Went here for dinner with a girlfriend and had the corona beer battered white fish taco dinner that came with 3 tacos, rice and beans. I also enjoyed a hibiscus margarita. I was expecting tiny 2-3 bite street tacos but these were huge! The tacos themselves were street size but the toppings went crazy. A lot more than I was expecting! They were delicious and so filling that I could not finish the rice and beans. Definitely recommend!

First time there. We ate outside. Atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. Jessica made us feel comfortable and special. Food was phenomenal with very very reasonable prices. Will definitely be going back.

First and last time going here...sopes are tiny not worth 13.00. Churros were way too hard for being "house made". Tacos even if tortillas were handmade is not worth 5.00-5.50 each. For a "Mexican" spot I didn't see anyone who was Mexican working.
