“ This place is so darn good I'm hesitant to even share it. It's as close as you're gonna get to TJ tacos this side of the border. Homemade tortillas is a must, real top grade beef, non of that knock off grey stuff, and their habanero salsa will blow your hair back woweee!!! ”
“ Pay cash to get 4% off!! They are closed on Mondays. No bathroom so need to walk to Starbucks. Parking can be difficult. Best tacos ever. Fresh handmade tortillas, FLAVORFUL meat that makes your mouth water. The quesotacos are my wife's favorites. You can't go wrong with your meat selection. It's all spectacular. My wife is a Mexican food connoisseur and says that Don Goyo is up there with the best tacos she has ever had if not the best. Enjoy! ”
“ First , there is no street parking or parking lot . Park at your own risk . I got asada tacos and a sope to go, no indoor seating . The asada is good but nothing out of this world. Give it a try if you can find parking ”
“ So fresh and quality was great. Couldn't asked for more honestly. Loved that it came with guacamole and the tortillas were so natural. Portion and price was amazing as well but beware the salsas all were spicy or had an element to spice. Even the "not spicy" ones like the red was spicy. Green was probably the most mild. Overall great small business to support. I got one pollo and pastor taco and both were juicy and not dry ”
“ I had some time to kill while getting my windows tinted next door (check out Direct Tint - best in the business). This is like a little taco shop/stand right out of Tijuana, Mexico. The food is all delicious, they specialize in Al Pastor anything. My only gripe, the physical location is a bit rundown, which is part of the authentic charm I suppose. Mismatched paint and stucco, along with a general disrepair. UNFORTUNATELY, I had to watch a cockroach battle a spiderweb while eating my quesadilla, not the imagery that makes you hungry. That is also a testament to the food, because it didn't stop me from grinding. LOL. That said, it was gross. Had my wife been with me, she would have immediately thrown her food away, or suddenly been not hungry. I had the Al Pastor quesadilla which was excellent and really filling, total cost was around, $8.50. I like that they also have an old-school push cart with additional toppings that really help bring out the flavor: onions, cilantro, pico de gallo, radish, limes, etc. Pro tip: they prefer cash, you get a 4% discount, OR, you pay a 4% premium if you use a credit card, cash is king. ”
