I absolutely LOVE Raymond's Tacos. This location has always been my favorite. Staff is fun, patient, and courteous. This was my first time trying their breakfast and I must say, I will be having it again. Get you some

Very patient gentleman!!! They made my order ready pretty quickly and even gave recommendations I had the cheese burger and taco de al pastor (slow cooked pork that's covered in spices) I typically only order these from places that smell fantastic, I was just walking in the area and stopped by. I ate the taco in my car because I was starving worth it lol
