    The only taqueria I know of on this side of the bridge to have hormone-free meat and so the only taqueria I frequented all through the pandemic, and now. I've noticed the portion size decrease, as some recent reviews have mentioned, but as I won't eat any other quality of meat I'm still a huge fan.

    Consistently great crispy chicken tacos for the 10 or so years I've been coming here. Thank you Cactus!

    Tasty crunchy tacos. Salsa could be a bit tastier/spicy other than that the taco are a goto with guacamole added to the taco as a standard.

    I love this place! I'm picky with Mexican food, but everything I've had here has been great so far! The flavor of all the food and quality has always been good. Good menu selection. And they are very quick to get your order out and have never messed up my orders. The taco was bigger than most tacos... if you want something lighter or aren't super hungry one is enough, and if you're on the hungry side I would order 2, but it does come with chips. The burrito was the perfect size and the meat quality is juicy and fresh. I like their pinto beans. When you pick up your order ask for their extra salsas next to pick up... there's 3 different kinds and they're all great. You order at the counter and they work on your order and there's plenty of seating. Someone comes quickly to clean your tray and plates quickly after you're done.
