Great place to get tacos before midnight. Tuna tostada in particular is insanely good, with a tangy tamarind sauce that beautifully offsets sweet mango and high quality tuna

Great experience, came on a Sunday afternoon. Margaritas were only $5. Todd was working the entire restaurant by himself and kept up well. We shared beef fajitas and were quite good, generous portion of meat. Really cool atmosphere

We ended up having dinner at this place because there was a two hour wait at the restaurant we wanted to eat at. It was a Friday night and it was practically empty when we walked in. There was only two people seated at the bar and the baseball game was on full blast.

We sat down and the waitress came over right away. She brought us waters, chips & salsa, and the menus. We looked over the menu and settled on:

One queso fundido - to share
One order of barbacoa rolled tacos
One order of potato rolled tacos
One bowl with chicken tinga

The queso came out a few minutes later and it was lukewarm. It would've tasted much better had it been hot and it got cold right away. Both the chips and salsa were delicious and the waitress ended up giving us more without us even asking. My barbacoa rolled tacos were decent and they had plenty of meat. I didn't really care for the toppings that were thrown on top as they tasted sweet. My friends potato rolled tacos barely had any potato inside and she said it was as if she was just eating the tortillas with no flavor. My sister had a bowl with chicken tinga and she didn't really care for it.

By the time our food arrived, more people had walked in so it started to get busy. Our water cups sat empty for a while and then finally the waitress remembered about us and gave us refills. The décor is pretty unique and we had an ok experience. Not sure we would come back though.

Tacos decent, bartender suggested the steak which was definitely the best of what I got. Margarita was good. Fun vibe, and a decent happy hour (even if I wasn’t there for happy hour) would come back and try some other stuff

There were three maybe four tables in the whole restaurant. We got rushed for our order. Drinks came the same time as the food. The food was good. The server who brought our food asked if we needed anything, silverware, she brought us one fork. They didn't check on us until we were ready for a box and check. Don't waste your money here. They want to be the good Mexican food in Miami, but we aren't in Miami.

10/10 dining experience. Their house salsa is slightly sweet and has just a little heat. I will try to replicate it at home. All the tacos we tried were fantastic but the best were the birria and el rey tacos. The street corn cup was perfect.
