I like this place! Waitress was so kind. The food was really good! This was my first time here, definitely will be back. The parking can be tricky if its a pack parking lot, other than that awesome restaurant!

First time here but definitely not the last! Awesome beautiful fun ambiance, great music, super friendly quick service and the food is BOMB!!!!! My favorite tacos were shrimp (with peach salsa!), carnitas, and fried mushroom. Plus they did a fun Barbie brunch and the tacos came on pink tortillas. The tres leches cake for dessert was glorious — also pink!

Everything we ate was outstanding. We ordered the Cartelote, single birria taco, and then mix and match tacos (Pastor, Carne Asada, Tofu Tostada, Shrimp, Chicken Tinga, and Mushroom). Service was excellent. Blaze was our waiter and provided wonderful recommendations. Everyone there was helpful, filling drinks, clearing plates, etc. we will absolutely be coming back soon!

Everything was excellent. Try the frozen margarita. It’s not too sweet and was perfect. The Birria tacos were definitely award worthy.

This place is super cute and they even have outside seating! Margaritas are strong and pretty. My waitress was sweet and attentive. Food left a little to be desired. Bland seasoning and the salsa had a sweet taste. I’ll return and try something else on the menu.

One of the places I like that is much similar to Mexican food. I ordered some Birria Tacos, they were very good and big. Very Satisfied with the food, the service is good but they can improve it. Maybe because I went in 5 de Mayo and was very full that day.

Such a nice spot for cute photo-ops and to have food/drinks with some friends! I came here when they opened for the day and was not that hungry but still wanted to grab something small to eat with a friend visiting from out of town. I ordered the shrimp cocktail, and it was soooo good! Service was even better!! I love the decor, ambiance, and vibes this place has. I cannot wait to return to try more food and drinks! Highly recommend

Feels like a place that should be closer to a busier area than where it’s now located. Very modern and clean decor. Food was decent for the price at lunch. The Wednesday ladies drink special that my wife got tasted like bottom-bottom shelf and a little weak but for $5 she said she can’t complain too much. Service was great.
