Our first time here and we enjoyed it. They have a large menu (see pictures) and some great daily specials. My wife had the Chili Rellenos and said it was delicious, I had the Enchiladas Combination Plate (2 Enchiladas with rice and beans) and enjoyed it. The Monday and Wednesday special is 99¢ Chicken tacos so we got some of those too. The other daily specials are on the pictures I took of the menu. They are open 25/7, so anytime is good. We will definitely be going back.
This place is actually really good. Compared to Roberto's or don tortaco, this place I'd definitely come back to. Their 99 cent tacos on Monday and Wednesday are big hard shell tacos with shredded chicken inside, they're very tasty. They actually season their food and it's reasonably priced.

You can taste the freshness and flavor. The machaca breakfast burrito was lit. So yummy!!! Clean place and friendly staff!

Full disclosure I'm loyal to the East Charleston location. BUT I just happened to be near the 24hour location so I went in. It clean, same great taste, same great menu.
I always get rolled tacos with cheese and guacamole (steak or chicken doesn't matter both are good.)
It passed the test. However if you get a chance eat at the East Charleston location. I love their caldo (ask for no bones) and menudo.
I would say the service at the East Charleston location is what I'm used to. I like seeing the same faces and having a good time catching up with staff when I can.
The South Maryland Parkway location is great. The set up us a little weird. The fountain soda machine is towards the back of the diner. Other than that same color scheme, same pickled veggie bar and same green salsa
Definitely give your business to this mom and pop chain. I recently moved to South Dakota and first time back, the only thing I had to do on my list was VIVA EL TACO...

This food is so bomb!!! Went in today at like 6am to pick up lunch and it was so damn good I ended up eating it before lunch. Definitely have a customer returning for sure! Got the taco meal and fried ice cream and oh man im going to have to control myself from always going here. The salsa was good too I love the green pretty hot good amount of meat on each taco. Can't wait to return for more!
