First, when walking in, they ask me how many I say 2. They tell me to wait a minute as the table is getting cleaned, but how do two separate two sets of people come in behind us and are immediately directed to tables. I had a burrito bowl and was not impressed at all, I couldn’t even compare it to the one I usually get at the Taco Libre food truck in Middleton, which is absolutely DELISH and CHEAPER.

Been to the swampscott location three times. Two out of three they were closed 30 mins before their advertised hours. The one time I did have dinner, it was ceviche. It tasted off, I didn’t eat it and the bartender told me it was probably because of the cilantro???? I went home and was sick.

Honestly i hate talking bad about people or places but this place makes it hard for me not to. First out of beverages and another they served me raw steak and then brought another steak and it almost cold. Really come on get real chefs in the kitchen … i would not recommend this place.

Best food I’ve had in a long time! Great staff, beautiful atmosphere, well stocked bar. Nothing more you could ask for. Prices were pretty great too. I’d highly recommend going. The free salsa and chips is even good. Not one bad thing to say!!

Very pricey. Tasty though. Non existent server. Very, very hard to get his attention and it wasn’t even busy.

Chuck Blanchette

I ordered a burrito bowl. It was underwhelming. A little bit of tiny chicken strips, little to know lettuce, and most of all cold. I picked it up 10 minutes before estimated pickup time. Asked for extra guacamole and sour cream, received 4 salsas.
