This family owned restaurant was originally just a store for Latin American foods and stuff, then they started serving tacos from a little window in the back of the store. It took a few years for word to get around (partly because service was only in Spanish in the beginning), but now the word is out and the place is always busy. Perhaps the most authentic Mexican place in town.
