Absolutely worth the hype. Best tacos in Phoenix, hands down. Loved that they brought my takeout to my car and even took my card there. Definitely the spot to impress friends with some killer Mexican food.

Horrible service, the server had a bad attitude. Food was good, but since we got there everything turned bad with her attitude. Never again

The food was very soggy and the salsa looked like jell-O. I would not recommend this place. The service was nonexistent. I went into the restaurant and nobody came to help me. it was a waste of my $42 for my two items.

The food and service was so good. I had a Bowl with shrimp, rice and beans, onions and peppers. I cleaned my bowl. So that's saying a lot because I never clean the plate. Atmosphere was very chill. Great for families.

$90 for 6 tacos and a coca cola. The room they put us in was extremely hot and it took them 25 minutes to turn the AC on for us after we requested. The waitress took forever to take our order. I had to ask 4 times for a refill of my soda then she brought me the wrong drink. She didn't give me what I asked for when I ordered and set it up to charge me more. Why does everything have to come as a taco, burrito, or quesadilla? Very Odd. The rice was not mexican style and had no flavor. The tacos were all lettuce/cabbage with little sprinkles of meat. The chips were very cheap quality. Very rude while we were making our orders and when we were paying. She made sure to circle the tip area on the receipt to swindle an additional tip from me without telling any of us that there was an automatic 20% tip included. The service was absolutely terrible. Our section was not checked on or serviced. This is a mexican restaurant for white people who don't know better and people who want a cool atmosphere for social media pictures. This restaurant is solely in it for the money and will try to squeeze as much money from you as they can for their sub par mexican food. All fillings and no meat. If you are a mexican expecting traditional mexican dishes prepared the way they are in mexico then go somewhere else. The food was a washed down flavorless mess of tortilla, lettuce, and salsa. The portions were fit for people with stomachs the size of a golf ball. There are plenty of better mexican restaurants that give better quality food. There are plenty of places with far superior service. If you eat here there's a fair chance you will leave feeling cheated. I do not recommend. Avoid at all costs.

Food was delicious I had the Baja tiger shrimp as a cazuela. The margarita we ordered didn't have much tequila in it from what I could taste but other than that the service was great and it is a very beautiful space.

I walked out. Only two people as the waitstaff. Finally our order was taken and the waitress didn't know if they cooked seafood separately from chicken or steak. I am allergic to seafood, so that worried me. We placed our orders and 45 minutes later, we still did not even get a glass of water. It was a shame as this place came very highly recommended. Neighborhood is questionable. I am giving one star for the atmosphere and art.

It was our first time there and it came recommended by a fellow business owner. I can't rate the food unfortunately because we never got any. We didn't even get a water. We had to wait in line to get in. We were seated. Got a bowl of chips I did enjoy the salsa bar, except for the teeny tiny containers, but it was almost 45 minutes and they hadn't brought our food so we walked out and will never go back. It's too bad because the atmosphere was very enjoyable.

Quesas and La Santísima Specialty were delicious. Also enjoyed the Mamacita Margarita. My quest continues for the best cochinita pibil in the city, I would not order it again from here. Enjoyed the salsa bar, the swings and the bean dip appetizer. Our waitress was great, Mariama.

Best tacos in Phoenix! The blueberry marg with Cazadores blanco is delightful for a spring/summer beverage

We love the salsa bar, especially the pecan salsa, mexicana salsa, and crema de cilantro. Service was a little slow, too many tables per waitress. Tacos were great. We loved the specialty taco

VERY cute atmosphere with an equally cool store. I wish I could rate the actual place higher but service was poor. May have just been understaffed in the kitchen but food took an hour 15 to get to our table after ordering. Would try again at a less busy moment.
