Well ... if you read my other reviews you'll know about my Mexican-ness and I can tell you that their tacos are on-par with the best I've had en el D.F. Sorry if they aren't up to your "California" standards. But, then again, California hasn't been part of Mexico since the mid-1800's, right? All their meats are juicy, delicious, and authentic. The price can't be beaten. The only concern I had was that the restaurant is in the middle of the "'hood" but if you are judicious in your dress and attitude you won't have any problems. Please give them a try!
