    I brought my band members and partners there after a show, 10 of us altogether. The staff seated us at a long table across the back wall. They were attentive, always there when we needed them, including for second rounds of appetizers and drinks. The vibe was energetic, and felt owner-operated with touches like the eclectic mural on the wall. I filled up with chips, guacamole, snapper ceviche then transitioned to tacos. Would definitely return, especially to try the outdoor seating on a warm night.

    Stumbled upon this cozy little spot and was seriously impressed. The guacamole alone is worth the visit — super fresh with an unexpected twist that totally works. Tacos were next level, too — creative, flavorful, and clearly made with care. It's a small place with a few outdoor tables, which adds to the charm. Not flashy, but the kind of place you’ll want to keep coming back to. Highly recommend for anyone who loves discovering spots that deliver big on taste without the hype.

    Pro tip: get the shrimp tacos and fish tacos. You can thank me later. Literally the most underrated restaurant in the entire Peninsula. Their food is outstanding! This is a casual spot that focuses on food and flavor, and good vibes. They also have excellent takeout, so you can order an entire tray of tacos for your kiddos and eat them at home.

    average is the best description. From the service down to the food. Overpriced for the portion size. 2 small street tacos for $14. Burris tacos were 2 for $19. I’ve had much better for less.

    Food was good. Service was inattentive - cocktail menu arrived 15 min after we were seated; drinks ordered arrived 20 min. apart; multiple attempts to flag a server; etc. A cocktail I had there about 5 times in the past arrived diluted and warm (for $17).
