Great drinks, cider, and decent selection of tequila! Hearty fried chips will stand up to their very fresh guacamole and spicy salsa. Our pork taco was cute on its on wooden serving board, the salad with chicken is always generous, but on our most recent visit, the meats were dry and bland. Better next time, I'm sure. Service is friendly and easy going, atmosphere is super casual. Good spot for a quick bite or time out with friends and family.

The short rib and rib eye tacos are my favorites but the menu changes every few months so if you love it, get it while you can. The red salsa is sooo good too!

I came here a few Saturdays ago with a group of 8. We made reservations just in case but there was plenty of seating. We came in at 11:00am. There was also parking right up front. First off, the service was amazing! I wish I knew the servers name because he was patient, courteous and helpful. Everything that was ordered between all of us was delicious from the food to the drinks. I personally ordered the Chorizo Con Huevo. It came with refried beans and potatoes. I also got a side of tortillas. The tortillas were soooo good! The dish was cooked perfectly and had a nice season to it. The potatoes were soft but also had a slight crisp to them. I also got the bottomless mimosas. Mango, guava and orange flavored. Every time I was about to finish one our server came with a filled one. I tried some of my friends birria tacos as well and those were amazing. The whole experience was great. I will definitely be back.

This place is really good. I like them because they always update their menu. My friend and I sat at the bar and Noē was our bartender and his customer service was amazing and very friendly and helpful with the menu and all the questions we were asking him very knowledgeable. We had some fish tacos with pineapple grilled slices. They were so flavorful and so good. They have a very good variety of mezcal that was very good! I liked that the other waitress were even helping us and very kind. Try the micheladas they are so good too. Check them out you will definitely not be disappointed. It's clean and very welcoming they also have a patio. I'm going again next week

Food was very good. Service lacked in attention. Had to ask for water 3 times and for the check 2 times on a slow day. I had to wait at least half an hour after the first ask of water. I was finally able to get water and a check after going to the bar. Inside was a bit cold, but was well lit and had a cool design.

I love this place. The food is very good and I usually get a bunch of tacos. I mix and match them and it makes for a bunch better dining experience. The service is pretty good for my mom and Pop. It's really nice to know that people live locally and they take pride and interest in their community and they do a really good job here all of our needs were met. They have indoor outdoor seating usually because it's better for me and I can enjoy the fresh air and have a fantastic dinner On the menu is good for me, I'm not picky about my tacos, but I'll tell you these guys make it very interesting and I'll keep coming back. I've started using limes and lemons and I'll tell you it just brings out the flavor of the Barbacoa. I recommend going here and I will be back on my usual Thursday night

As soon as you walk into this place you can tell something is wrong. I started coughing like crazy and my wife told me, it was because they were cooking chilies but didn't turn on the smoke extractor over the range. Then after we ordered our food, our drinks were delivered. My wife's coffee was cold and my beer ( a wheat ale ) came in a 10 to 12-oz glass instead of the normal 16-oz pint. Later when we got our food, they tried to pass my wife in her food a tortilla instead of the tamale advertised in the menu. Normally we wouldn't have a problem with it if the waiter told us that they made a mistake and tried to fix it. Instead, our waiter told us that they ran out of tamales so the "chef" decided to use a tortilla as a replacement. This is when we started getting pissed and realized that this place is just scamming unsuspecting customers. Me and my wife worked before in restaurants so we tend to notice details with the food. And this place is just not right. Besides being overpriced for a Mexican restaurant. It just doesn't have the charismatic and friendly atmosphere of a regular taqueria.

Quesabirrias are fantastic, and the beer selection is amazing
