“This really is a neighborhood vibe Mexican tavern with really good drinks, cool guacamole and chips and excellent Tacos. They recommend the Al pastor, the steak and the chicken tacos. But the best was the Al pastor and cucumber drink was really good. Quick , loud and delicious 😊”
“Alberto made the experience wonderful. Me and a relative sat at the bar to have a pre-birthday celebration drink and I had the mezcalita which was made wonderfully with a great mezcal. We both had the al pastor tacos which were a burst of flavor. The ambiance is great & they do outdoor seating in the summer. Alberto surprised us with two hibiscus margarita shots and it made our day! Thanks Alberto & we’ll be back again.”
“Absolutely fantastic food! Everything was so delicious and we can’t wait to go back again! Had the guacamole and house made chips, steak tacos and enchiladas verdes along with a Paloma Margarita. Yum yum yum! Our waiter Justino was fantastic and very personable - can’t wait to go back again! Delicious!”
“I just sat there for a juice and a mocktail on a dead-breeze summer evening. They have café tables outside if you only want drinks, and regular tables if you want to eat something. The place inside is nice, and outside is just outside — but it’s a good spot if you enjoy people-watching The service is 4 stars because the menu was super dirty and the waitress couldn't hide her frustration when we ordered mocktails.”
“I really liked the food, especially the tuna tostada for its complex flavor, and the mole was a close second with its intense flavor. I found the shrimp taco's flavor too mild in comparison, but not bad. I really wanted to like the place, it looks nice and the staff is friendly, however the food took forever to come out and the space indoors is extremely loud.”
