"This was our 1st time here. We stopped in to eat before my dentist appointment. It is a small place at the corner of a strip mall with about 4 tables and 15 chairs in all. There is a TV and a single bathroom( which is clean . The service was very good. You order at the counter. She was ready to help us as soon as we walked in and checked on us a couple of times while we were seated. (very attentive The horchata is light with good flavor and not too sweet but a little pricey. We ordered a taco salad, 2 tacos and corn in a cup. We received chips and salsa at the table. Both were flavorful. The chips were warm and not greasy. The taco salad was a little sparse with the tomatoes (8 little chopped pieces but good amount of lettuce and cheese. The meat was seasoned and also NOT greasy. Huge win there! Maybe the shell hides how much is really in there because it appeared, in my opinion, to be on the smaller side with the fillings. We tried the Gavilan tacos. These include steak, bacon and chorizo with onion and cilantro. I was expecting a greasy mess considering the meat combination. But, surprise!!! No grease : Totally winning me over and we didn't leave hungry. The grand finale was the corn in a cup. This hit the spot. It was just like buying it from the street vendor in the city. (oh how I've missed you . All in all, they have my vote and I will be a repeat customer."
