A compact North Corona taqueria that treats tortillas and fillings with unusual care, pressing masa to order and keeping the menu tight. It’s best when you post up for a short, focused meal of a few tacos and maybe one quesadilla instead of trying to eat through the whole board.
Must-Try Dishes:
Suadero tacos, Al pastor tacos, Quesadilla on housemade tortillas
