David Schwartz

Pretty cool place, nice outdoor seating (they have heaters and will provide you with blankets when its cold). Fun menu but Tacos are one-biters so order lots of them. Good Guac and fun drink menu.

You can't really go wrong with any of the tacos , but the ribeye , spicy chorizo , pork belly , and portobello are some of my favorites. On average, 3/person should be enough.

Eileen

Pork belly taco was my favorite. I liked that it was slightly crispy . Wash it down with a spicy margarita , extra spicy . Duck and sesame ribeye were good but less memorable

Becca Hampton

The black bean salad , the corn , the pineapple , and the cauliflower taco are all must-haves. THE freshest ingredients . 1-2 tacos is plenty if you're getting sides as well .

Kathryn McKinley

The tacos were great! If you're hungry, I'd recommend getting 3 because they are small. Also, the grilled corn is fantastic. I'd go back just for the corn !

Falafel taco and cauliflower taco I'm a huge fan of cauliflower anything ???? chips and guacamole to share

Maggie MacG

Tapas style , small portions but good. The plantains and the falafel tacos were my favs. The small guacamole is small, so just get the large.

Duck and Pork belly tacos are amazing! The place is expensive though, a margarita cost $10.50 and tacos are $3.50 each.
