Grilled over 100% mesquite coal, it has an incredible taste. We ordered a whole chicken, which comes with two sides of tortillas and salsa. It was more than enough for our family of four, and there were leftovers! We also tried two Carne Asada Tacos, which were the best I’ve had in the valley—better than those at Hinterhof Tacos, trust me. We even indulged in dessert. The total for our meal? Just $27! I highly recommend this place.

The macaroni and beans are a must on your tacos. Salsa Bar is high quality with legit tasty Guacamol sauce. And I think they also have cactus salsa. Half a chicken meal will feed two people, but it will not get you filled.

The grill in the back always goes so that it is nice to see the flame that makes it magic. The tacos are really good, highly recommended. The chicken is the best, the pig is the runner up and the Asada would be my last choice. It's called "pollo picante" for a reason. The chicken is really the star here. I usually order the Taco combo. Also the vampiro combo is good. They serve chili, cucumber and picked onions with the meal and they are the perfect compliment to the tacos. I never ordered the Burritos here, but they are available. Order before time because they take forever. And even if you preorder, they still take forever.

Tacos are fantastic (pollo and carne asada but the half chicken is the way to go (you know it's amazing when locals are taking photos to show off to their friends.
