This was my sister's and my first time at the Kensington location, and it's tucked right underneath Hexagon Café, which worked out perfectly since that's where we were headed afterward. The ambience was great. It is loud, but it was a Friday night, so that was to be expected. The food was really good. We had the guacamole and chips and the queso and chips,both were honestly five stars. We also tried the happy hour tacos. We got the beef and pork. I'm not gonna lie, this feels like a recurring theme for me lately at a lot of places, the tacos themselves tend to be under seasoned, so they were a bit lackluster flavor wise. BUT. What absolutely made the experience was the bartender. There is an absolute smoke show of a man who works there. I think his name is Steven. Tall, tattooed, upper-lip stache,the whole situation. My sister and I were feeling this man. I really wish he had brought our food out because I would have loved the opportunity to tell him how sexy he was, but I did ask a waitress later if he was single and, unfortunately, he does have a girlfriend. Tragic. Boo. That said, I would absolutely go back just to see him again. If he wanted to serve me my non-alcoholic beverage, I would be extremely grateful. So overall? 10/10 for the place. And if your name is Steven, you're the bartender with the stache, and you're looking fine as hell. God truly blessed you, and He also blessed my eyes by letting me witness that.
Nice place to hang out with friends

The shrimp tacos were fresh and super yummy - if you are in the mood for something spicy, try the Diablo Shrimp Tacos ... with the chips and dips.
Everything was great from our service the food. Food was very delicious and just the right amount. The sound level was a bit loud for our preference but we could still have a conversation. Our server was very attentive, gave inciteful recommendations and was patient when we used several GC's to pay. Made our date night very relaxed and enjoyable. Would return again.

We had food here and one of the servers with red hair, and we’re not being mean but I tangibly forgot her name. She was flirting with my boyfriend and this doesn’t come out with insecurity we just thought it was unprofessional. Overall nice but inappropriate.

I had a very good burrito here tonight. My only disappointment was the blue lagoons no longer come with the blue shark. That was the whole reason why I came out tonight, but the food was fantastic
We also had a fantastic server whose name is Isaac! Great server and kept us happy the whole time

Went for happy hour- the tacos and margaritas were a great price and delicious! They also had a lot of options for my friend who can't have dairy which was nice we could both have the same menu items. Will be going back!
