    A drink at the bar is always met with a friendly face. The corn and the wings appetizers are a great way to start the meal. Tacos and salmon are favorites. The waiters are knowledgable and focused on the customer. Always a pleasant experience.

    Had heard fabulous things about the restaurant and particularly the staff. I agree that the staff was first rate, but the food was not too tasty and pretty skimpy. Also, access is a problem - many stairs from the parking lot and very few parking places in front. Not sure if bathroom was accessible - might have been down those stairs!

    Great tacos, creative flavor combos and very consistent from visit to visit. I wish the drinks were a little bigger, they are very small for the price.

    Our waitress wa EXCELLENT! Food was also very good. The noise level t first was fine. Then the music and noise at several (late arriving) tables became intolerable. Luckily we had finished our food and departed promptly. There is no need for people to scream in a community location

    Great team and super supportive. Tuesdays are quiz nights so far too noisy to eat upstairs without knowing upfront.

    Great experience. Casual place in downtown Wellesley with a variety of food to make anyone happy. Unique tacos were a fun option as were the yummy appetizers. Server was attentive and accommodating and didn't rush us. Kid-friendly as well.

    The food (tacos, guacamole, a half platter nacho, sweet potato mash, tortilla soup) was all very good. My need for gluten free food was addressed professionally and there were lots of choices from the gluten-free menu. The real star, however, was our amazing waiter who was handling the whole room by himself at lunchtime. He was ably assisted by others who brought the food to the table when it was ready. Very professional and friendly service !!! My only caveat is the music, was very much too loud for lunchtime and for a restaurant that was not full. It was difficult to talk across a four person table and be heard.
