The flavors were all really tasty but some of the meats were a bit over-cooked and it's very pricey for the amount of food given. If you want to splurge go for it but if not go to a taco shop !
Try the Michelada . It's the best! You get Tecate beer in a fishbowl with a spicy salted rim, Worcestershire sauce , bitters (I think) and some V8. Delicious!
Very packed during happy hour ! No joke! Try to RSVP. Also tofu taco was ok and blueberry jalapeño margarita was good!
Brazil bowl with carne asada !!! You can't go wrong! Oh and the make their own jalapeno infused taquilla! !!
Amazing food. The guacamole is to die for. Tamales are delicious, as are the carnitas tacos .
They have the best Blackberry Jalapeño Marguaritas ever..! Only reason to go :) food was good as well . Kinda pricy for a Mex place.
Try the cucumber appetizer . An unconventional and delightful snack .
Taco Tuesday offers so many delicious varieties of tacos a la carte for $2.99-$3.50. Good vegetarian taco options too.

Try the Brazilian Bowl !! Loved it!! Love everything about the place actually! Small, cozy , and colorful!! Perfect!!
The guac order is tiny, not worth the money. Tacos are awesome. Get them a la carte for best value.
$2.99-3.50 tacos all night after 5 for Taco Tuesdays !
Quite the fan of pomegranate margarita minus the mint ! Great stuff!
Great food. But they no longer have bottomless mimos for brunch ????
fresh tacos , good service , great price for quality
Tamale dish was delish. Margaritas yummy. Mike the bartender , our waitress and Paul the owner were all super friendly and welcoming. Enjoy!!
Get the appetizer : Plantain carnitas !
Taco Tuesday tacos . Not bad but nothing to write home about. I'd give it a 6 1/2 out of 10. Staff was nice and we were seated quickly without a reservation . You don't get much for your money.
Happy hour is good, a little loud , not a bad time at all.
Get the flight!
Try the Power Breakfast , Kale Egg Whites And Brown Rice With Tapatio
Good food, Sergio is a great waiter . Ask to sit in his section
Amazing chicken taco . Worth every penny. They were stuffed with chicken and packed with flavor!! Loved it.
the steak tacos are the best for me... they will let you mix and match too so might as well try 3 different ones ;]
Brazil Bowl ? You betcha. Probably the coconut rice . It's delicious.
Best Mexican food in town . Tortilla soup & chicken tacos were authentic & delicious.
Authentic Margaritas and tacos , but with an SD flare and price tag.
Margaritas are awsome!
The bartender Mike was engaging and nice... and the jalepeno blackberry margarita he makes is super delicious :)

Delicious margaritas and tacos
There's a chile relleno on the special menu, which I hear to be very delicious. Make sure to ask about it!
Good margarita-not that great if device
Vegan Chorizo Tacos ! My favorite!
Ask Mike for the difference between tequila 's and try jalapenio margharita !
Mmm! Tofu tacos : so good!
Shoestring plantains a bit lackluster
Fresh strawberry banana margarita for the win!!
The chicken torta is amaze-balls.
Omg the Soy Chorizo Scramble is UH-MAY-ZING!
the blood orange margarita was heavenly, and strong!
Tortillas are crackin! Pomegranate margaritas are the truth!
hand pressed tortillas ! Enough said.
It's not over price like people think.... Considering the quality of service and food it's worth every cent.
They now carry Don Julio 1942. I recommend as desert .
Cavan is the best!
Sunday brunch is definitely worth the price! Our waiter Chris was amazing! - Abe Torrico
