I came here Feb. 20th. Need to hire a new person in front the lady was so rude to us , rushed us to get our order and when my husband and I was trying for order she had a very passive aggressive attitude and kept saying “What I can’t hear you I’m sorry?!?!” And continued talking in the most sassy high maka maka tone. Just a thought maybe turn down the high blasting music and you could hear what the customers are trying to order?. also noticed the lady yelled at other customers as well so unfriendly. After the terrible sassy attitude she gave us , waiting an hour for our “Two classic tacos” she got our order wrong and only served us ONE taco. Right because we just repeated the word “ classic tacos” TWICE for fun you should always go over the customers order instead of rushing them..After the long wait for those tacos, it was not even worth it. It was so basic ingredients from big save that I could’ve made it much better at home. $35 wasted on two small BLAND tacos. I was so ready to give her a tip in the beginning because I saw she was rushing & all over the place as I also work in food industry so I know how stressful it can be but omg she does not know how to work well under pressure. relax no need for the uptight sassy passive aggressive attitude when we were talking nice to her. Such bad service. Atmosphere overstimulating with the loud music and rude tudes. Food was so junk& below mid never even have meat just beans instead. And honestly after getting my order wrong with no apologies and all I got was a “what?!? I only charged you for one taco” again sassy high maka maka attitude after all that and having to drive allll the way back wasting my time & gas bc of a mistake the worker made…she could’ve given it to me for free or at least discount! Never coming back here lol. And I suggest you don’t either unless you want your time and money wasted.💯

My husband and I loved this place and are still thinking about it! We had the ahi tacos and the Mahi tacos cajun style. They came with delicious home made chips and salsa. The tacos are loaded to the rim and absolutely satisfying!!

Honestly I wasnt expecting much, but this little shop on the side of the road was a delight. Friendly staff, great food which was freshly cooked and full of flavour. My partner had the pork burrito and I had the tofu taco. Very full and happy humans.

Trust the 1 star reviews. We ordered three flavors of tacos (papaya shrimp, ahi, and pork) and all were frankly disgusting to the point of being inedible. Terrible taste, soggy texture, horrible flavors. Never had food quite so bad before. Literally could not force ourselves to eat it.

Husband is from So Cal came here for the fish tacos and homemade tortillas— trust the 1 star reviews. Genuinely dont know how this place has above 3 stars. Waste of money.

We were looking for something quick and easy and this place was that and so much more. Very simple but really great pork taco and ahi taco. I’d drive a long way to go back there again!

Wife and I ordered beef enchiladas and a teriyaki chicken taco. The enchiladas didn’t have hardly any meat and was generally flavorless. The teri chicken taco was simply bad, it was some form of soy sauce slathered on questionable chicken and cabbage, we didn’t finish eating it. Waste of money. I’d look elsewhere.

Tacos are made fresh to order with homemade tortillas and chips and salsa. One of the best Fish tacos I've ever had. The Cajun Mahi was excellent.
