Fantastic tacos and guacamole. But, they don't have enough trained staff as other reviews said. Ordering, drinks, and food took very long, even though the restaurant was only 1/3 full. If you like a loud bar-type restaurant, then you'll like the atmosphere.

The food was amazing. Highly recommend the ceviche tostada. Waitress was nice and always checking on us. Not sure why this place has so many bad reviews. It was quiet for a Saturday around 2ish pm.

i used to like this place, that’s until they started nickel and diming customers. i understand you have to charge more for the food you serve , everyone has been forced to do it. But when you feel the need to charge for lime for the fish your eating and for a to go container, it decreases the value of the meal.
