Solid local spot for Mexican cuisine and cocktails. It seems like the kitchen has a hard time keeping up with heavier dining traffic, but the service staff is pleasant and the atmosphere is nice. Music bingo is the best night to go!

For my bachelorette my group of 4 came here for dinner on a Saturday. The place was busy, it was about 8pm. It took a bit to be acknowledged, staff walked past us 7 times before someone spoke to us. Not a huge deal, the only comment that I didn’t love, is when the host staff asked us “are you eating or just drinks”, and I responded with “dinner please” .. their response was “ok because if you weren’t eating we would serve others who were first”. I get it but it was a odd comment to receive when trying out this place.
We were seated, our server was lovely. We shared an appetizer, had a couple of Margarita pitchers and tacos each! The food was great, drinks were delicious (spicy mango marg is AMAZING) and it was a really nice patio for a summer night!
Also was awesome for accommodating for Gluten Free options! Shared fryer for the corn chips and tortillas though.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free - tons of options but they were very honest and aware of the cross contamination of the fryers.

Best margarita ever!! The whole menu looked delicious but we tried two different tacos which were amazing. Love the atmosphere, the back patio has such a fun but relaxing vibe! I will be back before the season is over and I definitely recommend!! Our server was lovely and provided good recommendations 🙂

The food was only okay but the service was awful. Our waitress dropped off our food and didn’t return until we were ready to leave which meant no drink refills and no checking in on how the food was. While paying the bill, I mentioned that I would have preferred corn tortillas to the flour ones that the tacos were served on, which is an option on the menu. Our server told us that it’s not her job to ask people which option they’d like. My only regret is that I’d already left a tip.

Awesome patio and atmosphere. Super friendly service and way more vegan options than expected! Tacos and burrito were excellent. In house hot sauce was stellar too! Thank you!

The only thing nice about this restaurant is the outside area in behind. Unfortunately it was full and we were forced to sit inside on uncomfortable stools, shooing flies off our food. Food has no flavour....bland, even after a full container of hot sauce Beer was warm to boot. Waitress was nice and joked about us having to fight flies.

I’ve never had better tacos anywhere than here. I had the tofu tacos and they were amazing.

Highly recommend the churros. Absolutely delicious!

The staff was very friendly and really fast service.

Planning on returning in a few weeks :)
