Delicous flautas - love their sauce. The guac was a little salty but the chicken fajitas quesadillas are a must.

The atmosphere of the bar was AWESOME. Everyone was very friendly including our waitress.
So why 2 stars? It was the quality of the food. For started we ordered the Queso dip with Chorizo. That was fantastic delicious. Our drinks arrived they were nice and strong.
When our main courses came out we were ready to dig in. From the website I really wanted to try the Chile Crusted Fries and they are just normal fries sprinkled with something, not what I imagine when you say crusted. The Bacon wrapped hotdog. My whole plate was cold fries even bacon around hotdog had cooled down. So more than likely my plate sat for awhile before being delivered.
Then I decided to move on from my main course because we ordered some Tacos as well. Have to try some of them. The beef tacos meat was so BLAND. It was like no seasoning was added at all. I did not finish a majority of the food I ordered.
The drinks and the vibe were the Star attraction for this visit.

Only "mild" hot sauce?
Great atmosphere and margaritas. However, the food just lacked the flavor or spice of Mexico. None of our salsa or guacamole would even classify as mild flavor one could expect from a few dashes of even black pepper.
Our fajita quesadilla tastes like it was tamed for a bland Midwestern palette that can't tolerate black pepper. We tried adding the "hot" sauce provided on the table, but guess what. I could only go from bland to mild. 🤣🤣🤣
Why? Well, the "hot sauce" on the table is mild. 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Our waitress never brought us the hot sauce we requested, but I doubt they had any.
I wouldn't choose this place for Mexican food, but might stop for a margarita.

Went here with my family after a night out about 45 minutes until this place closed on a Saturday, but still had great experience. Our waitress, Jocelyn, was very sweet and prompt with our appetizers and drinks. We got the guac (which is always good), the street corn dip (our #1 favorite), and a plate of nachos of which we asked for some modifications and they definitely did not disappoint especially with portions. We left perfectly satisfied with still 10 minutes to spare. Always love coming here!

I love this place. The tacos are all fantastic. They changed the name, but the food is still great.
Carne Asada- this is my favorite. Love the steak and all the toppings.
Mexican Street Corn Fritters- these are like corn filled arancini. Very tasty.
Pork Carnitas- very good. Love the taco and they really pile on the pico and pickled onions.

Great tacos! I was excited to try the lobster tacos but boy... the regular crunchy tacos were IT. I like lobster and all but... yeah. The classic is where it's at!

Really great taco place they have lots of options. I really enjoyed the mango habanero taco. I also tried the portobello taco and that was delicious as well. This is a good place. If you’re just wanting some simple tacos having some nice conversations or meetings and it’s also a beautiful historical district and also the atmosphere in the restaurant was clean and very welcoming.
