There were four of us, and we were greeted as soon as we walked up. For cocktails we ordered a Hess Chardonnay, a La Paloma Mezcal, Pina CoCo Limon, and a Strawberry Tahin. We shared a Ceviche Yucatan & Bone Marrow Quesidilla, and chips and salsa as an appetizer. For dinner we ordered 2 Chick Al-Pastor tacos, 2 Asada taco, 1 Mr. Asparagus taco,, 1 baja fish taco, 1 Sinaloa Style Tostada, and 1 Won-Tostada. The waiter was very helpful, answered all our menu questios & attentive, and the food was delicious! Thank you.

Its nice to find a Mexican restaurant that doesn't follow the same formulas. I had the tuna tostada. It was more like a poke bowl, really, really good. Also the chicken asada taco. Had to eat with a fork because there was so much meat piled on. Nice atmosphere, good drinks. Everyone in our group of four loved their meal.

I know it's Del Mar but $9 for sparsely seasoned street tacos, if crazy. Then the beans and rice are two separate la carte items. This just ain't it chief !

Just visited the restaurant on Saturday — it looked amazing and had its own unique vibe. The food was absolutely epic! Service started off a bit slow, but once things picked up, everything was smooth and enjoyable. Definitely worth the visit!
