    Most reviewers rave about the Tacos Dorados de Barbacoa (Hard-shell, fried beef tacos) which are pretty good. I would suggest you pack them with cilantro, onions, and their red salsa to truly bring out the flavor of the wonderful beef.

    But hold on a second. I saw someone order the Barbacoa in a soft shell taco and they gave you way more beef than the hard shell. So yes, I ordered it in the soft shell and I think this is the star of the menu, contrary to most reviewers. That beef is so flavorful and tender. Topping it with those ingredients I noted above makes the taco perfecto! So from here on out, I'm ordering the soft-shell barbacoa tacos only. More beef, better experience, and they are the same price as the hard-shell.

    I have also tried their carne asada soft-shell tacos and they have some pretty decent asada. They were taste. (yes, "TASTE"-that's my word)

    The location: Yes, it's a smaller kitchen/trailer sitting on a side walk on Hooper, right across from the Smart-n-Final store in DTLA. No place to sit but sometimes you can squeeze into a space on the stainless steel trailer counter. All this contributes to a true street-taco experience.

    Do yourself a favor and head down there and try both hard and soft shell barbacoa tacos and you decide what is best. It will be $1.65 well-spent.

    Oh yeah, service is pretty quick. Don't be fooled by the long lines, they get you in and out in a reasonable time frame.
