I've only visited this great restaurant maybe about 5 times in the last years. My family is always here and there's good reason to be. Great food, service and Coffee ! Such an awesome vibe. Table service is amazing. Regulars are kind and welcoming. Hand made tortillas that'll melt in your mouth! I can't honestly wait to go back again when I can! Now, let's eat

I come here for my breakfast of champions, tacos. I always mix it up for a variety of flavors. The tortillas are always good & the beans are great, which will keep me around. Bad beans will make me flee! The lady is always ready to take my order & is happy to serve me. Always welcoming, try them out. Call for the breakfast taco special!

Authentic Mexican food at its finest!! This was my first time trying real Mexican food, and it was FANTASTIC. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food came fast and you could tell that lots of time and love went in to it. We had the puffy taco and carne asada, both were great. They offer Mexican and regular Coke. We plan on visiting again real soon.

You could easily drive by this orange building without knowing. But you would miss out on some great homemade tortillas and excellent food. Our friends brought us to El Puesto #1 and bragged on the tortillas and they were right. All the food is good. We have come by for a late breakfast and always find a table. They also have good coffe.

So me and my boss just ate here and he recommended I try the trepas taco, and this was the best taco I have ever had. This is my 3rd time here and the food texture is great and delicious. I wish I could take these people home with me.
