This place had a large Tequila selection, and a variety of mixed drinks. Small inside with booth or bar seating, table seating was outside. Tacos tasted great, I had Steak, Shrimp, and Pastor. Thet don't offer the common dinner plate with rice and beans. Just the tacos. Also offer different bowl options. For a light dinner, I would recommend this place.

Absolutely delicious food! Creative combinations of dishes + it just feels like "home". I absolutely adore how they do not fry their foods in seed oils. I was finally able to go out to dinner for my birthday without having terrible time after eating. Healthy, clean, flavorful!

Dietary restrictions: They do not use seed oils!!

Been wanting to try this place for awhile now. Was happy to know they use lard instead of seed oils for their fryers and use olive oil for salsa. Food was pretty good quality. The portion sizes were a bit smaller than I would have liked. The grande burrito I got wasn’t too grande unfortunately so I had to get 2 tacos afterwards. Also there was barely any carne asada on my burrito. Couldn’t have been more than 3oz of steak . Chicken and Korean bbq tacos were good as well.
