Amazing food, they have a taco special on Tuesday, $2 off all tacos as well as a lunch special- 2 tacos and a salad or rice and beans for $15. You can not go wrong! Try the barbaccoa taco, they were my favorite of the ones we tried. The street corn is served off the cob, it was delicious!! Great staff, wonderful drinks too!Parking: If you can't find a street spot at a meter, there is a paid lot on the back side of the same block.

I went to this shop in night time with friend. I order two margaritas. The drinks are okay, but the waitress is not good service. Her face not smile not welcome, like someone force her come to work. I think this not okay for me and my friend. We are customers. So, Me and my friend should get good service as well same other customers. I try to notice went the waitress go to talk with another customer. She only talk nice, smile with the boy customers. That all what I see on her.

Great selection of tequila and the cocktails were top notch, along with the service. Not every bartender enjoys their job but you can tell the staff here is really happy, which showed through their friendliness and the drinks they made. I loved this place and will definitely be back again!

Amazing food, all of the tacos and the meat was delicious. Our waiter offered up fantastic drink recommendations and suggestions throughout the evening and was even very kind with our toddler. I wish I had caught our waiter's name. Anyway, fantastic evening, thank you!!

This place felt soooooo comfortable. The tacos were ALL out of this world! Barbacoa, carnitas & Baja fish tacos were our favorite. I loved the design & the style of the place. A hidden gem of Honolulu!

Food was overpriced and mediocre.Tacos are 6 dollars now. Tortillas are not made in house.For the price I’d expect some really good tacos with homemade tortillas , friendlier staff, expensive rent or something to justify the cost.Maybe the drinks are good?

Tried their taco tuesday. The stars are for ambiance amd friendliness. The staff is super nice. The place is lively. Drinks tasty but bartenders stingy with their pour. However if I could rate their tacos only, I'd say maybe a 3 would be pushing it. I got the ground beef taco and the meat is subpar, the seasoning is nothing to brag about. I also tried the battered fish taco. The worst experience. The fish was old and smelly. It had lost its consistency even. I think they figured if it's battered and fried people would not notice. But Gordon would have thrown the fish on the garbage. Still 4* for restaurant since they have a lot of other food I didn't try.

Two stars are for the killer mezcal selection. Was really excited to try some super cool, unique mezcals but was disappointed by the total lack of service. The bartender barely made eye contact the entire time we were there. Felt like we had offended him. Cool space but really disappointing service.
