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.

October 2024

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.

September 2024

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.
