This place has the best street tacos I've ever had in my entire lifetime. I would definitely go back if I lived in the area or whenever I am traveling through. I highly recommend their tacos on Tuesday. If you're in the area you have to try this place out if you like Mexican food.

I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Delicious food, friendly folks. Truly a hidden gem in Decatur. Honestly the most authentic Hispanic food I’ve had in Alabama. Will be making this place a regular stop.

Best tacos I've ever eaten hands down. Would recommend this to anyone, especially on Tuesdays for the 1 taco special. Very friendly and fast service. The BBQ tacos tasted almost similar to roast beef and was so tender it melts in your mouth.
