I haven't been here in a while and I'm sorry I waited so long to come back. Service was quick but the food was the star. Hot cheese elote, yes please! Shrimp tacos were good but the best was the pork tacos. Dripping with flavor! Mezcal margarita is a must try.

Such a cute little place! We went for the Valentine’s pop up and it was our first time there. The food was delicious! We had the sampler and really enjoyed the guac and queso. We tried a few tacos, esquites, and the quesabirria. Our server was nice and attentive. Will be back! I’d recommend making reservations just so you can be seated right when you get there.

I have visited them twice. First time fell in love with the Mango Margarita. I ordered the chicken fajitas and plantains. Second time I literally ordered the same thing. The food was delicious. I will say going on Tuesday you get alot more food. I love the atmosphere, I felt welcomed and the service was really fast. Did not wait long at all for food. Can't wait to go again.

Margarita flight was delish!!! We shared the sampler which was chips, salsa, guac, and queso!! Got the birria taco, barbacoa taco, and shrimp taco! All the flavors were great! Because we went up for my birthday they gave a free dessert (not pictured) and I chose the tres leches cake which I don’t have words for!

Wow!! The food is so flavorful, the best tacos I've had in the USA. The Al Pastor, carnitas and shrimp tacos specifically were amazing! Then there is the pitcher of any flavor margarita, so good. Loved the shareable plates. Had a great time, definitely going to be a regular spot for me and the family.
