This was MY TYPE of place. The atmosphere was moody, beautiful and stylish. The queso was to die for (make sure you grab that) and the drinks were so yummy. I had the spicy pineapple margarita and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. It’s a bit on the pricier side but it was worth it, in my opinion. Check it out if you’re in the area, I’m so glad I came.

Love the food, atmosphere and service! I normally have the Korean taco today. I changed it up and had both the fish taco and the mushroom taco with the classic margarita. They are all so good.

This place is fantastic in every aspect. We got the street corn app, chicken and Al pastor tacos, and cocktails. All were amazing! I could rant about it all, but the flavor and char on the chicken was mind-blowing! Service was exceptional and food came out super fast. As we dined, we admired the beautiful decor and wall paintings. Great atmosphere, great service, and amazing food. Don’t miss this spot!

Hans not only provided exemplary service and suggested a variety of delicious tacos but also impressed with his great hair and impeccable sense of style, adding a unique charm to the dining experience. His friendly demeanor and stylish flair made the visit even more enjoyable. Sorry I couldn’t thank you in person before I left. In all, this taco restaurant is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates great food served in a beautifully designed, calming environment with service that goes the extra mile.

I came here 2.5 years ago, but at the time it was wonderful. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a pleasant, warm ambience and decoration. We were seated up top at the very corner, and had a nice view of the entire place. You can get a little forgotten if you're tucked away there on a busy day, but it's really not a problem. I was surprised at how tender the octopus was in the 'tako' tacos, and how fresh the other accoutrement were, pairing together to make one delicious, albeit strange, taco. Everything we tried was great.
