The shrimp tacos are so good here!!! It's a pretty chill environment right on ocean with bomb food and great drinks. If you're looking for a spot with good eats, strong drinks and a chill environment right in front of the beach then this is your spot.

Tacos were not worth the money, only thing we enjoyed were the drinks and that is because we were thirsty!

Delicious, fatty burgers and chicken. Service was pretty bad. But considering other factors....I get it

I just arrived home from a Girls weekend with 4 of my Best Friends and it was AWESOME!! What made my dining experience THE ABSOLUTE BEST one I have ever had tho was your waitress Sherrie who does the most PHENOMENAL job at what she does!!! She was the most patient and attentive person I have ever met....I mean hands DOWN you guys have a gem!! I will definitely come back to your restaurant when I visit again in November not only for your yummy food but because she made it pleasant and I will recommend her and the restaurant to all that i know!!!

So it's a week after hurricane Irma and my friend and I saw a homeless man on the beach in Miami he was hungry and this place had 99 cent tacos so after we went and ate at another restaurant we walked in this place just to buy this man a meal and they turned us away and refused to serve us THANK GOD FOR wait for it...... the " sister company " Sugar Factory where I explained the situation to Martin and he assisted by giving 3 plates of food and a bottle of water. I am happy I never been to this taco place and I'm happy I never will. ABSOLUTELY ATROCIOUS

Service was terrible and our waiter was rude. He didn't even care that he got our order wrong and our food was cold. When I asked to speak to a manager they said that he was not there. I won't be going back.

I have NEVER had service this terrible anywhere before. We tried to leave once being tricked by the happy hour special and ended up staying bc the host said he'd work out a deal.. our chips were stale the food wasn't cooked, weren't offered anything to drink, we didn't even get napkins or plates or anything. My table was a mess because I was forced to eat on it. I felt like an animal, the other guests felt the same and talked about the same things. NEVER AGAIN

Do yourself a favor and go to some of the other venues on South Beach; this place should be avoided. We wanted some Mexican fare without taking the car to Miami and went to the hostess who sat us down with a smile. We noticed immediately the tables were as sticky as the average movie theater floor. Within a minute the waitress stood next to our table without saying hi, just staring at us, so we asked for another minute. When she came back she still said nothing and didn't look us, so we just assumed we should pass our order. No thank you, no smile, not a single word. We then waited for a little more than 40 minutes for our food to arrive (inside there were no patrons, outside only 3 tables were taken). At no point did anyone come to us to explain why it was taking so long, and neither were we offered a refill for our sodas (which they sell for $4.50, I believe a refill would be acceptable then). We were served tortillas and burritos out of plastic baskets instead of on plates; the burritos were accompanied by rice and beans that came in a cardboard kind of box. This makes this restaurant a very expensive Taco Bell. We had to ask for silverware to our numb waitress, to which she brought 3 sets (we were a party of 4), so we had to call her back to bring a fourth. She did, threw it on the table and basically waved towards the person for whom it was intended. All in all the quality and taste of the food was just mediocre at best, and not worth its price. The fun only started then. We had to ask for our bill twice. For the very first time ever I did not pay a tip (they automatically include a stellar 20% to their bills, which in my opinion is really steep). I understand the use and necessity of tipping in American restaurants, but I also understand that it's a sort of fee for labor rendered. As our waitress did a terrible job (note she still hasn't spoken a single word to us up to this time) we didn't feel the need to pay for it. We paid for the food and applicable taxes and left. By the time we had reached the corner, she had run after us, yelling we didn't pay the whole bill. Explaining why we paid everything but left out their involuntary tip (I know, every restaurant in Miami Beach does it), she started yelling louder that it was "included" (people started looking, it was a very embarrassing ordeal. We still declined to pay her a tip, so she threatened to call the police to have us arrested. We replied her she should really just do that. It was only later that I read many other reviews of this restaurant where patrons had the exact same experience and that even police had been called and sided with the customers. If you feel like going for Mexican food go around the corner to Pepper's (on Washington), Bodega on 16th and Alton or Oh Mexico! on the corner of Washington and Espanola Way. If you're okay with paying a bit more and driving, definitely try Cantina La Veinte in Brickell.

Taco Tuesday or any day of the week, keep walking! This place is over priced with "ok" service and "ok" food/beverages. We went to this establishment and we will not be going back. $10.00 for draft beers and 3 terrible tacos for $15.00. Not at all what we expected. The service is nothing to write home about. With all that being said, very disappointed.

Food was below average I ordered a salad and half way through my meal began to get a stomach ache, my boyfriend ordered tacos and experienced the same feeling no good

WORST PLACE ON SOUTH BEACH. We ordered drinks and never saw our server again to order anything and it wasnt busy thats why we sat down. Also she gave us the wrong beer then proceeded to be nasty about it. When i asked for a manager she told me to go inside and get them myself. So after giving her our cards to pay she walked away and just started having a full 10 min conversation with the host, and extended the wait period after leaving our view for another 10 just to swipe one card. I cant even believe someone sucked that bad. What a joke of an establishment. Hopefully it shuts down soon so we can have something worth value there

There is something to be said about restaurants paying the high rents on this street in South Beach. It's also very competitive. You can tell they are passing these costs on directly to the consumer via their prices. Their food is better than most taco shops but simply not worth the price for sure. Their staff to get you in is very friendly and everyone is generally. However, your server will forget you. Not just our table had this problem but all the tables around us. I felt bad for a couple sitting at a table behind me that took 15 minutes to just get the menu. I would say overall pass and just pack a lunch. Their drinks are their saving grace which are extravagant and delicious.
