Food items are small which means you can mix & match to your heart's content. The Baja Fish Taco is amazing, but so is every other item I tried. Fresh food ; great service!

Sasha Naomi

The guacamole is one to remember! Amazing! My favorite taco was definitely the pork belly but they were all so good! One of the best margaritas I've tasted (sugar no salt) try the pomegranate too.

Cole T

Tacos are small and delectable, the guac is spicy and creamy, the margaritas are other worldly. This expensive chain becomes a nightclub come 9PM on the weekend. A great dining option in WeHa.

Colleen

Kind of obsessed. The plantains are delish and their margaritas are top shelf - a bit sour and all kinds of wonderful. Highly recommend the chocolate tamales with coconut gelato for dessert .

Anastasia

OMG! This place is the bomb! The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly . Fish , oyster , duct and pork tacos and margarita were phenomenal!

Megan Cassidy

If you're into sweet cocktails , the Sashito is amazing. Fruity and smooth. The chocolate tamale is essentially molten chocolate cake , pretty good, not great. Chorizo tacos are my personal favorite.

Angela Quental

Came in yesterday for tacos ; had the chicken , chorizo , and falafel , and all three were great. The atmosphere was nice, too; will definitely come back again.

Maya P

Delicious guacamole and the lobster taco was the best thing I've eaten in a long time. I'll definitely be back. Mandy is the sweetest waitress you'll meet!

Andy Gastauer

Pork belly tacos and mojitos are awesome. Try the port Chester if you like gin .

Pork belly tacos are amazing. Carnitas and duck tacos are meh.

Chocolate tamale is to die for! Loved the ambiance. Order several tacos in advance if you have a large group.

The pork tacos were very good. If you order tuna poké , ask them to go easy on the soy sauce . Had to send it back since we couldn't taste the fish .

Hillary Federico

Great atmosphere, but the prices are a little steep for the amount and quality of the food. Fill out a questionnaire when you get your check and get a token for a free taco !

Matt Pelletier

The pork belly taco . I may have had a spiritual experience at the first bite.

Heather Bellobuono-Cassidy

Amazing tacos ! Try something wild like fried oyster or boar . Everything is good!

Saarim Zaman

Come with a group and share the large taco platter. The corn side is also ????

Teddy Lu

Cool place, great staff , ok food. Got the sesame steak rice bowl . Only got 3 small pieces of meat and a ton of rice . It was underwhelming. Guac was ok, nothing special. Pork tamales were dry. Fried o

Pork tamale with the green chile sauce is sooooo good!

Foods good. Get the curry shrimp and spicy chorizo taco

Maybe the stupidest service experience in history. I left thinking I was on a prank show. Food is good. Service is ridiculous. Thank me later.

Oyster tacos and a pacifico . Easy!

Try the corn on the cob. It's buttery with spices and cheese .

Great to have live music every Sunday 5-8pm while you eat/drink.
