you put everything on it, including a bit of salt the taco it makes is absolutely delicious.
  
  I've had quite a few asada tacos, from taco trucks, festival stands and Mexican restaurants, but this one takes the number one position. I've since returned a few times already to purchase more of them as they are available from open to close, even at 5:30 in the morning.
  
  The bean and cheese tacos were good as well, the beans have good flavor, they load the taco up and put a generous amount of shredded cheddar cheese on them. When they first come out piping hot the cheese is almost liquified, and the beans and cheese want to squeeze out the end of the taco.
  
  The same holds true for the bean and bacon. With a crisp slice of bacon added on top of the same beans. Another taco full of flavor. They have a taco special, when you buy multiples of 3 on certain tacos, but all tacos must be the same type.
  
  Where I had been reasonably satisfied and given this place an average rating before, the carne asada taco has raised this restaurant to a lot higher position. I imagine there might be some more great items on the menu. But so far this taco is the go-to item here. I would highly recommend coming over to try it.

  Breakfast Tacos Are OK, Steak Ranchero About Average

  I recently ate at this location twice. First time was breakfast tacos and the second time was a steak Ranchero plate.
  
  I wasnt overly impressed by the items I tried so far. The steak was about average, the portion size was decent but not large. A few of the breakfast tacos were just decent, I tried the egg and potato, and the chorizo and egg.
  
  Pricing on many of the items is about average. Wait times in the Drive-Thru aren't too bad in the early morning.
  
  I plan to return and try more items.
