    Our wait was great. The seared tuna done perfectly, and we really enjoyed the lightly fried calamari with aioli instead of marinara. Only problem - the tables are sticky, like they need refinishing. Overall a great experience. Friendly place.

    We are so happy to have stumbled upon this gem. The food was incredible with really fun options from tacos to bowls to various delicious apps. And as a vegetarian, all the taco meat options could be substituted for impossible meat, so that was really awesome. We had the guacamole and it was outstanding!!! The chips are so perfectly seasoned, they were delightful. The service was fast, friendly and really attentive. Drinks were really unique and tasty, I had a hot honey margarita that was to die for. I 100% recommend this place for a great combination of ambiance, energy and delicious Mexican fare!
