Ordering Strategy
It is primarily a grab-and-go or counter-dining spot. Order 3-4 tacos per person for a full meal. Don't skip the add-on salsas, specifically the Salsa Macha.
What to order
Beef Short-rib Suadero Taco
Consistently praised across reviews for its rich flavor, featuring aged beef fat and often paired with burnt onion.
Carne Asada
A substantial sharing dish served with aguachile negro, burnt spring onion, and tortillas. Be warned: it comes with a salsa that reviewers describe as 'punishingly hot'.
Coconut Tres Leches
Called 'a dream of a dessert' by critics, this version uses cajeta—a caramelised goat milk dulce de leche—and is finished with a thin meringue topping.
Iberico Secreto al pastor
An 'excellent take' on the traditional al pastor, utilizing high-quality Iberico pork and served with a 'punchy' pickled pineapple.

Good to know
The food is almost entirely gluten-free (corn tortillas). While they have hosted dinner pop-ups in the past, recent reports suggest they may be daytime-only, so check hours before heading for dinner. Seating is covered but outdoors/in the market.
