The Latin inspired food is exceptional, especially the brisket tacos. Also try the calamari sandwich and their garden salad; it was so much more than I expected The vibe is chill and welcoming, and the service was excellent.

Fairly priced food. The tacos were pretty good. My briskey taco was a little too wet though. It was as if I had a sauce spout of coleslaw juice coming from my taco.

The creme brulee was a bit pricey and did not have a distinct crack when breaking the glaze. More like a slap.

Really friendly and attentive servers! Our tacos were pretty good and awesome portions for the price. We also got the creme brûlée which was okay, but not super warm

I was very excited to try the tacos from here after hearing about this newer pop ups connection to Tommy O’s. The atmosphere and service were okay, nothing write home about. We ordered two different types of tacos the Kalua Pork and done Beer Battered Fish Tacos. Both types completely fell apart in the soggy tortilla shell so you could not pick them up. But the Kalua Pork was delicious. Nothing about this place wowed our group.

I went last week with friends. Service was friendly and orders correct. My issues were with smaller details. I ordered a mocktail spiced colada. 4 or 5 times more lime juice than needed. Couldn't taste coconut or mango at all. I tried about a 3rd of it and could not drink any more.
I ordered calamari steak for one friend. Although I ordered during Happy Hour and it was on the menu, I was charged full price and not given an option of the half price.

I will probably return, but will have to be more assertive on the charges and the drink quality. (Maybe ask them to skip the lime juice entirely next time.)

Great chips/salsa/quac and great drinks! I always get the tofu tacos and they’re delicious. My friend enjoyed her mushroom tacos here. Calm atmosphere and great service every time.

Cute restaurant with delicious tacos and other food. Very friendly service and accommodating to my gluten allergy even though there weren’t a lot of GF-labeled options on the menu.

Fantastic food packed full of flavor and absolutely ZERO skimping!

They even have an AMAZING bartender named Erin that is incredibly talented, super kind, & attentive.

This is a restaurant that you should not miss at all costs!

5/20/25 - Review update:

Wow, a friend of ours left a complaint on their Instagram page and when she asked why they deleted her comment, they blocked her. No wonder Erin, their bartender, has that stank attitude. Because they clearly don’t hold their employees accountable.

5/3/25 - Review update:

Although I didn’t plan on coming back, we stopped by because our friends were having dinner there and asked us to come meet them. I had already eaten at home so I was just gonna have a drink. Rather than being greeted with a friendly and welcoming smile, I was greeted in a cold way. Erin, the bartender, was clearly upset about my review from a couple weeks because that’s the first thing she said when we were gonna order drinks. “I remember you. YOU left that review”
 with an annoyed look
 which was pretty awkward, rude and unprofessional, in my opinion. Even my friends felt uncomfortable. Maybe they had an off day when I visited the first time, but that’s clearly not how you greet a customer. I feel like if a customer didn’t have a good experience the first time, wouldn’t you want to make their experience to be better? Wouldn’t you want them to have good opinions and thoughts on the service and establishment??? I’m sure she will also see this review, but we will definitely not be returning after that experience.

4/22/25 - Recently saw a a post about a spicy margarita at this place and wanted to come check it out. Stopped in the other evening. It was not busy at all. There was a table in the corner when we arrived that had 3-4 people and 1 other person sitting at the bar top. It took awhile for the bartender to bring us waters and menus. It also took her awhile to come back and take our orders. We ordered 2 cocktails and the shrimp ceviche tostada that was on their special for the day. Drinks were good but the margarita did not taste or feel like it had any alcohol in it. The shrimp ceviche was okay, a little bland. Cute spot but not sure if we'll return. Service and food/drinks were just subpar...
