Order Tacos ! Eat the Pastor taco first, moving from the sweet to the spicier Short Rib , because taco-eating seems to be a science. And did we mention the tacos are only $3? Read more

Try the red headed stranger it’s a bourbon and cayenne pepper drink, garnished with candied ginger , a treat for the experienced craft-cocktail drinker. Read more

The margaritas are perfect with one or two of their delicious tacos . The chips and queso are a must.

Phoenix Jimenez

Tacos are amazing. Rajas & Mole are my favorites. Queso is very rich and flavorful! One of the best meals I've ever had.

Ryan Edge

The tacos were good albeit small, so you'll definitely need to get at least 3. Other than the ingredients being ultra fresh and the drinks, I see no reason to choose here over Picante .

Ian

Tacos are small but incredibly delicious. I’d recommend the fish and al pastor . Margs are really good

Bring your USB phone charger and check out the USB ports under the bar next to each purse hook.

Chris Konecny

Cool place. Real tacos . Good salads . Local drafts

Will Hunt

The tacos are good but the tiny size of the tortilla is a joke! It isn't nearly big enough to hold what's inside and ends up a squished mess.

Amanda Ogden

chorizo in the queso with a margarita is the perfect Sunday afternoon snack
