Order at the counter, bring your ticket to the kitchen and wait for pickup. I had two carne asada tacos, one Al pastor taco, and one Al pastor vampiro. I found everything to be delicious, but especially the al pastor taco with pineapple. Price is good too! Just a short walk from the Nugget.

These are the most authentic Tijuana tacos you can never get in. Reno. Theyre al pastor is red like its supposed to be. If you want authentic Mexican tacos, this is the place to go. They also won awards for best taco at Taco fest multiple times.

Best tacos ever!!!! We come from Stockton Ca and its a must that we eat here every day that we are vacationing in Reno!

They only serve out of a driveup window and are the absolute worst at giving any kind of good service at all!! The absolute worst, from walking away from You to not coming to the window to take Your order,, after honking your horn ...

Delicious tacos with lots of flavor. I had the carnitas tacos and the Al pastor tacos. Both were delicious. Staff was friendly and drive thru was quick. I ate the carnitas tacos too fast but I did get a pic or two of the Al pastor tacos. I also had a Jamaica to wash it all down. Would definitely come back next time Im in Reno.

Tacos were amazing, service was great and drive thru was quick. Decent size tacos with enough meat on each taco. Ill be going back for sure.

Best Carne asada fries in town for 19 bucks I added beans ...

Dont let the outside fool you. The tacos are the best. They also have really good prices
