It is small inside, but I was not uncomfortable. The decor is beautiful. The tacos and tostadas are delicious and authentic tasting. The customer service was also great. Thank you.

I don't want to give such a harsh rating, but I just wasn't happy with the food, service, or environment. For one thing, it was absolutely FREEZING. No heat whatsoever and they refused to close the door. I asked if they could and she claimed that there basically was no door or whatever and then as we were leaving we see the door is finally shut. We had to freeze during our entire meal and then you shut the door right before we go? It's 50°! Close the door! I got the 3 tacos. I thought the food would be good because of the reviews, but the steak tacos were bland and oddly very GRITTY in texture & the chips came with no guac or salsa. If you want the waitress (the receipt said Rachel) to come back because you need something, good luck with that! She was polite, but practically non-existent &

We both had a taco combo with beans and rice. Carnitas and chorizo. Excellent flavors. The beans were perfect and the rice was also quite good. Great great tacos!

Nice little quaint spot in hamden. We were greeted by a nice young lady who sat us and gave us menus. They were out of Margarita mix so we had soda...they were also out of ice. I was ready to go at that point but decided to give the food a try. Very fresh ingredients and nice portions! The fajitas come out sizzling on cast iron plate, great plating as well. It lacked something in the seasoning. The soup was amazing and it hit the spot! It was needed because it was chilly inside. Also seem to have ventilation issues as they were cooking it got smokey and they opened the front door!!! More cold air!!! It was a decent lunch just can't enjoy my meal if I am not comfortable!
