Quite good! I had the steak tacodilla and a carnitas taco with crunch shell! Both were quite tasty and delicious! Couldn’t eat another bite (probably because I filled up on their chips first - which were also great)! Wife had the walking taco (which was also great - I had two bites) and a tacodilla!Will definitely return!

Loved the cacti in the front window, which drew us into the place to grab some food while walking along the boardwalk. ? The tacos were great! And the Hank Sauce hot sauce was also my favorite. ?❤️

It was a little expensive and the food was okay. The food came rather quickly so that was a plus. It was pretty hot in the restaurant. I had the cheese quesadilla and it was pretty good but I've had better. The salsa was not good but the sour cream was decent. The music was also a little loud but they played good songs.

Tbh this is the worst food ever, i went yesterday (july29) I got poisoning food had a terrible night bc of they food. There’s a bunch of teenagers cooking, nothing wrong with kids working but I don’t think they are capable of working in the kitchen, I spent $58 for 2 order of steak tacos, chips and queso (SUPER SALTY) and 2 sodas, that’s insane. Definitely will never recommended or coming back. Terrible experience

The food is very good. Portions are small for the price, but I was completely okay paying a premium for good food on the boardwalk understanding their overhead costs must be quite high.That is, until I got my bill and noticed I was charged $4.50 for ice water. Not bottled water—TAP WATER! When I politely asked to speak with the manager about it, I was told, “it’s the boardwalk…” That’s BS! While we’re down in OC we always eat dinner on the boardwalk and I always get a cup of water along with my soda and not once have I ever been charged for tap water. I’d gladly pay $4.50 for a bottle of water. On pure principle, it’s absolutely poor business practice and it’s taking advantage of your customers.So, that being said there’s zero chance we’ll be eating here again. And that’s unfortunate because we were so happy to have finally found an option besides pizza and sandwiches on the boardwalk.

This used to be our go-to restaurant whenever we arrived in Ocean City. For the first time, the food didn’t even taste good. So disappointing! We had to go get some ice cream to get rid of the taste of the tacos.

I don't usually review, but this place is AWESOME!! I got a taco bowl for 13 dollars, it was plentiful and had so many delicious flavors. Everything was seasoned to perfection, and of course had that Mexican kick! I also got this order within ~7 minutes, so very fast!! the cashier was very approachable and nice too! HIGHLY recommended!

This was from July 1022. We originally went to the other location on the boardwalk. We sat there for 5 minutes without any acknowledgment that we were there, so we left. This location wasn't as busy and we took a seat at the counter. The staff was in a little disarray but they took our order and the food showed up in a timely fashion. We had fish tacos and a side of beans. Both were just ok, the hot sauce helped with the flavor. Overall, we gave it a C. Nothing special for a big price tag.

I feel like people who say the food her is amazing has never actually eaten authentic Mexican food or tacos. Everything was like cafeteria food, ground beef was minced and used scarcely, pre-shredded lettuce, no cilantro or limes with anything. Everything needed salt in the worst way. The dip loco was like mushy dogfood with some salad on top. Im sorry to sound mean but the food is really low quality and absolutely not worth the price.

Best tacos and quesadillas on the boardwalk. We went to their 10th street location and the food was amazing! The owner even gave us some free churros because we were the only ones here. I would come here every single day if it wasn’t just a vacation spot for me.

Food was very good. Be aware you have to order up front and wait for your food to be brought out. This was kind of a turn off when you spend a c note for 4 people to have tacos and soda. But the food was very good.

Went at 6:30 pm when they were slowing down. Totally forgot our order and fed everyone who came I'm after us. It wasn't until I said something that we got served 3 soft shell beef tacos and nachos. They were fresh but I prefer taco bell. Over $35 for two; again higher prices than the last two years bc of #bidensinflation!

Vegetarian options: All I saw was veggie tacos with no meat. Not sure what in it since I'm not a vegetarian.

I stopped here to get a quesadilla for my daughter. I read the reviews and figured id check it out myself. 1. The cashier was great very pleasant and kept eye contact when speaking to me. 2. I watched as they prepared food and there appears to be a decent system in place and all the food they were making looked very good 3. Patience is a virtue... There was a little wait however they were making other orders before mine. Overall is was a good experience not sure what all the low star reviews are about....

Great food. Great staff. If I lived locally, I'd definitely come here all the time. Everything on the menu is delicious and the new churros are light and fluffy. Easy 5 star restaurant, hands down

Probably the worst Mexican food I ate. Chips were stale and cooked in old oil (they were almost tasting bitter). Burrito bowl was cold and just had no flavors to it. When asked for extra tortillas they were served cold. The guacamole was almost raw. This place is expensive and I expected quality. I would avoid this place on the boardwalk and rather grab a pizza right next door
