Really yummy and unique tacos. They also have elote in a CUP. Why is that so hard to find? So much easier to eat and less messy. Fish taco is to die for and carnitas, as well as chicken. All good and good drinks and service.

So many options that I just wanted to like it more, but in reality, probably just the surf and turf was better than average. Had to figure out which taco was lamb, by process of elimination. Dry, dry fish tacos. Nice selection of beers on tap. Wait for cooler months if you go the ductless AC is overwhelmed by that excessive Esco summer heat. The pollo and lobster were very minimal meat as well.

Purchased 4 tacos, all of them are so good. I went ahead and ordered an extra one. The Chili Relleno is my favorite of the 4.

Update: Their posted hours, both here and on Yelp, state that they are open til 9PM. You might want to call before you head down. I stopped in last night, for Taco Tuesday, at 8:38. They had already put all the chairs on the tables, and I was told that the cooks were already closing the kitchen down. Really disappointing. If they want to close at 8:30 instead of 9, that’s up to them, but they should change their posted hours so people are aware of it.

Girlfriends to be there for the first time yesterday. I had chicken taco and eggplant taco . These were the best tacos I ever had. I would have never thought to put these combinations together but they work and they were delicious.
