Rating and reviews
"I have never had tacos similar to these. The combination of proteins, cheeses, sauces, fruits and vegetables are explosive! And the size of those babies…unbelievable! I could have been satisfied, with only two. I had no idea. I will definitely recommend this gem to anyone that will listen."
