My Grande Carnitas Burrito was delicious on the first visit and better the second visit. I recommend getting it wet. The chef (dad/owner) makes all the recipes himself and I highly recommend getting the salsa.

Lovely little hidden gem. We had delicious street tacos and sat outside in a quiet cove away from the bustling crowds. The staff was warm and friendly. My favorite taco was the smoked brisket and my husband had a delectable seasoned vegetable and crispy tofu. Best meal we had on the island for a good price.

We walked in when we weren't even hungry and we ate 3 tacos! They were phenomenal!

Great big burrito served up hot and delicious. The pork verde was tender and tangy. Fast and friendly service.

The food, the food, the FOOD! So, with it being my first time to Friday harbor, good eats are a must. A friend and I have stumbled across this place and it hit the spot. The spices to plating make the whole atmosphere of the establishment something worth taking in. It’s a must when visit San Juan Islands

Awesome meal! Friendly host and staff! Quesadilla was packed with tasty goodness! Will be back!

Excellent authentic Mexican food. We loved the rice and bean bowl with smoked beef brisket. The chips and guacamole were delish and margaritas and anejo tequila, fantastic.

Best lunch on the island! Most delicious food, ready great prices (cheaper than any fish and chips and twice the flavor and quality), excellent service and great music/ vibe. #1 lunch spot
