Sat right by the kitchen and the grill smells were unreal 🤤 The char on the chicken was perfect, especially with the earthy crunch of the radish — easy 5/5. The beef barbacoa taco was honestly the standout, best one on the table. My hibiscus tequila cocktail was 🔥 and the seasoned salt rim was Smoky, not just regular salt — perfectly done. Staff was warm, welcoming, and on point the whole time. Big shout-out to the BOH and kitchen — y’all really nailed the entire experience 👏🏾🔥 Great way for me to celebrate after finals #DrexelDragon

Absolutely delicious Mexican food & margs! Everything was so yummy, we got the barbacoa tacos & the fried mahi tacos, chips&guac, esquites, and fried artichokes. The margs are super strong and soooo good. They also have good non-alc options! The service was good, our sides took quite a while longer than our tacos to come out which wasn’t ideal but very minor. The restaurant itself was quite loud so maybe better for hang outs or younger ppl. Will def be back tho!
