Shrimp Tacos are soooo good! The owners, who cook and serve here, are so friendly and attentive. For being an outdoor eatery, the place is as good as you can ask for...UV shade tarps, solid frames and clean concrete with tons of parking. We showed up with a 31 ft travel trailer, no problem. This will definitely be my mandatory stop every time I’m running through Yuma!

Best Al Pastor tacos I’ve ever had. The meat was tender and juicy. And they make these peppers in some kind of vinegar sauce that you can get from the salsa station that are just... to die for.

Not only is it exceptionally clean. It definitely has the best food in the foothills! My mom has lived here for 2 years, glad we stopped in. Loved the salsa bar. I had one shrimp and one fish taco.

Really good food, I mean really good. Take out service is top notch, they take their time packing EVERYTHING for you, from the toppings to individual sauces. Shrimp taco and steak are the best. Not too pricey and the food is great before hitting the highway back to wherever you came from.

We love this place! Our favorite taco stand! Always delish, short wait for the order, good selection of condiments and dressings. Can bring your own alcohol, but must buy water, juice, or soda from their coolers.

Absolutely delicious, authentic, and homemade! Loved the atmosphere, even the patrons were friendly! We all had the fish and shrimp tacos, but would love to try them all.

Stop here for Tacos!!!! Fresh tortillas! Condiment bar! So many drink options. Speedy service. Trading post next door for shopping. 20 for 6 tacos

No outsoor drinks. Great pork tacos. Hubby had Fish & shrimp Taco. We will be back in the fall.
