Altos has a happy hour 3-5, but no Taco Tuesday special. Street tacos ala carte are $3.50 and worth the price. Tortillas were fresh and supple, if not made in house. I had the carne asada, pastor, and chorizo. All were well-seasoned and tender, generously portions with fresh tasty topping. The house red and green salsas were flavorful and just hinting at pica. Service was good. Ambiance is just a touch noisy, but hey, it's a cantina. Recommended.

Quite disappointed. I was waiting at the bar. Not a busy evening and the bartender just ignored me to serve one of his friend who came in a few minutes after me. Also you spend 30-40 bucks and you will still be charged extra for even a small salsa. No thanks. There are many other options around. On vegetarian nachos they just put some corn and a few pickled jalapeños, melted in the microwave… for $17!!! the fish tacos were so incredibly mid and they cost nearly $8- Each! I do not recommend. The bits of salsa you see in the picture was the extra charge that we put on it.. still looking pretty sad.

Great chips and salsas to start—fresh and flavorful! We ordered a combo plate that included two carnitas street tacos served with beans, rice, greens, and fresh guacamole, as well as two enchiladas with verde sauce and an additional street taco. Everything was delicious and well-prepared. The setting was casual with seat-yourself dining, and the service was prompt and courteous throughout our visit. Definitely recommend for a satisfying and enjoyable meal!

Me and my boyfriend stopped by for some quick street tacos. They serve you complementary chips and salsa upon arrival. We ordered the al pastor, birria, asada, chicken tacos. They are pretty good if you want a quick bite at a good price too. We got the paloma drink, I do wish it was stronger but it was refreshing other the less.

Great little place! Glad to see this location with a successful local bar and eatery! The food was good! For the price it's very good! The margaritas were spot on perfect! Lots of TVs to watch the sporting events. We went in early afternoon so there wasn't a crowd but I've driven by on several occasions when they were parking on the street so I can only imagine how packed it was inside. We'll definitely be back!
