Recommended by my dear daughter while in town. In the heart of 5 Points, this cool Mexican dive is pretty good. Our server was on her first day waiting tables and she did a very good job. Started with the Nacho plate and a malt-forward IPA. Beer was good, not great but nachos were fantastic. We then dined on quesadillas and tuna poke bowl. Both very good. I then finished with a hop-forward IPA and that was even better. Prices were reasonable - it was $2 taco night too so lots of students in for the quick treats. I was definitely the oldest in the restaurant but would return as the food was pretty good.

Food was just okay..warmed up meat on a taco..

Fun place. We ate lunch on the patio in the back. Portions are small, but I really liked the fish tacos and a friend of mine had the shrimp ones; another had the shrimp quesadillas. Medium to high prices. Bar looked like a good one for later in the day - nice selection of craft beers.

Pretty good tacos and not bad tasting drinks! For a fusion restaurant, there really weren't as many ground breaking dishes as I was anticipating, but I would certainly recommend this place to try at least once! They have a quaint outdoor dining area.
