Customer Reviews
Very interesting taco choices. The fish tacos were very salty. Otherwise, everything else we tried was excellent. We will be back for more. Dog friendly.
Great place for small bites and cold beer. Prices are beyond reasonable and tastes outstanding. Their menu includes vegetarian and vegan options. Both indoor and outdoor seating with the potential for private parties on the lanai. The staff is helpful and friendly. I am new to the area and this is only a couple trolly stops away so, definitely someplace where I can become a regular.
This is not a fancy Mexican restaurant. That said, there is room to eat inside, and they have a patio in back. It’s casual, for sure. The food is amazing - seriously. These are chef crafted tacos. This is food you’d expect to see on “Beat Bobby Flay” or another Food Network show. The flavor profiles are excellent. The tortillas are freshly made. The portions are priced well - that said, I know guys who routinely eat 5-6 tacos when they come here… me, I can’t finish 2… but I sure want to! And the Elote corn is so fresh, crisp and tasty. Highly recommend the various steak tacos, but you can’t go wrong here, it’s all fantastic!
My experience is based on 2 visits. The first one being The very best, although probably some of the most expensive carnitas tacos. I've ever purchased but they were absolutely just completely phenomenal, delicious, moist hot. Everything about it was an exceptional experience that I've seldom ever had. Eating Mexican food. I couldn't wait to go back and purchase another carnitas taco. So another week goes by and I purchased 2 more, and they were the worst carnitas tacos. I've ever had, and I will never return dry. Extremely dry, very tough that corn Tortilla? Shell was like more than an eighth inch thick. Probably like Three sixteenths or more sick, and they were called and almost unbendable disgusting shame on them
My review is only for the chips. I order several orders of chips about every 6 weeks and the cooks put way too much SALT on the chips. Dosen't the manager/owner check things like that too make sure the cooks are trained properly? The service is always good and the atmosphere is nice.
