Came here on a Tuesday night with a reservation and it was super fast to get seated!Good:- Unique dishes and takes on things - had a super pretty guac and chips $16 was too much to pay for it though, the chips were super oily and fried which I did like though- I liked the spinach enchilada, but the initial taste is a little pungent and not super appetizing, the more you eat the tastier it gets!- The overall vibe was nice for a friend catchup! The food tastes more healthy than others.Bad:- Super pricey - spent about $40 a person for a simple appetizer and 1 entree.Overall this place was good, but due to price, I probably won't go again.

Tacos were mediocre at best! Service was very poor! I asked if they had pastor tacos and I was told they had cochinita which according to them was similar. Being Mexican I know this is not true! The check was brought to me before I even had finished my food, while there was no need for this because the restaurant was empty. I was charged using an electronic device and the minimum tip option was set to 18%. I think it is important to leave generous tips, I just don’t think it is a good experience to have the minimum option be so high! Feels like I was being forced to tip a high amount regardless of the quality of the service!

Absolutely amazing food and service! Delish tacos and great selection of cocktails, tequila and beer! Everything on the menu is great, reasonably priced and exceptional service with recommendations. Easy walking distance from San Francisco Caltrain / 4th & King, Hotels, Oracle Park in the Mission Bay Area. Would highly recommend!

10 dollars for a lil taco is crazy. The tacos don't even taste good cuz they don't season their meat enough. The waiter was nice and the restaurant looks cool, but I would not recommend.

Great, prompt service. Loved the decor. Lot's of taco options. Ordered the Burrito and Quesadilla. Both are big enough to share. Both of these were incredibly delicious. Also the chips and salsa were very good. Super fair prices too. Check this place out!

Their chips are real greesy and you have to pay for then. Their tacos have a ton of meat so only get 1 or 2. Recommend the shrimp taco and dirty girl taco.

While the service is good, & the drinks were ok - the food was bad; especially given how expensive it was.The chipotle queso was like spackling. The tacos were not great and $10 each… generally all of the tortillas were bad and some of the rice was hard. We couldn’t finish the meal because we were put off.

Great tacos & Burritos! We ordered cod, shrimp, spicy fried chicken, pork belly & steak 5-taco. I like spicy fried chicken and pork belly. Pull pork burrito is also delicious!

I rarely if ever go out of my way to give bad/low reviews since most of the time they are average at best. However, do not let the picture fool you, I am surprised how they made something have so much and so little taste at the same time.My taste buds were confused because though there was a seemingly plentiful amount of flavor profiles at play, from the carne asada to the guacamole to the cilantro and everything in between, there was a plentiful amount of nothing. I don't know if I've experienced this before.Outside of that the atmosphere was fantastic, very friendly staff that are attentive to you during your time. I cannot say anything about their cocktail selection.

My Dad was having a procedure yesterday at UCSF. I hadn’t eaten all day so my Mom & I popped in to have a light lunch. 1st ordered the “chipotle queso and then the chicken. Cross the Ross the road taco.i got my taco before the appetizer.The queso for a whopping $17 was not spicy at all and the portion to price ratio ridiculous! The chips had frease coming out of them.Don’t think I will eat there again.

Great tacos and choices. The KFC taco is not traditional but spicy and delicious. They were also understaffed and super busy and served us free drinks to make up for the wait. Amazing staff

Calvin Hosey

The tacos are sneaky big. Don't order four like I did unless you're ready to commit. They're all delicious. The green salsa is spicy.

Amazing drinks which are made to perfection. The tacos are incredible. So full of flavor. Just delicious!!! The corn and queso appetizers were the best I’ve ever had. I can’t wait to come back!
