Authentic Mexican street tacos in Urbana

Urbana is home. Our stand sits on North Cunningham Avenue, and it is where every taco, burrito and torta we make starts its day. If you live, work or study in Urbana, you are never far from a fresh plate of street food that tastes like it should.

Right here in Urbana at 1002 N Cunningham Ave

We are a short hop from the University of Illinois, so students and staff who need real food between classes have made us a regular stop. Grab four tacos with cilantro and onion after a long day on the Quad, or a loaded super taco when you want something that eats like a full meal.

Locals heading to Crystal Lake Park, Meadowbrook Park or Busey Woods swing by to fuel up before a walk, and folks near Carle on the west side call ahead so their order is ready when they roll through. Wherever you are in town, we are the quick, honest lunch or dinner that beats another drive-through.

Because we cook everything to order, your tacos are hot when they reach your hands. No heat lamps, no shortcuts, just the kind of Mexican street food a family stands behind.
