A City Heights Original
Counter service on Home Avenue since day one — tacos, burritos, mariscos, and breakfast made with care and no shortcuts.
Mariscos & Seafood
Most taco shops stop at carne asada. We also do shrimp cocktails, ceviche, fish dishes, and seafood burritos rooted in coastal Mexican tradition.
