“ Should try gorditas de asada and Jamaica water, tasty food, the salsa roja was well spicy, you can pay with card or cash and they're kind people. ”
“ Came here a few times before writing this review and their steak tacos are very consistent (and DELICIOUS). The Margaritas weren’t strong at all and even with an additional shot of tequila, it didn’t taste like there was any liquor in it. It won’t let me upload the videos of my food for some strange reason, so all I have is a photo of the menu I took. I would personally recommend their steak tacos! ”
“ Rolled into Taqueria Tayahua for dinner and grabbed a plate of carne asada tacos with a horchata on the side. Tacos came out hot, meat was seasoned well and the tortillas tasted fresh—super filling too. Salsa’s got a nice kick without blowing your head off. Spot feels very no-frills, more of a neighborhood joint than anything fancy, but that’s the charm. Service was quick even though it was busy. ”
“ Came here to try it out and saw a video on it from TickTock. These carne asada huaraches are really delicious and full of flavor. Definitely recommend and coming back to try the rest of the menu Lol. Great service. Keep it up! Thanks for the recommendation, Priscila! ”
