Honestly not sure why such low reviews; the elk taco was one of the better street tacos I’ve had.

Decided to try this place because I wanted something light for lunch. I ordered the barbacoa taco and carnitas tacos each $4. Service was fine, just very minimal interaction (you order it yourself at the tablet on the counter so it didn’t make sense to me to tip). I was the only one in line so it only took a few minutes to get my tacos. I was really surprised at the size of the tacos. Way smaller than expected. However- the taste was GREAT! I’m torn on if I’d order them again due to prices but I am tempted based on taste.

While charging my Tesla I suddenly got a craving for fish tacos. I was a little cautious because there seems to be quite a few negative reviews. I was pleasantly surprised at the taste and quality of the Baja Fish tacos. Very flavorful and fresh and the service was helpful and quick. Highly recommend the guac and chips as well

The tacos are pretty bomb!! The tortillas were a little soft/soggy because there’s a lot of oil on the meat. The wild elk was wonderful - pickled onions, cilantro, cheese melted. Super good tacos! And their spicy salsa/sauce was amazing too

Katie Martineau

SO GOOD! We came to the market specifically for these tacos because they’re so good. We highly recommend the elk, fish, and cactus tacos! You don’t know what you’re missing out on until you give them a try.
