I live in Belen and come to Albuquerque just for these tacos. The flavor is wonderful. It's simple and very tasty and the prices are fair. I had the carne asada tacos and a carne quesadilla. There was lots of flavorful meat and just enough greens and guacamole on quesadilla. I recommend to give them a shot when your out shopping or just looking for good simple street tacos.
