Really good tacos! Chicken Tinga and Pork Belly were fantastic. Not a lot of seating so come early.

The service and flavor was just lacking. I had the chorizo burrito and wanted the shrimp taco but they were out of shrimp, so I got the grilled fish taco. I did enjoy the

We dine here frequently. The food and drinks are top notch. The out door dining area is so nice during cooler weather & at night. We did recently visit and found hair in our meal. Hair nets may help solve this. It was a rather long strand and mixed into the taco itself.

My husband and I decided all we felt like was an appetizer so we ordered the "Puffy Tacos", delicious! They came with tater tots which to me was odd, I wasn't a fan but my husband was. The tacos were so crispy and light, not heavy at all. We topped it off with a margarita, top shelf of course. We got a little froggy and decided to try the home version of the frozen margarita and was not disappointed! All in all a nice small but filling meal, it was happy hour and the chips and salsa were complimentary. Our bartender was sweet but quite involved with a friend sitting at the bar so she wasn't as attentive as I would have liked.

I absolutely loved this place! The food came out so quick and tasted fantastic! Fresh Mexican food at its best! Also the service was excellent. I can’t wait to go back!

Came here on a vacation stop through Mobile. Place was clean with plenty of seating. You order your food at the register and they bring to you. The lady was nice and made recommendations. I ordered the Birria tacos with refried beans and rice. The tacos were really good, but the sauce was kinda lacking. Their rice was also good. They were out do chicken nuggets, so we ordered a deconstructed taco for my son. It was nice that they were able to do that for him. The meat was delicious. Not too salty and my som seemed to enjoy it. Overall, I think this is a nice little stop if you're in town, or even if you live there. Their food and customer service were good.

Stopped here on a whim. The food was ok, but the ordering was a bit odd. There is really no table service.

Tacos are solid. I really like the shrimp taco. The sauce on them was great, it was a chipotle mayo like sauce that really goes well with the shrimp. I also recommend ordering some nachos.

Would not call this Mexican food. The worst I have ever eaten. The salsa was nothing more than tomato sauce/paste with a little bit of hot sauce. If I was the owner I would be embarrassed!

Very friendly and accommodating. Unable to eat their guacamole and the red sauce because they put cilantro, and I'd have a bad reaction to it. They also put roasted corn in the food (which I dislike), but they had no problem omitting that as well and substituted with black beans ( which was a great added flavor ?) I would highly recommend having your lunch or dinner on their outside patio.

Another delicious dining experience in downtown Mobile. The restaurant is pretty casual and has a solid menu of choices. All the dishes and ingredients taste really fresh...can't wait to try more menu items!

Giving 5 stars for friendly staff, good food and a great margarita! Second visit here while having a brief stay in Mobile. The handmade corn tortillas are a real treat, and great for those of us needing to avoid regular wheat flour. The reasons I'm giving food 4 stars instead of 5: 1) The portions are small, even for the rice and beans included. I would rather pay more to get a satisfying food platter though the food is really good. 2) For the second time, the chips under the nachos are a little oily--heat not hot enough when frying maybe? As with the first visit, we worked around the chips that were too oily and left about 1/4 on the platter. I would still go back here--we will just change how we order next time.Vegetarian options: They're willing to hold the queso and finishing cheese on the beans if you explain what you need.
