Ordering Single tacos was great, Baja fish were the best. Shrimp were good but had a bit of kick to the them. Carnitas and Tinga tacos were good just not our favourite. Chips with guac and the green salsa are good. Red salsa had some heat. Tinga taquitos had some heat also but were really tasty.

Alas VERY few options for anyone allergic to cilantro. Usually I can find a few things that they can leave out the cilantro but this time just the quesadilla with no crema. Only meat not marinated in cilantro is shrimp.

Food was very good. Salsa had good flavor. Speed of service was poor. We ran out of chips and salsa and had to wait to get drink refills. One waitress for the entire patio. Margaritas were too sweet and not exceptional. Service was friendly until I sent back my drink and asked for a box.

The waiter brought out the appetizers and main dish at the same time claiming that the kitchen was moving fast. This meant our tacos, which were not real hot to begin with, were cold. Definitely a sense of moving us along even though there were open tables. Should have sent it back but we were a bit tired and decided that it didn’t matter. Would strongly recommend not going to this restaurant

We were greeted with smiles and friendly people. Our server was Maria and she was fun, friendly and helpful when we asked questions. She suggested the trio of margaritas and it was perfect and fun to taste all the different flavors. Super helpful to have them labeled as well. We loved the salsa, cheese crispy was fun and served on a pizza pan lifted for extra space on our table. Chicken tacos were awesome very testy and you could have one or twenty. Beans where great and the experience was perfect. Also we knew what we were eating. No mystery or unique presentation, which is what we were looking for. Great homemade Mexican good that was super tasty!

We sat at the upstairs patio overlooking old town. Our server was fantastic, friendly and accommodating. The margaritas were wonderful. We also had the taquitos, guacamole, salsa and queso dip. Sadly, We didn’t like the food. The queso was more like bean dip with some cheese and tomato’s in it. And we really wanted just a cheese dip, that’s just not what it is. The taquitos were hard and dry. The salsa either lacked flavor or was too hot to have flavor. The guacamole was the best of the meal and it really was good. We went for happy hour on a Saturday! Pretty great deal. The restaurant itself is so fun. We would go back but we would go back more if they made some changes to the menu. Overall we recommend

Happy hour is the best hour! This is one of me and my boyfriends favorite spots to go to for happy hour. $7 frozen cien-a-ritas and $3 tinga tacos - you can’t beat it! The service is always quick and friendly and the food is so good. I would recommend getting a reservation though because this place gets busy quick!
