    Excellent food! Tacos were delicious. Very friendly service. Great little town. Food truck, don’t let that deter you! Carne asada tacos were the fave. Fresh green spicy salsa and limes were the perfect toppings.

    Best tacos in town! Across from the Mobil station. Must try one of each. I loved the carnitas. The salsas are tasty especially the green one.

    We were told to come here by some locals because they said it was the best place to get tacos and they were right. The owner herself took our order and prepared our food so this is a great small business. We had shrimp, steak, and chicken tacos and they were all excellent. The ingredients were fresh and the salsa was Smokey and spicy. We are climbers and love tacos and these are for sure up there on the list of great eats during our travels. For sure worth the stop.

    Love this place! Authentic Mexican. We had many tacos and they were all delicious! 10/10 would eat most nights if I were local. Thank you! From New Zealand

    Our food was made fresh when we ordered it! It was a great option for our late dinner when all of the other restaurants in town were closed. We were so hungry after hiking Mt. Whitney that day. Thank you for the great burritos!

    Best Mexican food I have ever had in my whole life! We drove from Kingman, AZ through Death Valley, it’s quite late when we arrive Lone Pine and we were so lucky this place was opened until 10:30 pm. We ordered an Only Meat Asada & Cabeza Burritos and a Cabeza Quesadillas - And we enjoyed every bite of them. The portions were good and the flavors were so rich. Will need to come back again!
