Authentic Tijuana-Style Tacos Near Alamo Drafthouse

What makes our tacos special? We don't cut corners. Every taco starts with quality meat—our carne asada is marinated using our house recipe, then grilled fresh on the plancha. Our al pastor is slow-roasted on a vertical trompo with pineapple on top, creating those crispy, caramelized edges you can't get any other way. Our pollo asado is juicy and flavorful, prepared fresh daily.

The toppings are simple but essential: fresh cilantro, finely diced white onions, and a squeeze of lime. That's it. This simplicity is what defines Tijuana-style street tacos—letting the quality of the meat shine through without unnecessary frills. Add our house-made salsas (from tangy verde to smoky roja) and you've got perfection in every bite.
