   We were there for the $35 bottomless tacos, flight of 3 mini margaritas, chips, guacamole and 2 salsas. $35 pp...not bad if you ask me. Tacos were ok nothing special. Margaritas were pretty good. Ambiance was laid back. Server was great. How it works...servers come around with trays of tacos every 10 - 15 min or so. Different types of tacos are served. Definitely interesting and different.

   Food was VERY cold. Its a non-authentic take on tacos. Drinks were a little watered down too.

   Overall, a fun experience and a good value! However, Taco Tuesday didn't quite live up to expectations. OpenTable stated tacos are served until 10, but the restaurant stopped making them around 9. They advertise unlimited tacos with the chance to try all varieties, but we served a total of 8 tacos and only got to try 6 of the 12 available.

   It was a busy night, due to a private party in the back room, as well as Margarita Day specials. We had a nice server.

   Poor service due to other event going on that night with staff attending to other tables. Waited 30-40 min just for drinks.

   The customer service was bad the waitress and the bartender had attitudes (not very pleasant), the food was mediocre, the drinks were absolutely terrible and the music was extremely loud. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Terrible

   I heard about the bottomless tacos they offered on Tuesdays and made a reservation asap, but the earliest one available was 9:30pm. No prob. My friends and I show up on time, and were told we need to pay a $10 per person cover. Nothing about that was mentioned on the website. Fine. We paid it. We get to our seats and order, turns out the bottomless taco deal ended an hour ago (even though the sign outside was still promoting it.) The food and drinks were very good but pricey. Our waitress was very kind and also seemed puzzled why we were charged the cover fee. It was disappointing we didn’t get to have what we went there for.

    Be aware that this restaurant has a covered patio area, which was freezing. My party declined to sit there and was told that we would have to wait a few minutes for a table inside. Note that the open table description states that parties are going to be seated inside with the reservation. This turned into a 35 min wait. When I approached the hostess to discuss my displeasure, a manager jumped in and was dismissive and unapologetic. Another manager did find a table for our party and apologized. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. The tacos were mostly ok, with a couple of stand outs. The bang bang shrimp/cauliflower and the poke tuna were my favorites. Friends enjoyed the tofu tacos and the jerk chicken tacos as well. The margaritas were just ok. For the price of the bottomless tacos, it was a good value. The highlight of the evening was a Latin dance lesson and open dance that occurred at the end of the night. It was a really fun atmosphere and everyone was having a great time. It’s unfortunate that we had a rocky start to our evening.
