“Came by for Sunday brunch. Welcomed and seated by a hostess at the bar with a smile. I recognized the bartender/ server - Diego, from my past visit and so did he. A friendly guy with smiles who walked me thru his fav’s - which I asked for. I thoroughly enjoyed my mocktail, Tiradito de Tuna, shrimp ceviche, corn ribs, fish tacos and Tres leches…😋🫶‼️Great energy in the room with live DJ. This place wins for its “presentation” of any dish with flavors! Great food and friendly staff. This is my nth visit and will frequent it. Ty for making my day off…😉😋👏🫶‼️“

“We had a great time at this location. The atmosphere was cool, the music wasn’t loud, the waiter were busy. For appetizers we had the “CORN ESQUITES” and it was delicious. For our meal we had a feast of food. We try different types of tacos (AL PASTOR, BAJA CRISPY FISH, BEEF RIBEYE DELUXE” and their burritos and it was great! The price of the tacos were steep, I ain’t going to lie. Also if you like American style tacos with lots of cheese and sauces, then these might not be the tacos for you. The alcoholic drink were good! The “Mexican” soda in the bottle was flat for us.

Street parking in this area is not the best.

The food was great.“

“The food here is deliciously authentic. I love the cozy yet lively vibe that the colorful artwork and decor bring.
I came for Taco Tuesday and was not disappointed. For those who are vegetarian, this is one of the few places I know with sooo many options and varieties for tacos. I cannot wait to try them all. They also have wonderful jugos frescos. I had the tamarind. Yum! 😋
The owners are such lovely people. They are local, as I am, and I am so happy they're here.“

“While the Mexican and Italian dishes are delicious, don’t sleep on the SMOOTHIES! We don’t have many health food options in this area so it’s wonderful having refreshing smoothie and açaí options so close by. My go to is one of the green smoothies and perfectly crisp mozzarella sticks but everything is excellent!“

“I grabbed the quesadilla and it was fenomenal. I chose chicken as the meat and it was flavorful, juicy, and some of the best I’ve had. A lot of flavor and ingredients packed into one quesadilla. It’s not the standard picture of what a quesadilla may look like but was much more flavorful so I did not mind. As someone who grew up in the Latino culture this is very authentic! The workers were very friendly and got my order perfectly even after I changed a few ingredients. 10/10 would recommend. (I went back for seconds)“

“Cozy Bodega with the most badass authentic tacos! Hail Mary twenty-times over for this spot!
This cozy little spot has everything Mexican, Viva Mexico!
Family owned and run business, absolutely adorable spot. I highly recommend this as one of my Top Ten Bodegas for Munchies and Comfort food.
Best advice—take out or delivery. They used to have a chair or bench outside, not sure but if you walk down a couple blocks there’s a park where you can enjoy the sunset with a delicious taco. 🌮“

“The service and the food is really good, the lady in the front make sure I have everything, utensils and sauces. I have to mention that i went back to get food last week and the man who was taking orders don't speak English and it was difficult to communicate with him, the loud music make it even worse I think, the man was drunk. The service is usually outstanding just that day it was a horrible experience.“
