The girl at the counter wasn't having a great day because she was very unpleasant. We were riding our bikes along the coast and wanted a snack so we ordered guacamole and chips along with a beer and Bucha. The guac was good as were the chips. We Sat on the patio and enjoyed the rest. The restaurant needs some love. The cleanliness is lacking and it needs a refresher overall.

This is one of my favorite taco places in all of north county. The tacos are filling and flavorful, the staff is friendly and always happy to offer a suggestion on a new option to try, and the patio is friendly to dogs! My go-to place to bring out of town guests. Would highly recommend!!

My favorite restaurant ever! I’ve lived in Encinitas all my life and have tried so many places and this is for sure #1. The shrimp enchilada taco is so so good. Staff is super nice and service is fast. Pet friendly and awesome atmosphere.
