The place is nice and the service is good.
We ordered nachos, tacos and some drinks and we were really disappointed, the fish tacos were super spicy which made the other flavors not noticeable, the nachos tasteless. Price quality -1

A few choices nearby and I chose this for the ambiance, decor, and diverse Mexican fare. Wow! Glad I did.
Cool staff, great food, and one of the largest Tequila selections I've seen in awhile. Nicollet makes an incredible Virgin Margarita.

Really wanted to like this place, but it was terrible from start to finish. First I sit down at the bar, nobody comes to give me menus/water/acknowledge me for 15min. It wasn’t busy, the servers were too busy having a full conversation and gossiping.

When the finally do get around to getting my order, I order a beer and tacos. I get back a half full glass of beer, never seen that before. Couldn’t even fill the cup up properly!

A half hour later the tacos came out absolutely sopping wet in oil. They were soaked, again never seen that before. My fingers were completely wet from all the oil. The inside was somehow burned and inedible. The entire plate was so soaked in oil it looked more like a soup than tacos.

I ca count on one hand the amount of times I’ve had to send a dish back. So I sent it back, another half hour passes. I ordered a simple burrito so surely they couldn’t mess that up? Wrong again, at least it was edible but it had no seasoning, the meat was overcooked and tough.

Bottom of the barrel experience. Wish I could have the nearly 2 hours and $40 I spent on that mockery of Mexican cuisine.

Their food is so amazing, however, EVERY TIME (4 times now?) I have ordered their incredible taco salad, they have forgotten the chicken. I should just stop ordering it, it’s not even funny anymore. I would give ANYTHING FOR THEM TO SIMPLY TELL THE PREPPERS TO CHECK THE BAG. It’s seriously THAT good.

Great taco! They were so good I dove right in and forgot to take a picture. I got the pork belly and it was delicious and very tender. The “chips” are a great snack and the margarita was delicious. Great service too. Lots of seating outside.

Won’t even rate food because we waited 45 minutes after our ‘reservation’ with 3 open tables all because the front lady was new. Get your manager to train and support. You’re losing business as we saw 6 different groups turned away because they didn’t have a reservation. As for the food? Who knows, will you wait to find out?

Server was nice.

If you did make it this long, like we did… food was excellent.

I recommend going to this place for their happy hour; my friend and I were visiting from Iowa and had good food and drinks for a very reasonable price. I also recommend asking for the amazing server that we were lucky to have, Julia. She is awesome!
