Anytime I'm in the area I have to stop by. Everything tastes very fresh and more authentic. Their queso is my favorite I've had

Much better than chipotle. They always give you the full amount and the food tastes fresher

I loved illegal Pete's in Boulder, so I was excited to see one here too! But oh my goodness, do they not have air conditioning? I could barely eat my food with how uncomfortable I was inside. Definitely a terrible environment for hot food.

Some of the best Baja style fish tacos in the world

I’ve been eating fish tacos since I was a kid in Baja Mexico off food carts in Ensenada, San Felipe, Rosarito Beach, Cabo, La Paz, Guadalupe Valley and believe me these are some of the best.

Friendly staff, clean and vibrant atmosphere.

This will be a weekly indulgence for months! It’s also cheap at $10.99 some of the best food for less than McDonald’s.

Changed their queso sizes but kept the same price in the last six months ✨shrinkflation✨

The vibe here is similar to that of a chipotle, but with a more open floor setup and a full bar! Mondays are the day to come, since they have $3 Margaritas all day! I was in from out of town, and these double pour margaritas really made our night. The bartender was super sweet and answered our recommendation questions with ease. We will be back again!!

I came here with family after visiting the Desert Botanical Garden. 2 of us got fish tacos. They were good. However, they were in flower tortilla. The tortilla fell apart immediately, so they really couldn't be eaten like a taco. My sister complained and received a $15 gift card. The manager suggested that you ask for double flower or corn tortillas. My wife had carnitas tacos and really liked them on corn tortilla. Someone else had a chicken quesadilla, no complaints. There salsas were good, just ask for more.They have a nice patio right on Mill Ave.

The restaurant was a mess. No one was bussing tables, so we sat at the bar, which was also a mess. When I asked the bartender (shaggy long brown haired dude) to wipe it down, he plopped a dirty, wet rag in front of me, as if to imply it was my responsibility to wipe down his bar. I used clean napkins, and the rag remained where he placed it until we were done. Needless to say, we did not order a second round from this rude bartender. The food was tasty but very greasy. Grease was dripping off of the quesadilla, and the tacos had to be eaten with a fork because the shell was soggy and fell apart as soon as you picked it up.

I have been ordering from this place every weekend for months now and I absolutely love their food. It is much better than Chipotle in my opinion and cheaper. My only complaint is for the last couple weeks this place has been unavailable on weekends on Doordash and Ubereats. Really hope they fix this.
