This place is worth a detour on your journey. Perfect tacos. Steak, chorizo and al pastor were fantastic. Get the spicy salsa! Prices were very reasonable. Clean tables and fast service. This place has been open for 7 years and I can understand why. Highly recommended.

Fantastic tacos. Delicious tortilla. They also have stunning plants throughout the restaurant including the most impressive aloe plant I've ever seen. Located on Broadway in Pawtucket close to exits 29 and 30 off 95. Edit: In two years I still haven’t found a taco better than these and I have made it a point to try as many Mexican restaurants as possible. I go out of my way to drive here.

This is the best burrito place I’ve ever tried. My girlfriend and I are from Boston and every time we’re in Rhode Island, we have to stop by this restaurant. Sometimes we even make the hour drive just to eat here. Rice is soft and their pickled jalapenos are really soft and delicious.
