Delicious, fresh tacos that we really enjoyed. They were friendly and our food came out quickly. Would come back if in the area again.
Upon entering with a friend we weren't greeted and saw the only cashier on the phone with a customer. Stood there awkwardly for a couple minutes. She then hung up and actually turned around and left without greeting us. Then finally another girl came out to take our order. I ordered 2 of the veggie tacos and added guac (something they should come with). The cashier quickly forgot to give me the drink I ordered as well and I had to remind her. Cashiers were very young and inexperienced. We sat at the bar because that was the only available seating area. The restaurant has an open bar Miami feel to it which was the best thing about the place. We didn't order margaritas as the tacos were expensive enough, 2 for $15 and they were the smallest tacos I've ever seen. The veggie tacos came with this huge flower thing on top which was edible to an extent but there was simply too much of it. The tacos were tiny and gone in 2 minutes. The service at the bar was better than the check-in experience by far. I had originally filled a water cup at the drink despenser but the bartender offered to fill up my water with that little hose thing they have which was a nice gesture. Conclusion: not worth the price for the small portions you get and the lack of seating. Nice idea but simply isn't worth it.
So much fun and the wait staff is wonderful!!
The global fusion makes the menu more fun than the average taco place. The dog friendly covered patio (which has heaters when it is chilly) has a great vibe. Proximity to the beach makes it perfect for pre or post beach grub. The Happy Hour is on point (may I suggest the Dole Whip Mai Tai - YUM).
Where's the BEEF!
Tortillas take center stage. Corn tortillas made fresh to order, flower tortillas just as good. Had multiple green curry shrimp and Baja fish. My 11 year old said it was the best tacos he’d ever had and he only eats pizza and burgers definitely coming back. Great service and location.
My husband brought me in for a late Mother’s Day lunch, and we had such a great experience! We sat at the bar and were warmly welcomed by the bartender, Osheana. Her personality and energy were amazing—she truly made the visit memorable. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Worst tacos I've ever had and overpriced to boot. Came here to try ot out and very regretful. Pastor tacos tasted weird , and steak was over salted but not tasty. Never coming here again , rather go to a roach coach. Should have known better
Still the best price for a Baja fish taco!! Thanks!

Love this place. I have to admit I ate here two days in a row. I was telling my parents how great it was so They came with me the next day. It happened to be Veterans Day and my dad is a veteran and the staff went out of their way for him. By far, the best tacos around. The menu is So creative, so unique. It is also dog friendly. They have great beers on tap.

This pains me because I’ve been such a happy customer for so long. Tonight I went there with some relatives. The website said closing was at nine and at 8 o’clock they were loudly sweeping and blocking the bathroom and barstools were stacked. They said they had changed to their winter hours, but they weren’t posted online and told us that we could stay, but with no service and paper cups. I’m sorry, but you should honor what your website says. And provide better service than that. I was extremely disappointed!!
