Food was really good and it was a cute vibey place but the waiter was really rude and when an hour and a half before closed when we asked for another drink he said “we’re trying to wrap it up early” and layed the check down and walked off. Disappointing because we thought we had found a new go to spot.

They’re usually really good, but I was really disappointed in the huevos rancheros. They burned the egg and everything just tastes bad with a dry, crispy egg on it.

A really nice restaurant in Tuscaloosa. The street corn and guacamole are favorites there. Pretty good happy hour, but the margaritas are a tad small for me. However, the food is the attraction and it doesn't disappoint. One issue is they MAY add some idiotic liquor tax. Tell them to delete it. It's bogus!

Great spot for dinner. The happy hour is a good time to try the frozen avocado margarita!! I've never heard of such a thing. They might have started it here. It is so good!!! It's like an avocado smoothie. Would be healthy, but there's the tequila.... Every now & then. Treat yourself! It's the only place that has it. Aside from the avocado in my margarita, the shrimp tacos are really good!! For dessert I had a tres leche cake so yummy. Good vibes, chill & relaxing atmosphere. Great service. Our favorite spot for tacos, burritos, etc... when in T-town.

I greatly enjoyed my dinner here this past weekend! We originally tried calling ahead to make a reservation on a Saturday, but found out they do not do reservations for parties less than 10. This was perfectly fine with us, we just got to the restaurant earlier than originally planned since dinner wait times for a Saturday here can range from 20-45 minutes. Do not let this deter you though, the food is worth it. Luckily for us, we only waited about 15 minutes for a table for 4. Once seated, our waitress soon followed with menus and a pitcher of water. She was quite lovely and attentive. To start, we ordered their chips and salsa (although I do highly recommend the street corn if you are feeling something different). The salsa is great and tasted fresh! The chips had a nice texture, but definitely needed the salt we added to the bowl. It did not take long for any of our meals to come out once we ordered. I personally got the carnitas tostadas, which were amazing. I could only eat one cause they were piled high with toppings (and I ate too many chips before). The pork had great flavor and paired well with the other toppings. Warning though, the black beans here are great, but on the spicier side! This caught one of us by surprise at the table. Overall it was a great evening, and we were in and out quickly from the meal. Just be prepared to wait a little for dinner, and plan ahead for parking! And watch out for those beans!

Food is great. Feels a little expensive for the town. Cocktails are really great.

This is contemporary Mexican food. The vibes are great, but the food is severely lacking. Especially if you're looking for authentic Mexican food. It seemed like they only had one waiter working, so it took forever to get our orders taken, we didn't get refills the entire time, and it took forever to get our bill. We were done eating for about 20 minutes before we got the bill, and the waiter never came close enough for us to flag him down.
They charge you for EVERYTHING and i mean EVERYTHING the Fajita nachos don’t come with fajita the chicken enchiladas you have to pay for the enchiladas normal price then pay for the chicken as well after that horrible experience. but the inside was clean and

Excellent food, excellent service, and fantastic atmosphere. I had been told good things, but they didn't do the place justice. Had the steak machete and the mix of flavors was exquisite. We will definitely be
