Found a hidden gem in Novena, the food is great here:)

Chanced upon this small restaurant when we were around Novena area. This hole-in-the-wall restaurant serves up amazing Mexican food. I found their quesadilla and nachos more amazing than their tacos. Will definitely be back for more!

Love it when they provide a variety of Mexican sauces for you to try. Really adds to the whole experience.

P.s try the ghost pepper sauce for the extra kick... if you dare 😛

Spicy and slightly tangy, just the way I like it. The pork belly was admittedly not as juicy/tender as I wanted it to be but I can’t complain, 3 tacos for $8?? The pork pastor tacos ($7.50 and not pictured) were good too. Even better the next day after all the flavours have sat overnight.

Appreciate how affordable this is compared to other Mexican restaurants. A great place to satisfy my Mexican food cravings without breaking the bank. Too bad its located in a very very small shop lot so dine in is pretty challenging, and it’s a little far!

Tender beef tongue served in tacos. This one didn’t have much flavour compared to its counterparts like the pork belly and pastor. Probably wouldn’t get it again.

Cheap(er) tacos in sg that is saucy - could do with less sauce imo - with generous amount of meat. Both had pulled meat so the tacos tasted quite similar except the pork was spicy while the chicken was sweet - should have picked fried fish or diced meat. Not wowed but decent for the price I guess.
