Do you make your tortillas? How big are they?
Yes, we make our flour tortillas in-house daily. Unfortunately, we don’t have enough kitchen space to make corn tortillas, but we try to source them locally whenever possible.

How many tacos should I order?
Our tacos are both delicious and filling because of the larger flour and corn tortillas we use and the filling we put inside. We typically recommend 2-3 tacos per person.
