"First visit made us aware of what we have been missing around the Tri-Cities. Most places say they have the best tacos, but this place can prove it. Super friendly, good prices, great tasting food, what else do we need! This is now our go-to place, their Pineapple sauce is so good, I bought a bottle and use it on burgers and more-" -Ranbud
