No menus other than the life sized one on the back wall. Great pineapple salsa with the roasted pork taco. Order a few varieties! Staff barely speak english, but it makes it interesting. Only 1 type of beer, Pacifico, but you can bring in your own. For two adults, 7 tacos, 2 beer and a pop, $16 USD!

Your trip to del Cabo isn't complete if you don't come here at least once. The al pastor tacos are without equal and so cheap! This is really local color: don't expect a romantic atmosphere!

After all the bit pretentious and very expensive restaurants in SJ this was a refreshing change. Clean, good ,quick and cheap.

These are the best al pastor tacos in Baja. Authentic, rotiserrie-style, with a thin slice of pineapple. Delicious salsa on the side, along with poco de gallo, and a great avocado/jalapeno green sauce.

Don't be put off by appearances. This place serves huge and delicious meals. Be sure to try the tacos al pastor. You will definitely not feel like you are in a gringo hangout-- we went there on Christmas and the crowd was all locals. Great deal for the money.
