We were able to get a table without a reservation for 2 people. Everyone was extremely kind, helpful, but it seems there weren’t enough workers for the amount of clients. We got nachos as an appetizer, but they came out almost at the same time as the main course. We love the variety of salsas with the nachos. There is even a little menu to indicate the kind of salsas. We got the Chile relleno , which was amazing! There was a really delicious sauce, and it was quite unique. I’ve never tasted anything like it. It was a little bit too spicy, but with some rice on the side, it helped diminish the intensity. And drinking a Margarita helped. The happy hour drinks were good: Margarita, only available classic, on the rocks. I would go back, but only when I’m not in a rush and want to sit and enjoy. As the evening went on the music got louder, and it was harder to hear each other speak. The ambience is cool
Good is great, the staff are all friendly and helpful. My first visit was on a Friday. If you are there towards the end of the week or weekend, happy hour gets REALLY busy. Which is expected, but it took a while to get a drink and then longer to get the bill. I went again on a Monday because the look looked so good, and I'm glad I did. I had the tacos al pastor, and it was delicious. Drinks are fantastic and worth the price for sure.
Had dinner with my husband and kids today! The salsa sampler was wonderful, the quesabirria tacos were amazing! We also had Al pastor which was yummy. The portions are a decent size, I would consider sharing. Oh and the street corn is fabulous. I would definitely go back for an adult evening, the drinks look great.
