OKAY WOW! These are the BEST tacos ever. The homemade tortillas are already amazing and then topped with flavorful al pastor with salsa is literal perfection. They pack it up all nice, too. I just want to sit there and not count how many I could eat. $3 each and they accept zelle. Whoever is cooking all that food is a local hero.

Excellent street taco stand. Been living in Vermont for the last 10 years and missing the great street tacos of East LA so here in Sacramento this place was a great find. I ordered the Cabeza, linguica and carne asada tacos which are the small hand made tortillas, hand made there using a pasta rolling machine instead of a customary tortilla oress and all were outstanding. All the buckets of condiments were there... cilantro/onion, limes, salsas, spicy pickled veggies, grilled onions, bell peppers and Serrano chiles, fresh, sliced crunchy cucumbers... muy delicioso! As Arnold would say... I'll be back!

Love the tacos here, some of the best I've had in Sacramento. They make their own tortillas fresh in front of you, and have a trompo producing perhaps the best al pastor I've ever had. I'm taking one star off because they aren't the most reliable on their hours. Multiple times I've driven over, craving a taco, only to find the location deserted, even when it's within their open hours listed here. It's a small operation, so it makes sense they would need to close unexpectedly at times, I just wish there were a way to find that out before I planned on getting dinner there.

I do really like coming here with my friend most of time because this is best tacos ever i tried in Sacramento! Most tacos i tried and i couldn't find what i like. Cabeza, leguna & al pastor street tacos are my fav to order every time! The service is pretty good because it wasn't crowded or waiting in lines. The service is pretty well and the lady who take our orders and every time I tell them "no onions" , i do appreciate that they will eventually take onions off for me because I don't like onions so thank you! Coming back super soon!!

This place was great, and a ton of people came through while we were eating there. With a number of options on the menu, there's something for everyone. The smell was intoxicating while we were there, and it really added to the experience. It made my mouth and stomach eager to welcome the food that was being prepared for us. They asked our preference on how to make the tacos: with or without onion and cilantro, which is a nice touch. Amounts are really subjective and up to personal preference, so it was nice it allowed flexibility for all individuals. The tacos were great, and I can't complain about any of them. The seasoning was solid on the particular meats I chose. The al pastor was tantalizingly rotating on the trompo, and we watched as the glistening meat was cut specifically for our order. Knowing it's that fresh off the spit is amazing. We also got a papa, and that was delicious. It came with a number of tortillas, so it's incredibly filling due to it being a large amount of food. The setup was well lit and even had a place to sit and eat, if that's what you prefer. They also had a good amount of salsas y más on anothrt table. They had some salsas in a squeeze bottle, which I personally like as an addition. It makes it easy to add a particular amount or to fill up the little cups cleaner. With a parking lot to themselves, it was easy to be there. I'll definitely be back.

We're not from Sac, but decided to try this place on our way south. Went around 10:30pm on a chilly Saturday night, No line. Ordered carne asada tacos, pastor tacos, a carne asada burrito and a horchata. Order was ready super quick. I like how the cheese was melted onto the quesadilla for the burrito. Great portions! I don't normally go for the Pastor meat, but this place makes it tasty. Carne asada and horchata were yummy too. I'd come again if I was in the area. The place where they're stationed at is next to a small building and is hard to miss because of their lights around the canopy, but the parking lot is dim lit. Cash only and open until midnight. Yelp didn't have their actual address. I had to go on their instagram for it. 3501 Watt Ave, Sacramento, CA 95821

Came here on a Friday night and it was super busy and the line was never ending! Waited about 30-35 mins for our taco order and it's cash only! The al pastor was cooking on a wheel and was cut fresh whenever ordered. The tacos were pretty decently priced and there's a self serve section for the condiments and salsa. Felt like the meat needed to be seasoned a tad more but was still great!
