Alijah Edwards, greeted us with a big smile and a warm hello! He made some amazing suggestions on the menu for our staff lunch meeting. During our visit he continued to make sure we felt comfortable and welcomed. Food was amazing. I would highly recommend if you need an out of the office lunch break and space to meet try this amazing taco bar.

Heard a lot of good comments bout this lil spot so had to stop by and check it out myself. So on Wednesday they have $1.00 street tacos and $1.00 draft beer during the day… and it just so happens to be a Wednesday when I popped in!!! Awww yeahhhh winner winner!!! Okay let’s get on to the food…. Yes I have the street taco’s the fajita- soooo delicious also ordered the six layer dip & chips. Also my fiancé had a few beers and I had a strawberry margarita which was also on point. The manager and all the staff were so friendly and made sure our visit was perfect which it was… lol forgive my pic of the six layer dip I was really hungry and completely forgot to take the pic before…

Last minute decision to come here & it was the Best!! Make sure to pay attention to how spicy the tacos are! Had blackened chicken & beef fajita with fried green beans. There was indoor/outdoor seating. Atmosphere was enjoyable!

Good, I love the tortillas, meat had great flavor. It is a Lil spicy but I like spicy. I enjoyed it overall. I had the Birria tacos.

Drinks were really good, bartender was great. The link to order from your table is really bad- I would recommend ordering straight from the counter. They were out of a lot of stuff. Food was good but overall wasn’t the best experience for me. Great place if you want fast food and very casual.

Sorry but wasn’t really a fan of this. These are fusion tacos. Too much going on yet oddly bland at the same time. I couldn’t taste the mac n Cheese in my taco. I think the taco shells kind of drown out the flavors. I thought the beans would be kind of sweet but they weren’t. I didn’t like them. Cilantro rice bland. Wasnt a fan of the cheese sticks either. The consistency was like the cheap cheese slices in the plastic wrapping from the grocery store rolled up battered and fried. I won’t return but I think others might like their food. If you like fusion tacos give em a try.

Our #adventurechallenge date took us to a new place we’ve never been and required us to order employee recommendations.

The food was DELICIOUS, but the service was lacking. The front door was locked, and the server offered no apologies when he let us in (several minutes later)— just said that no one there knew how to unlock it?! Also, several items were left off our order and it took a long time to get them returned, with no apology for the mistake. Finally, menu items were misnamed on the menu boards (specifically the soups), and the server argued with us when asked to clarify. So… great food, but I suggest ordering take-out (and checking your order before you leave!)

New management came in and the service here is just bad and it’s just a hit or miss now. Female bartender is rude, has an attitude and needs more training on how to make drinks. Tacos are soggy, and filled with water.. are they are just microwaving frozen meat now? We used to LOVE this place and we’re regulars.. every Sunday. Unfortunately, not anymore.

Now under new management. 3 shrimp on the Cartel Shrimp Bowl , where there used to be six. I have to go pick up my food, when they used to bring it to me. Napkin dispensers instead of paper towels. Red salsa instead of green. The overall flavor of the rice in the shrimp bowl is hot rather than tangy.
