Turn It Up Tuesdays. A very nice spin on taco tuesdays. Delicious and most definitely authentic with all the accoutrements! Friendly and professional staff. Intimate both inside and out; bonus hidden bar. Lots of parking and nicely priced! Mahalo!

The food was great, I enjoyed my birria tacos but the margaritas were very very watered down and had just mix flavoring. It was a small place which is okay but it would be nice if the waitresses spoke up a little bit lol. We also got charged way more than we ordered but the lady was nice enough to fix it! Not to shabby.
