We all had al a carte taco's and a couple of them were very dry like they were on the heat lamps for a little too long. Definitely heavy-handed on the salt in the soup. The rest of the meal was great; the service was outstanding. And the tequila selection is immense.

Taco Tuesday! Great Value and food, Although, it would be nice to have warm fresh homemade chips with the salsa. Noise level is high. And we still had fun. Will return.

A delightful place to enjoy Tacos, and more. We recommend the Al Pastoor tacos, For appetizers - a bit more guacamole in the serving would have served us better. The waitress was very kind and attentive to meet our needs with a very pleasing manner. For summer months, acquire reservations.

This is such a great spot to have on the northside of Holland. Don't forget it for happy hour too!! It has cozy ambiance and it is awesome that you can do reservations as they fill up fast at their small size. Can't wait for outdoor season - with its view of Lake Macatawa!

Disappointing. Drinks meh. Fish tacos were so salty to the point of being inedible. They desperately needed some freshness. Perhaps some avocado, cilantro, or a crema would have helped. Very spendy for what it is. Tables are extremely tight with small tops and too much left on the table tops.

This was our second time here. Who would have thought that the simple taco could be an exquisite gourmet food item? Not me! The vibe inside the restaurant is truly upbeat and high energy. The service was great, the food was awesome, and the prices are very reasonable.

I like the small quaint atmosphere and the friendly service. We love the food and drinks as well. My only complaint is that I made reservations for a birthday dinner but like in another review, nothing was mentioned. My suggestion would be to take the occasion option off if it really doesn't mean anything. We will be returning especially in the summer!

Food, ambiance, service was great. Specialty mixed drinks were not good; they need a new mixologist. Though the classic and cucumber margaritas were excellent. Will definitely go again.

I had the tocos. Chicken was good but didn’t like the beef. They were warm at best when served. The whole restaurant was cold inside. When the workers have jackets on you know it’s cold inside. This won’t keep us from returning but will wait for warmer days. The server was very helpful & a great knowledge of the food & drinks. Wasn’t her fault the food wasn’t hit & cold inside.
