The restaurant is listed as having outdoor seating available. But they dont. False.

I had the tacos dorados and the guacamole and tried the mocktail which was this super refreshing mix of fruit juices. It was all super delicious I’m usually not a fan of beans but even that was so good and perfectly salted.

I would have loved if the Barbacoa meat came with the option for the au jus type sauce you can dip into or a Valentina’s type hot sauce. But I’m just being picky. I truly love coming here or getting take out. The servers are also all very kind and friendly :)

Hi! I really love your restaurant but sometimes you guys are closed when it says you’re open on Google. Also the phone seems to be disconnected..

Where do you guys post when you’re closed? can you let me know?

Thanks.

Such a great place, amazing drinks, great food!

Edit. I am not sure if they have new owners or what. The food is amazing but whoever makes the drinks.. its gone down significantly.

Like the drink in my pic, they dont make it the same at all or he was just a horrible bartender, which is sad cause I won't come back for the drinks you get there now :(

This was my second disappointing visit. And same bartender.

Edit in response to owner comment... Not talking about the glassware, the drink itself was awful the last 2 times I went and I always order the same drink, but you had a different bartender , male , the last 2 times I went so I was assuming new management.

Tacos were very small and flavourless. Grocery store jar Tostitos brand salsa was a low blow.
Not sure if they had an off night, as we are baffled by all the positive reviews.

It’s SO difficult to find really excellent Mexican food, and this place knocks my socks off. Probably the best I’ve had in over a decade! Their tortillas were the freshest I’ve ever had, and not at all dry, and made fresh in house. Will come again!

Ordered takeout over the phone since I've tried them on uber eats. The mustache bartender quoted me $15 for a taco trio, and then proceeded to charge me $17.50 for each. (I ordered 2).

I paid cash, and when I realized I was shorted on the change, I went back. He changed his story and said in-house prices have gone up (the 15$ trio is still the uber eats price). He refused to honour the price he quoted.

The food was great, but the mustache guy seems confused about the prices. If he doesn't know the prices of things and gives inaccurate prices when asked, then uh what's the point of asking?

Overall, I'm pretty dissatisfied with the service.
