Doesn't look like much from the outside or inside but don't let looks fool you. This place is in the middle of the Triangle aka Rush Street area and comes in very handy for late night arrivals when most other places are closed. I got the combo with a margarita, fish and shrimp tacos along with chips and queso. Not many places to sit and bar drunks sometimes come in. Not really an issue for me. The food was awesome and the bill was what one drink costs at most places around here ($20). If you want good street tacos and affordable prices, go here!

$6.25 for a steak taco when the corn tortillas are not cooked long enough doesn't justify the high price anymore.

1st time there and everyone loved the food. The upstairs seating space was accommodating to our group of 12 with no issue. Service was easy and cordial. If in the area again, I'd want to go back.

I visited after reading the glowing reviews and ordered beef tacos and a sangria. The place wasn’t busy, but the tortillas on all my tacos were cold and breaking apart. I had one reheated, but the rest were the same, and I mostly ended up eating just the protein. For almost $50 on seven tacos, it was frustrating.

The manager was kind, brought a better-made taco, and even offered dessert, but the overall experience just wasn’t enjoyable. The food feels more like a “Chipotle-style” taco setup, which might work if you’re coming in after drinks—but stay away if you’re sober and actually want to enjoy your meal. Friendly service, but the cold tortillas were a dealbreaker for me.

A fun food stop serving seriously tasty tacos. The seafood tacos was delicious and the cheese dip with chips was addictive. Simple food done very, very well and served with a smile.

Family recommended this place. The food was amazing. My husband loved the cauliflower tacos. The staff was friendly, smiling and having a great time but the place did have a smell. It wasn’t a great smell but all in all the food was great.
