We went to this restaurant around 130am on Saturday we ordered tacos and a quesadilla. Staff was nice and didn't take long for them to make our food fresh. There was seating next door but we opted to eat in our car. It was cash only and less than $40 for the 3 meals.

Huge portions, great meal. You know it’s good when they have double corn tortillas. Green and red salsas are both great and pack a slow heat. We liked the pastor and carne asada the most. Only downside is the order took a while - they told us 20 mins (it might have been a bit faster). Deep fried pork was yummy, not super memorable, and the lengua was delicious and super tender. Horchata was also solid, $6 for a giant takeout soup container worth lol

Some of the best carne asada tacos I've had in the city. Great little traditional spot with quick service. Cash only!

Fantastic tacos! Very flavorful and big portions. Will definitely come back for more. The neighborhood made me feel a bit uneasy, should’ve gone during the day.

Ordered 6 tacos de pollo with a jarrito for $30 . I was expecting to taste something like the tacos me and my wife used to have in Texas. We both were highly disappointed. They give you a good amount of meat on the tacos it's a heavy size taco but the flavor isn't there. We ended up giving our tacos to a homeless person. We won't be returning for $4 a taco. Not worth it. The staff was friendly. But yea..... Mexiitalia grill on South Street todavía tienes los mejores tacos de pollo. Pero gracias

The absolute worst Mexican restaurant in America, birra tacos are dry the meat is not shredded, very little meat disgusting. The quesadilla is terrible lol like literally some bent up tacos with some dry cheese in it. Like 0 stars for real. Don’t go here

Amazing Tacos! Bring cash. Call ahead to place order. At least 30 minutes earlier. Best 45 to an hour. They are very busy even late nights. Food quality the same even later in the night so you good for when the cravings hit.

Disappointed to say the least. Perhaps my expectations were too high. We got the #1 marinated pork, #9 mixed, and #8 pineapple... some may say that the way they prepare the tortilla is what makes it authentic, disagree. It was soggy and unseasoned. The meat of the #1 was the most flavorful for sure but the preparation of the other meats was better. Perhaps a torta or burrito would have been better idk. Also the prices are $12+ currently.
