The most delicious barbacoa in the world! The waitress is always friendly and recognizes us since are regulars. Great selection of candy and fresh fruit. I recommend getting a pound of babacoa with cilantro and cebolla with a pound of torillas, believe this, this serves at least 13 tacos (I usually eat 7).
