    Probably the best taco I’ve ever had. Our server was knowledgeable and passionate. They accommodated us moving up our reservation. The drinks were amazing and I still dream about the carne asada taco. 11/10 would go back in a heartbeat.

    It’s refreshing that this level of customer service still exists. Starting off with the hostess, she was incredible. Very welcoming, very polite and was willing to make a minor adjustment to our preferred seating section. The bartenders were also incredible. I left it in their hands to make a recommendation and I was appreciative that they didn’t try to sell me a $100 shot of tequila. They gave me something middle of the road that was incredible.

    Definitely glad we made reservations! It was Christmas night and super busy! Our server was great. Food was good, got a Carnitas taco and it was gushy and had no pork taste. We decided it was pot roast not carnitas! Very disappointed. The white rice was interesting, never seen that at a Mexican restaurant before. Beans were good. The other taco I had was delicious! I think it was called the Gringo. I will go back just for that taco!! Overall it was a good night! We will be back
