    Wow! This is not your average taco joint. They have somehow elevated the Mexican taco to something heavenly with very unique offerings, combinations and high quality ingredients. The chicken wing appetizer had 4 huge chicken wings with a great sweet & spicy sauce. Our entrees were four different tacos (comes in an order of 3 & sides are extra). We really enjoyed the beef short ribs, fajitas & lamb tacos. All were SOOOO good and so fresh and flavorful!

    Prices are higher than other Mexican food, but we didn’t mind because the quality was top notch — including hand made tortillas. The chips were warm, crispy and flavorful, but i do think they are overpriced at $13 as the portion is quite small; note to owner: skip the queso dip, offer more chips & charge $8 or at mist $10.

    The space itself was open and inviting and they have a nice front patio that will be great for people watching come warmer weather. But if I would suggest they (1) upgrade the dining chairs from hard metal unpadded ones (that delicious food deserves a comfortable butt) & put in a few more booths and (2) add 3-4 industrial ceiling fans to move around some air as it was a bit stuffy and hot, which would also add interesting ambiance. BTW, the main hostess who seated us was very helpful & knowledgeable and service by a newly hired server was flawless. You can tell this is a place that cares - cares about its food quality, its customer service and it’s employees! We will definitely be back, maybe even next week!

    We had a great lunch, the place wasn’t busy at all. We ordered chips, margaritas and tacos. Everything felt homemade and fresh! Service was great as well.

    Pretty standard sports bar atmosphere. The food was interesting. My friend and I came here on a Saturday night, and it was pretty packed, which we probably should have expected. We shared the chips and dips appetizer. I got the oxtail tacos, and my friend tried the pig face tacos. Her tacos looked a lot more traditional than mine. The oxtail tacos had tortilla shells that tasted deep fried, and they came with a liquid that I assumed I was supposed to dip them in. Everything was pretty greasy, but the flavor was decent.

    Great restaurant. I've only ordered food to go. The inside has a nice layout. Entering is weird because of where the little door is placed. The tacos I had were delicious. The three tacos I've tried were the Beef Short Rib, Pig Face, and the Oxtail & Neck Bone Birria; in that order of my favorite. Felt like I was eating real authentic tacos.

    It took me a minute to find the entrance as the door seemed to blend in with the building, but once I entered, there was a cute ambience. I asked the hostess if I could get a booth instead and her tone was kinda rude as she said "sure" and gave me a bad first impression. Although, our waitress was kind and helpful.

    I noticed the cups were face down on the table so I wasn't comfortable drinking out of them due to sanitary concerns since I'm a clean freak. Although, they had a nice concept of the water and cups on the table ahead of time. Most taco places usually have nearly empty tacos and lack flavor, although I was pleasantly surprised.

    I ordered the lamb tacos which were packed and bursting in flavor. I really couldn't believe it. Each bite was better than the next. Unfortunately I did see a small piece of hair on the platter underneath one of my tacos. But outside of that, the ambience, service from the waitress, and taste of the flood was great. Once improved in the areas I noted above, I would change this over to five stars.
