They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
First Visit and Loved it. Our Server was amazing—so warm, welcoming, friendly, kind, helpful. Lovely Vibe and the music was great! Tamarind Margarita was the bomb! Carnitas Taco and Birria Taco were decent—nothing special, but good. Sad I forgot to get the photo of our Tacos! Got distracted! Guacamole was fresh but lacked flavor and we only got a small soup cup for $8 HH price. My friend enjoyed the Fish Taco, not so much the Veg Taco. The bartender was gracious to make a Red Sangria which my friend enjoyed. Chips and Salsa was very good and there’s 2 extra hot sauces they brought for us to try 👏 I’ll def go again and rec you give this place a try.
I’m honestly not one to write reviews, but I had such a great experience here that I felt like I had to. From the moment we walked in, the service was really good. All of the staff was great! Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed the entire time. The margaritas and specialty drinks were so good and incredibly creative. You can tell they put a lot of thought into them, and they tasted just as amazing as they looked. The food was just as impressive. I loved everything I ordered, and so did my family. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and came out perfectly. What really made the experience even better was the manager on duty. I believe her name was Jayleen. She was very attentive, friendly, and welcoming, and she went out of her way to check on us and make sure we were having a great time. You could tell she truly cared, and that level of hospitality made a huge difference. Overall, I’m very satisfied. I had such a great time with my family, loved everything, and I will definitely be going back. Highly recommend!
Came here to celebrate my birthday with my sister. I loved everything about this restaurant, except the food. We didn't get a full plate, we just ordered a bunch of the appetizers. The guacamole was insane! Top notch! The rest was just ok. Chicken taquitos, tacos de papa and fish ceviche. The drinks were perfect and the service was excellent. I will be going back. Maybe for the brunch or a date night. Fully recommend this place and order the margarita flight.
The food was incredible! I got the carnitas taco plate and the food was delicious I am very picky with my beans but these were so tasty. I also got the tamarindo, sandía and candy shot. All were delicious but the candy shot has a predominant jalapeño taste that wasn’t my favorite but if you love jalapeño it is right up your alley! I would recommend you try it out!! My coworkers and I will be coming back to celebrate their anniversary :)!
Beautiful!!! It was our (my mom, my younger brother, and me) first time here. We came here for Tuesday Brunch around 11 am, just when the place opened and it’s been a nice atmosphere with people slowly trickling in for lunch. It was our pleasant surprise to discover it was also Taco Tuesday today! Chips and salsa are provided as you decide on what to eat We asked our waiter what the best dishes would be and we got the following: *small guacamole ($8 because of Happy Hour, originally ~$13) - not needed unless you’re Crazy for guacamole *ceviche campechano - a wonderful appetizer, supposedly better than the ceviche de pescado *fajita steak - good for sharing with family *four tacos ($4 each because of happy hour, you can choose between flour or corn tortillas) - two fish tacos (flour) and two birria tacos (corn) We got to take leftovers home. Thank you for an outstanding meal and service!!! God bless you all. I appreciate the variety of foods, presentation, and intentionality of it all.
