Went in on a Saturday night but it was too busy to even eat at bar so I ordered takeout which was good but I asked for shrimp in my salad and they did not add that. The crowd seemed like a 20-30 something party scene.

Solid and tasty food, fun times, good service. Ultimately not exceptional, but enjoyable and we will return.

Absolutely delicious Mexican food & margs! Everything was so yummy, we got the barbacoa tacos & the fried mahi tacos, chips&guac, esquites, and fried artichokes. The margs are super strong and soooo good. They also have good non-alc options! The service was good, our sides took quite a while longer than our tacos to come out which wasn’t ideal but very minor. The restaurant itself was quite loud so maybe better for hang outs or younger ppl. Will def be back tho!

Found this restaurant by chance and I loved it. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and the food . I had the tortilla soup and carne asada and carnitas tacos. Also the tortilla embarazada . All recommended 100%. The prices affordable. Great experience.

I’ve been here probably pushing 100 times by now, and it’s always a 10/10 experience every single time!! It’s been in my top three spots for several years now. Anytime I’m meeting someone, I always convince them to come here and try it out because the food and drinks never miss. The service is always amazing, the vibe is adorable, and the owner is so kind and knowledgeable. Definitely worth checking out!!

Saturday Happy Hour! Fantastic deals on tacos & margaritas. Most previous HH menus were only Tue-Fri, but our visit yesterday confirmed Saturday was back. Lucked out on seats and had great service.
