I used to go here A LOT in the 80's and early 90's. I've never had tacos any better anywhere since then. I can't speak for now though. Linda and Sandy were the best waitresses.

Taco night was great. The tacos r wonderful. The environment doesn't equate to much of a positive experience but we went for tacos not expecting fine dining. We would go bak but plan to wait and parking is extremely limited. I give them a 5 based on tacos only.
