Great, hidden away Mexican restaurant. Everyone was very friendly and the food and drinks were good. I recommend it.

I would recommend the place except for the service. They were just this side of rude. Slow to wait on people and short and unhelpful when they did show up. My tacos were wonderful and my strawberry margarita tasty, but I prefer more helpful and professional service.

Didn’t love the food or the drinks. Everything was a bit bland and pricey for what we got. The second star was for ambiance; it has a nice large patio for summer nights and usually isn’t too crowded.
This place is a perfect example of why automatic 20% gratuities should be rethought. While the bill was nearly $200, our waiter—who was rude, inattentive, and rarely around—still added a 20% tip. We were there celebrating a friend’s birthday, and the poor service made the experience all the more disappointing. After nearly 15 years in the service industry, I know that tips are earned, not guaranteed. This place clearly doesn’t share that standard.
HUGE fan of the pay per taco style. I really enjoy being able to tailor my portion sizes depending on my hunger level. Definitely coming back just for that (and, of course, the delicious baja fish taco 😊)

I was surprised this wasn't rated higher. The tacos were great and taco Tuesday made it even better. 3 tacos for $10 that were a very large portion compared to other street tacos. Will definitely be back ! Fast service and allow you to order by QR code so no waiting for servers unless you want to

Food and drinks were very good. The service was crazy, the staff put down a margarita pitcher to a group of 6 and came back 10 mins later and rudely said that we had to pay for the pitcher because it wasn’t for us. We had been ordering from our phones and didn’t necessarily know when someone ordered a pitcher or anything else. The waitress said she could get the manager and they just came back and took the nearly full pitcher, the manager never came. This happened after we collectively spent $200…
Very friendly staff, good food and timely service during lunch rush. I’ll be back as they say.
Over priced. Customer service was non-existent. Food was McDonald’s level at best.

Laid back and easy dinner. Great tacos and margs!
Good service and good food
Margaritas and tacos are good. We always sit outside and the service is typically very slow and inattentive. Honestly our biggest complaint is the napkins - the tacos are naturally very messy and the napkins are really poor quality. It’s annoying to have to go through 15+ tiny thin paper napkins just to eat three tacos. Still, we keep coming back because we like the food, the price per taco is less than Bartaco, and can walk here.

The Elote was horrible. They couldn’t even bother to give you a mix of mayo/sourcream and lime. Just straight mayo and the tajin taste off brand. I ordered the Burria nachos and I’ve had better. The cheese on the nachos taste cheep. Never returning
