“Everything we ate was absolutely delicious. We were very eager to come try this boulder location, it did not disappoint. The sweet potato is reasonably to come all on its own. We also had the agua chile, the coconut ceviche which is what dreams are made from, the pork and ribeye tacos.

My only critique is that tequila list is not made to be read in a dilly lit restaurant 😆“

We got the Punch Out Nacho Bar and an order of the Veggie Flautas for about 30 people and there was more than enough that we’re enjoying nachos for a few dinners this week!

Thank you for the amazing food (as always) and for making our baby shower a hit :)“

“This family owned and operated restaurant is a must visit. The food is so tasty and flavorful. Using organic corn, they hand make their own masa. It really pays of in the flavor or their tacos, gorditas, and quesadillas. The veggies are locally sourced. The meat is roasted and cooked to perfection. The prices are also very affordable! At the time of this review, they did not have their liquor license, but we were allowed to bring in our own beer, which we brought in from a local brewery. The goal is to have margaritas and more once they get their license. I highly recommend this place, for lunch or dinner, for a date or for the family. I will be sure to return. *No photos of food because we ate it too fast, but it was super yummy! We tried the chips and guacamole, the burrito with barbacoa, and and combination plate. Even the rice and beans sides were delicious!“

My personal highlight was the fish tacos; they were incredibly delicious and remarkably fresh, truly a standout dish. Our waiter was exceptionally friendly and attentive, further enhancing our dining experience. The overall quality of the food was simply amazing.

I would enthusiastically give this restaurant a perfect 10 out of 10 and wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience. I am already looking forward to my next visit!“
