Had brunch here today. We ordered chilaquiles, fried chicken burrito, kids quesadillas & chips & salsa. Also had fresh squeezed OJ and everything was super delicious. The salsas were not spicy, but super flavorful and fresh. Will definitely be going back!

Super cute spot with a great lunch special. We enjoyed several different tacos, all of which were very good. We also loved the jalapeno margarita. The staff was very friendly and attentive. A great spot for a good bite.

Cute Lil spot with really good food. It was fresh and delicious. The server brought out a meat filled taco instead of black bean on accident and she threw in a side of fresh guac and chips for me to munch on. Very kind staff. Atmosphere was a very chill, low key vibe with a nice bar area. The price was great also. Got a taco and a burrito bowl for the low
