Went there last week. Wonderful tacos. I would recommend the chips and salsa/guac/queso appetizer. A great sampling of the different tastes. It's a little pricey, but we will be back.

If you are looking for something unique and fun, Taco Gato is a fabulous choice.

Their menu is full of playful recipes that all sound delicious. They have a wide selection of tequilas.

Overall, dining was a pleasant experience, but don't go in looking for a super-traditional Mexican meal.

We got a pitcher of margaritas. Was very good. Our meals and our appetizers were really salty. I was able to eat mine and we ate most of the appetizer but my partner couldn't eat much of hers and I tasted it and don't know why a salad should be that salty. Waitress took two dollars off... Probably wont go back except for drinks maybe.
