So we were pretty hungry when we arrived here, so I hope I'm not biased, but I'd have to say I had a five-star experience here and left extremely satisfied with a smile on my face and wanting to come back.
I had the al pastor taco, tripas taco, tostada de ceviche, steak quesadilla grande, ands small horchata. Tacos were really good. Al Pastor was great and the tripas were a good crispiness and saltiness. Decent amount of meat in the tacos too. The tostada de ceviche (paid the extra 75 cents for avocado on top) was great as well and remained crispy even after I let it sit after a while, but the avocados were a bit meager compared to other places I've had this .. 4 pretty thin pieces..not sure if it was worth the extra cost. I would get these three all again. To my disappointment, the steak quesadilla wasn't as great as I imagine it would be. Just average, may not get this again here, but it didn't really lower my five star experience since we had so much food to eat. Horchata was excellent and a great price for a small cup. Ask for less ice to get some more horchata. Wish we got a large but it was good enough.
Unfortunately I didn't read the reviews until after we ordered...after I looked around and saw every single table around us eating soup!! I asked the waiter about this. He said it's their main dish. I also saw on the menu that they were on TV for this three times I think for their soup..carne en su jugo. I was really itching to try this now. I saw everyone dip their tortillas in the soup or pull out ingredients from the soup to eat in the tortilla as well. Was very intrigued. My husband asked the waiter if we could try a sample of the broth and he happily gave us a huge sample of pipin' hot broth. Tasted like a glorified chicken soup with a hint of bay seasoning (pretty sure that's not what's in it, just tasted similar) and slightly acidic. We were pretty full, so this will make us come back next time!!
Oh and there was some pickled carrot/cauliflower in a container at some of the tables. We asked about this and it's a complimentary item at the table, so they brought us one. Interesting and new to us. Can't say I loved this or new how to eat it, but added to the great experience!
Service was really good, staff was really nice and easy to catch if needed, ha. Five stars. We'll be back one day. Oh, and there's a really cheap pastry/bread place attached next door to check out after! -

Great gem we found while going to the recent Mexican festival. The tostada was very tasty, got it with al pastor. I usually don't like tostadas since the breads too thick, but it looked so good and tasted as good as it looked with soft but slightly crispy bread and generous portions of meat and avocado. The chorizo taco was also very good, though a little on saltier side. Horchata is a must-order and reasonably priced. Finally, the steak quesadilla was delicious with stringy cheese and juicy steak pieces- though wish there was slightly more meat to match the meat quantity in all the other food items (can't tell I like my meat?). Overall, want to go back again and try more stuff, especially the soup since apparently that's a big thing there (only realized at the end of our meal when we looked around at everyone else's orders).

I come to this spot for carne en su jugo only and it's simply the best! Nice service and decent prices.

Tacos are good but small.
Beans and rice are tasty.
They charge for cheese and sour cream.
Soda is pricey.
I enjoy the food but don't really like the extra charges and small taco size. -

In December I went to Puerto Vallarta and had THE BEST Carne en su Jugo. I was on a mission to find a place that could closely resemble my new found favorite soup. Unfortunately, this was not it. Their Carne en su Jugo was very basic with little flavor. The tacos were around the same, basic, not much flavor. The place in itself was a little confusing as well. Wasn't sure if we were to order at the front or sit. We were told to sit and we waited a bit for a waitress. Throughout our meal our "waitress" was hard to find and we had to flag someone down multiple times. My search will continue.
