Always tell my friends not to sleep on this place, its the best kept secret in Floral Park. Great food. I've never even tried the tacos I always go for an assortment of the braised dishes up front for takeout. 2 meats, rice and beans, definitely ask for the onions and the green sauce on top before they wrap it up. Now im hungry.

Tried their tacos, was fresh and good. The green sauce was fresh and spicy just the way I like it. I will definitely go back and try other food on their menu.

Pretty much what I expected which is a good thing. Tacos were full of meat and ingredients. Same for the torta and the tostada were big. Guacamole was very fresh. Highly recommend this place

Great tasting to-go tacos!!! Great folks working behind the counter. The tacos remind me of some great hoke-ib-the- wall tacos from Astoria.

Fantastic and friendly service. Steak torta and buffet food hit the spot. Perfect hole in the wall place to fill up on food. They take credit cards, but I'd recommend cash.
