Really terrible staff. They delivered my order to someone else so while everyone ate dinner I had no food to eat. They finally brought it out 30 minutes late and still charged me in full!!! Do not waste your money here.

Known about this place and passed it many a time. But needless to say this visit was long overdue

Came in after doing some beach swimming and walked in. Only me and another guy chilling eating at the bar. Greeted by the cool dude behind the counted and got seated right away.

Ordered baja tacos with bison and while I waited had some chips and salsa with a Shirley temple

I gotta say first off. This salsa. Is legit. This coming from someone who grew up eating homemade Mexican food with my grandparents and my mom. I definitely say this could easily pass as authentic made in Mexico salsa

The tacos. The meat, savory, a little crunchy with some slight burnt ends. That's OK. Personally I wouldn't have any other way, it adds texture, and idk what kinda sauce they used on the tacos but it legit gave me some runny sniffles. It caught me WAY off guard lol

Idk why I thought they wouldn't be spicy cause it's not like a typical Mexican restaurant I've been to. But it definitely is worth a try. Highly recommend

THE ONLY thing I'd give a heads up about is the price and value for 4 tacos and the chips + drink was 25$ whether you think that's good or bad is up to you. But for the quality of what I got. It's not that bad imo

Great food. I had the veggie tacos. They are street food style, so you get 2 tortillas in 1 taco. I didn't realize this and ordered 2 tacos and ended up taking one home. The sweet potato fries are excellent.

Good food and service, but prices have increased 30-40% over the past few years, causing us to change our habit from attending weekly to approximately attended every 2 months.

This restarant is right on the steet with a window facing the sidewalk. They do not respect the right of citizens to film on a public sidewalk.

The Paloma was missing a bit of sweetness that would give it more dimension.The carnitas street tacos were good.The chicken taco was well cooked and very tender, but lacked any sauce or flavor. When paired with just pico de Gallo, it was rather plain.

For a Saturday night at 5pm it was kinda slow. I'm not complaining becuz we got our food on time and we're taken care of. But I was surprised it was busier. We wanted to just snack so we got guacamole and Mac n cheese. The guacamole wasn't the greatest so we mixed it with the salsa lolz. But the cheese in the Mac n cheese was AMAZING. I would come here again fosho
