  The food here is amazing and the staff is really nice and helpful. The queso and guacamole are great starters to share with the table. My ultimate favorite thing here is the crazy corn, it's extremely flavorful. They really do a great job with all of their items and I always enjoy my time here.

  Good tacos and good selection of cocktails. Great place to lounge on a hot day and drink margaritas in their outdoor patio.

  Went here for the all you can eat tacos. They were all fantastic and had great flavor. I really enjoyed the chicken and shrimp tacos. Their chips and salsa is also very good. Small restaurant, but great service and atmosphere as well.

  I've visited this place multiple times so this is a summary from various visits, not just one bad experience. The good: The drinks are great and the service is good. The atmosphere is also well balanced enough to hang out at without feeling overwhelmed by the noise or the people. The bad: the food is legit bad and overpriced. Most of the items on the menu are bland and tasteless. The shrimp and fish tacos are breaded and fried and the tortillas are flour. If you ask for hot sauce, they bring you Cholula, aka salty vinegar with splashes of tomato juice, which is fine if you're eating at a hole in the wall or an American chain, but definitely not okay for $5 tacos and $13 burritos. The carnitas leaked grease all over the plate and most of the fillings for the taco are just that - fillings that fill up space without adding any flavor or dimensions to the dish. At the end of the day, go there for the drinks and atmosphere. Bring your own salt shaker for some light snacking and plan on eating elsewhere after.

  Fine dining meets chalk-paint on the wall artwork. This kitchy place is a fabulous nook for those seeking designer food. After 2+2 happy hour margaritas for me and the SO + 2 apps, the $42 check was a good sign that we should have dinner somewhere else. As a "commodity food" / cheap beer guy I was really impressed with the presentation of what they serve, it's really top notch. I usually reserve the last star for live entertainment or beachfront or unique location aspect but the gorgeous view is marred by the tan concrete wall of the bike shop across the street. I recommend this place to the lady friends who appreciate casual class, nice atmosphere, and no financial sense. WiFi password on request!
