"The egg and potato tacos with corn tortillas and cilantro and their homemade green salsa are so good and reasonably priced. Call ahead because there is usually a bit of a wait. Parking is very small."

"I order the beef fajita tacos VERY often through uber eats. These tacos are hands down some of the best I’ve ever had in my life. Highly highly recommend. Other items on the menu look good, but I’m just so obsessed with the tacos that I haven’t wanted to order anything else."

"Hidden Gem for Tex-Mex Enthusiasts! If you're on the hunt for authentic Tex-Mex flavors, look no further than this charming spot. I indulged in their Barbacoa burrito, loaded with beans, lettuce, tomato, cheese, and avocado, paired perfectly with a refreshing hibiscus juice. The staff here are incredibly friendly, and the cleanliness of the place was a pleasant surprise. What really impressed me was the speed at which my food arrived - it was lightning fast! Needless to say, I'm already planning my next visit. Can't wait to explore more of their menu!"

"This is the best tacos la bala location, in my opinion. I normally get their salad with lettuce, tomatoes, ham, cheese , avacado, and whatever else it has in it.Most locations of tacos la bala don't let you pick whatever meat you want for the salad. They only let you pick chicken or beef. This location lets me get a barbacoa salad or whatever meat I want in the salad, I could even do half/half with different meats. They always give me green sauce and red sauce, extra sauces, and limes. I love their customer service as well. Also, the salad is nice and very reasonably priced. I always spend under $10."

"Love this place when we are in the area. Authentic and family style. Love the tacos. Quesadillas and Mexican coke. Big menu for all the preferences out there. This probably the 10th time ate here before remembering to write a review. English / Spanish is okay!"

"Good and fast service. The torta bread was good but the pastor and fajita beef lacked flavor. Their salsa are good and spicy though so that helped a bit."
