The birria tacos here are the best I’ve ever had. Sometimes, at other places, you get birria and it’s somehow wet and dry at the same time. Here the meat was moist and the sauce/broth was very flavourful. Plus the people working were very welcoming. Highly recommend. As others have said, it’s very unassuming from the outside.

This is an authentic Mexican restaurant offering a variety of authentic Mexican food with a twist. We tried various tacos, churros and horchata. We enjoyed the tacos very much, especially the fish tacos, so crunchy with a corn shell . After the meal, we ordered another takeout order for 5 tacos and nachos. The portion is not big though. The owner Carlos is super nice and friendly, and the service is very fast too, would recommend if you’d like to try some real Mexican tacos .

Ordered takeout, got the 3 tacos (birria, al pastor and fish). All of them were seasoned very well and were so good. The nachos were also really good too! When i had picked up the order, i believe i was speaking to the owner. He was very kind, welcoming and generous. Thank you again! I highly recommend this place

I came here for an event and found the owner very friendly. He told us a bit of a history about Tacos and Mexican food and explained the ingredients of each taco we were going to try. I tried fish taco, Al Pastor, Eh! Taco and Campechano Taco and I’d say Campechano Taco was one of the best tacos I’ve ever had; it had perfect amount of spices. I would definitely come back to try it and other menu items.

Ay Caramba delivers true Mexican flavor. I love the atmosphere around here with the little booths and lighting decor. The owner is extremely friendly and has passion about the food that they serve. Most of the dishes are house made. I love their secret hot sauces. Not so secret now but I highly recommend you ask for them. Portions are very generous for real tacos. The chicken and beef were incredible with such great flavor. The fish was super delicious with a good chunk of haddock. The churro was perfectly cooked and not overly oily. Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside the way it should be. I like the way they serve their menu here with a flat price of five or three tacos. You can mix and match them any way you want or order all the same. There is no difference. I will definitely be coming back to try out some of the appetizers as five tacos filled me up and I couldn't have another bite. Great job! We'll be back.

Great Mexican spot! We had the carnitas nachos which were some of the best nachos we've had! Fresh tortilla chips and a good amount of toppings. Had a variety of tacos...birria, Al pastor, chorizo, fish, brisket. They were all great with amazing flavors. Will definitely be back!

Great place. Nice people. Beautiful atmosphere. Very authentic. Fresh food and home made nachos. Just wonderful. I would recommend serving Tamarindo drinks. Maybe caffe con leche. Some kind of a Mexican coffee for after meals. Deserts would be good too. Otherwise it’s a great place and I highly recommend it
