The happy hour $2 tacos are legit! I had the carnitas and they were tasty and good sized. Not those real small kind you get at some places. They even have a full bar and outdoor seating. I highly recommend stopping here, especially if you're starting the Trans Catalina Trail the next day!

AMAZING SERVICE! Happy hour they offer House margaritas which were good. They offer Gin & Juice by Snoop and Dr. Dre in 4 flavors. Pricing of drinks was reasonable for the portions.
The breakfast burrito was TERRIFIC!!!!! The size, flavor, and portions were perfect. Adding sausage and bacon to the burrito with the potatoes and eggs was everything. The French toast had a nice flavor to it as well.

Parking: Bikes and carts can be parked along side the front .

It's a cool little spot near the golf course. It feels more relaxed than some of the restaurants down in Avalon by the harbor. The happy hour tacos were pretty good for $2. The chorizo was the best

Exactly what I needed after a long swim and another great recommendation from the staff at Catalina Divers Supply, the $2 taco happy hour with $6 margaritas can’t be beat.

From the happy hour menu, I got the Carnitas & Chorizo tacos, which were both good. I also ordered the asada and fish tacos off the regular menu. The asada was tough, but had a generous helping of guacamole. The fish taco, while it was very shredded meat, I really liked the flavor and it wasn’t dry. The pico de gallo was very fresh and great on everything, the tortillas were soft and held their shape. I should’ve asked for hot sauce, but I just ate everything so quickly!

Next time I would go all in on the $2 carnitas taco happy hour, but I would get the fish taco again too. The margarita is strong for $6 and it felt like if I drank anymore than two, I would get denied boarding the ferry.

If you are looking for a strong drink and good happy hour, this is your place. If you are looking for Mexican food and like lots of onion, beans and hardly any meat, this is your place. This was not my place. Food was not good. Salsa and chips are about all that was edible.
