Ordered 3 street tacos and kids chicken quesadilla for take out. The street tacos were delicious. The spicy chipotle garlic shrimp taco and the pulled pork taco were delicious. The chicken with pineapple salsa was good too. Service was great at the bar. Good with gluten allergy. Children's quesadilla was very small but it was only $5.
