Folks, it's not often you find a gem like this in a mall. If you are looking for some amazing food for a great price please go check this place out. Service was quick, everybody that we don't with was nice. I had the street tacos, and absolutely devour them. My wife had the steak variation I had the chicken. And both hit very well. I will certainly be coming back to try more of their stuff. As I sit here in the food court thinking about possibly going to go get some food to go for later, it's just that good. Stop reading this and go try this out

This was delicious food. Huge portions, great value - and 2 for 1 drinks every day 2-6pm! I really enjoyed this place, service was great... If anything they were over staffed - plz give them more business.

I'm reviewing this because their taco truck parks in the Oasis Drive In lot in Saint Charles MN Fridays and Saturdays 11am-8pm. If you're going to Whitewater state park or live in St. Charles don't miss it! Absolutely incredible food. Chewy fresh tortillas, all the fixings, and incredibly flavorful meat. Don't miss it!

I used to eat here almost daily when they first opened up because I worked in the Apache mall. I’ve been living away from Rochester for almost 6 years and I still think about their amazing food regularly. One day I will make the 2 hour drive back to Rochester just to get your food again. You guys rock!

Everything is awesome!! The corn in a cup is definitely worth a trip for on it's own.

The BEST authentic tacos in Rochester hands down! In the summer we would sometimes go twice a week, and still never get tired of them! Always quick, quality, and everyone is so kind. Highly recommend!! They are inside Apache but also have a food truck by Auto Zone on south Broadway (by itchi). They also recently opened a restaurant in Byron!

Tried the new location in Byron. Very spacious. Service was great. Salsa was delicious I ate all of it and had seconds. I ended up getting the street tacos, but they have a great selection of authentic Mexican food. Rice was good (not the rice with the bagged mixed vegetables)! Tacos were delicious. Respectable, professional, kind owner.
