The fish tacos were the best I have ever had.

Food was delicious and my margarita was strong - just how I like it! Got a fish taco with tequila lime glaze and an al pastor taco. Both were so so good with wonderful layers of flavor. Loved that they have esquites, most places I’ve found only have elotes. And it was very good! Our group of 6 all completely cleared the plates. You order and pay from a kiosk which is nice to be able to customize items. Once they bring food out, they don’t wait on your tables but it was easy to catch their attention and ask for things.
Wheelchair accessibility: It is wheelchair accessible, there was a group dining next to us with a member in a motorized chair.

The food here is really good and the atmosphere was so so. The last time I came in a woman was eating there with her ginormous dog about 10 feet away from me. Didn't know it was pet friendly and I'm not a fan of eating in restaurants with dogs inside. The service was lackluster seeing as though our table was never checked on and I had to remind the waitress that I never got my drink. The margaritas are really good and I'm a huge fan of the beef and pork tacos. Parking is a little hard to find, but worth the headache.

Weird to see a community staple slowly decline. First the free beer was gone, then salsa bar, then $2 taco night. Upholstery is completely worn through.
Think better to stay at the top of your game then cut costs and slowly decline.
Cant tell if this is to improve profits or because they are going out of business.
Foods still pretty solid but not like their hey day.
A little pricey for what you get. Food was generally delicious, but they should rename their pico de gallo to “pico de dry-o”.

We came down from the Superbowl parade and decided to patronize a business in the area. While the lines were long that was expected and it moved pretty fast. There was not a long wait to get our food and the tacos and the churros were delicious and flavorful. I would love to come back however, the young man at the counter that took my order when my mom asked what fish was in the fish tacos because it did not specify he sighed and said "oh my god" in an annoyed tone and he was on his phone while I was pulling out my card. I would love to come back but if the staff is going to be rude I will take my business elsewhere.

Me and my husband visited Philadelphia for Valentines Day/EAGLES Parade weekend, and visited this establishment We really enjoyed it. We shared some Short Rib Nachos and they were delicious. Portion size was enough for a light lunch, prices were very affordable, bathrooms were clean, chill music played, and they had the perfect amount of lighting. I felt like My husband and I were on a date 😀. The cashier was friendly and approachable. Will absolutely visit again!

Love this spot. Love the team. The manager Steve is a dope leader. Came early in the week with the family and he made sure we were all taken care of and no balls were dropped. I’ve come here many times, but this one was nice af.
