Came here on a whim during my lunch break and I'm hooked. The Fish Tacos was easily the best version I've had this year. Friendly staff, fast service, and they actually got my order right the first time. Will be back next week.
Honestly impressed. We tried three different items between the table and the Fish Tacos stole the show. The staff genuinely seemed to enjoy being there which makes a difference. Cannot recommend enough.
Brought the family on a Saturday and we all walked out happy. Kids loved their food, my partner ordered the Elote and finished every bite. Prices feel fair for the portions. The dining room was a little loud but that's expected on weekends.
Great tacos & mexican option for the area. The Carnitas Bowl was the highlight, big portion and well-priced. Seating is limited so if you come at peak hours plan on takeout. I'll be back.
