Had these tacos after work once and they were great ! The asada and Al Pastor were great and a definite hit. The burrito was even better and the horchata was one of the best I've had from a restaurant or street vendor. Absolutely a place that is worth a try and will become a new go to for tacos and the like. I definitely recommend this place. That said I didn't dine in but took the food to go so I cant say anything about the dine in experience. I'd have pictures but the food was too good I didn't even think to take them after starting to eat.

Service was good. Bring cash. Or you will have to pay a credit card fee. The wet burrito was 11 bucks

Came to finally try these tacos after a soccer game. We had seen the reviews but never stopped. I can say the reviews are accurate. These tacos are good. Meat is soft and flavorful. We will definitely be back when we are back in this area. We had asada and al pastor tacos.

The Hungry Hardhat came to see for himself what all the hype was about on social media. Ordered a variety of tacos and my son tried a quesadilla. The service was great and inside was clean. As for the tacos they were hot and well made and authentic. I would definitely recommend TDC to all and a return customer for sure. So let it be said... So let it EATEN!!

Decided to check out this place due to its high reviews. We found the owner or front person was very passionate about all the different styles of taco, burritos and nachos. We came in only desiring a snack, but then ending up ordering three meals due to all the choices that sounded so delicious. We really enjoyed their food, and they give you a great amount for the price. The ingredients were really good, and they give you lots of meat. I particularly loved the lengua and tripa (as they cooked it the way I liked it). The reason I give it one less star is the ambience. Its definitely a mom and pops restaurant and the lighting is very dim. Otherwise, the food was good and the prices are great! The owner is so awesome and provides good service too!

Have you ever: first, not been feeling hungry, then took a bite of food, and the food was so good that it made you so hungry that you ended up crushing the whole thing? Yeah, this place will do that to you. I'm partial to the carne asada, which has consistently been tender and well-seasoned. The quesadillas are my favorite here, followed by the burrito (get it with cheese!). The people here are very friendly and the prices are quite reasonable. Food comes out quick! Plus they have a little parking lot out back. I'll definitely stop by anytime I'm in the area.

Was searching for tacos on Yelp and this place popped up. They're located on a corner with the parking behind the building. Once inside the man taking our order asked if it was our first time and gave us some great recommendations. The place is nice and quiet and gives a homey vibe. We got 2 quesadillas which were packed with flavor. 1 Al pastor quesadilla and 1 carne asada quesadilla, 1 cabeza Mulita, and 2 tripa tacos. They really pack each dish with meat and flavor. The tripa tacos were so crispy and had the perfect crunch. They also give u a small plastic bag for the sides like radish, limes and more. Don't be afraid to ask for more bags!! We also got both salsas which were the perfect amount of flavor and spice. Overall I would definitely recommend this place if you are looking for some great authentic Mexican food. The service was incredible! The food was amazing! And can't wait to come back! Tip: ask for the tripa to be extra crispy!!!

This place is a hidden gem. If you want a hole in the wall mom and pop place that makes good Mexican food then come here!! It seems to be a popular spot for people from the neighborhood. I went with an all meat carne asada burrito with onions, cilantro and avocado. Not only was it good, but the portion size was generous as well. The asada meat was flavorful and not dry or overly oily at all. I went a 2nd time recently and it was just as good. I recommend the red salsa to top off the burrito. The staff, Sal at the front counter was really accommodating and he had a really good attitude in providing great customer service. He's truly one of the nicest guys and he went out of his way to make sure that my burrito was tasty. Parking is in a small lot on the back. I always opt to park in the street for convenience. I'm going to stop by this spot whenever I can when I crave some good burritos.
