We went and service was quick! The barbacoa tacos were very good and flavorful they and a good selection of interesting beers. Our nachos were a different story though, they had no flavor and the chips were burnt. Although the presentation was amazing, they were just not good and needed seasoning. Probably won't go back.

Beer is good, but service needs work and employees need better training.

The quality of tacos is lacking and doesn't match up with the price, sadly. $6-$8 bucks for a smallish, sub-par taco?! The barbacoa was more like a sloppy joe: messy, sloppy, and seasoned more like taco meat. Went mid-week during their "1/2 off lunch tacos, 12 to 1pm" special and got 4 tacos and 2 beers with my bf. We ordered during the 12pm-1pm time frame, but since he closed his tab after 1pm, we're thinking that's why the 1/2 lunch price wasn't honored? He paid full price, total being $48 incl'd tax and 10% tip. Pretty irked that the server didn't think to mention that to us or honor the price. We're both price conscientious and 50% off is a huge factor considering the tacos are not that great. You can get tastier tacos literally ANYWHERE else in Tucson for what their "lunch special" price is.With that said, the server is really nice, (we should have gone back to ask how it was charged but didn't want to inconvenience her)... great ambiance, good vibes, beautiful day. Really cool spot! I just don't remember the food being that bad and honestly I went back this 3rd time just for the vibes and bc the bf wanted to go. Sadly, can't afford to eat there anymore!

My wife, dogs and I came in here no less than three separate times during our week stay in Tucson. It's a great spot! Nice shaded courtyard, plenty of good beers, a taco/burger truck, and fine to bring your own food! This was key for us since there were many places in town we wanted to try that don't allow dogs. So, just grab to go and come here! The tacos are great and not to be missed. We kept coming back to try everything. Can't wait to visit next time we're in town!

The dulce vanilla beer was quite good, considering I'm more of a sour guy, but they were out when I arrived. Indoor seating fairly limited. Parking also limited. It wasn't clear to me whether it was allowable to park in front of the other businesses that are nearby, even if they've closed for the day.Parking: I think there were 6 spots in front and another 2 in the back. Spots in front of other businesses might be usable, but unsure.

I love this spot, but over the last several months the quality of the food has dropped and the price is just doesn’t match the quality of the food. The nachos specifically are a joke. They’re charging market prices without providing the quality that drives the market. It’s frustrating and more lazy UofA standards.

I hardly leave reviews but I feel compelled to let you know that the food has really gone downhill. I used to love this place but the last two times the food has been awful and very expensive. Check out these $18 cheeseless nachos I had to send back. The shrimp tacos were ok, but both my son and I had horrible stomachaches the next day. Tucson has a lot of great places to eat, skip this one.

Really awesome place. They have two locations. They both have great outdoor spaces and both and pet friendly. We really enjoyed the one downtown. Their food truck has amazing food, great tacos, burgers and fries. They offer beer, mixed drinks, and seltzers. The host different events so def check their site for their upcoming events!

The tacos are pretty ok and a lot of the beers are flavored but there was a pretty good IPA. The dessert was not good at all. Nice outdoor seating and the staff are cool. I might return to try some other things.

Cool chill hang with good food. Wife says the drinks are good as well. Parking can be a challenge.

Love it here!! Such a great place to catch up with friends over drinks. Bartender with the curly hair and earrings was so personable and fun. She really went above and beyond. Great costumer service from everyone.
