Haven't been in 10years and decided to have a late lunch there today ! The tacos are still amazing with a perfect crunch
Everything I've eaten here has been delicious. The prices are also the best of any other restaurant in LaBelle. Pay them a visit and you will return again and again. But remember to bring cash... plastic not used.
