The tacos taste great, the tortillas are packaged but they're good... what I find incredible is that they serve everything on disposable Styrofoam plates! The pollution is tremendous.

Excellent tacos, spicy sauces and the cakes are the closest thing to those from Mexico. The place is small and noisy, it's nothing fancy but the food is worth it. On Thursdays there is pozole and pancita. The octopus tacos are also highly recommended on Fridays.

The best taqueria in Guatemala City in every way, but I didn't give it full points. Sometimes they take a while to serve because it stays so crowded, and you leave with the smell of food all over your clothes. For the rest, it's worth it.
