Went here for a few drinks on a beautiful day. Had a nice selection of beers on tap and drinks. The paintings all over the walls and ceilings are cool and it’s nice that they have the outside sitting area. Good vibes

Solid spot. Good prices. Busy on a summer weekend so just hang around until you can steal someone’s table outside.
The marg was a bit watery but good. Hit the spot enough.
The nachos are actually exactly what you’d expect in a standard, satisfying plate of nachos and they’re big. Perfect for sharing with 2-4 people.
Love that they have a breakfast burrito at night.
Great spot to grab a drink before going out or meet friends.
Super lively area, obviously.

the bartender there was so nice. Gave me a sample of the frozen pina colada (sweet but strong taste) to make sure i would like it. I felt very welcomed and the music was pretty good! The Moscow Mule (Sweet) was good too. 10/10 would come again

Very cool, underground pregame spot. Spicy cucumber marg was nice. Mez cal pina colada was cool (a bit odd). The Al Pastor tacos are really good (just spicy!). I actually really liked the cheeseburger taco.

The chips & guac is super mid. Wouldn’t wonder again. Also, not enough guac for the chips :/

Overall, really like this place. First come first serve. Not fancy. But $4 late night tacos! Decently priced drinks!

Tacos 🌮 and Corona were tasty. If I wasn't pressed for time, I would have stayed longer.

let me start with our server, stef; she is sooo helpful and courteous and informative about the menu. she recommended the shrimp dumplings and the ribs and the duck and the sushi. it was all sooooo good. (especially the dumplings and ribs). stef, is sooo good at what she does and asset is fortunate to have her on their side. i’d be remiss if i didn’t mention josely, ada and another server, carlos. they too are exceptional at their jobs and asset is fortunate to have them as well. we really enjoyed the service, food and overall vibe. thank you stef for making this dining experience special.

Bar is ok but service it’s extremely disappointing. Sorry to have to do this all the people there were nice but the MANAGER was extremely rude and in A bad mood even though it’s was a Saturday night. Claiming +5 tips for opening just a can

Came here on Oct 19th to get some drinks with friends. As there were no tables outside available, my group spent most of our time standing and drinking our drinks, which was fine. We finally were able to secure an outside table (with no chairs, mind you, so we still had to stand), and after being at the table for only 10 minutes while we finished our first round of drinks a staff member came over with a plate full of food for another group and said that we need to leave because our drinks were empty and the other guests couldn't find any tables (not our problem). We were not asked if we planned to order any more food or drinks, which we were. We were so turned off by the rudeness of the employee in trying to kick us out of a self serve table (there was no one being sat elsewhere; it was first come, first serve) that we decided to leave anyways and not spend anymore money here. Won't be coming back.
