Advice: No reservations, counter service.

Located in the heart of Davie Village, is this Mexican taco joint that serves authentic eats. It’s a simple set-up, run by a Mexican family who used to cook back in their home country of Mexico. Although the menu features several types of tacos, you can mix it up, the best value is to order 4 tacos for $8.50 or $7 if you want them all to be Vegetarian. I had 4 tacos on the plate, the delicious Tinga (Shredded chicken in a chipotle sauce topped with sour cream and cheese), Mole (Shredded Chicken with mole sauce with a slight hint of chocolate flavor topped with sesame seeds & sour cream); Rajas (Roasted poblano pepper with corn & zucchini. Topped with sour cream and Mexican cheese); and a Super Veggie (Potato, Kale & corn topped with pico de gallo salsa).

Presently there is only one dessert on the menu and it’s the popular Churros ($2.50) a straight sugar coated Mexican donut.
