    Great tacos and margaritas. I will be back. The fish tacos were the best of what I ordered. Also enjoyed the guacamole. Nice and chunky. Also trio was delicious, but the hot could have been spicer for my tastes.

    The food was great, seems like queso portions may have gotten smaller but food always has the same excellent flavor. Service was very fast with plenty of room .

    Server was really good! Food was amazing! Chorizo chili is awesome! Carnita and chicken soft tacos were great as well. Marg and Mojito were amazing. My wife said it’s the best mojito she’s had in a long time. We had a really nice time.

    Incredible food. Great pricing and management is killing it! Just wish the atmosphere was a bit more mellow. Rowdy on a Saturday night isn't the place for a romantic date night per se, but will absolutely be back for the incredible queso and tacos!!
