The tacos were worth moaning about. I got a chicken taco and a fish taco. Two were fine for me, plus some chips we all shared. Most of my friends had 3 tacos and could have easily eaten 1 or 2 more.

Lovely place went there during anthrocon of 2025 amazing idea it was clean professional and over all not crowded and the staff are very nice when I went with my dad and amazing food i would recommend to going here its not very busy when I went but was moderately busy but it didn't take too long to get our food it was fast and quick and I very much will come back next year

Appetizers were good but the chicken taco was so watery and tasteless. It was like canned chicken without seasoning. Hot sauce at the table couldn't save it. Honestly the only taco I liked was the shrimp 🍤.

Queso was expensive and chips/salsa not included. Queso was corn-based, so it rolls right off of whatever it falls on instead of sticking/staining like normal cheese. It was barely alright, but I used a lot of the table's hot sauce to get through...
