Sin duda las mejores carnitas de la zona norte, y Rafa siempre con su atención de primera, siempre te habla por tu nombre, excelente memoria, en cuanto al taco muuuuuy bien servido, la carne en su punto y que decir de las salsas, excelentes; ir ahí, entre la excelente atención de Rafita o su hijo y lo buenas que están las carnitas, es una super experiencia que no te puedes perder.
