Went on a Friday and had a great time. I don't know when they added vegan options to their menu, but I'm so glad they did! I had the vegan enchiladas which were good with a nice kick. My husband had three veggie tacos, some he had to request no cheese, but they were really yummy (cauliflower, beet, forget the 3rd one). Drinks were good and Happy Hour goes late! Biggest surprise-The DJ was really great! I would've been dancing if I wasn't eating. Don't believe these times listed-they didn't close at 10pm!!Vegetarian options: Veggie tacos (4 I think), vegan burrito, vegan enchiladas

Would have loved to try because I heard good things and I’m in the area, spent 20 minutes on dial tone because no one would answer, and when someone did pickup I was told I needed to give her a minute with an attitude, after I just gave her 20, I managed a restaurant and a phone call for one thing at 3:00 shouldn’t be much of a problem but service isnt at the forefront.

Cute place for a clean taco and fresh guacamole.

Food is pretty good, service is great but I was there on a slower night so not sure if that changes. Rice is definitely one of the best I've had but you can taste the butter in it. Didn't try any drinks. Worth going to again for sure.

Great taco place, and they have a clean and well maintained place. Service was fast and friendly and the food was reasonably priced.We were lucky to go on time where the place was slow,there were only 2 tables occupied ( but people started coming in when we were done eating)Food was really great.We ordered chicken burrito, chesse quesadillas, vaca frita and chips and guacamole. They came out fast and they were all delicious even the mojito I ordered was also great.There are a couple of good mexican restaurant in RVC and I can honestly say this is one of the best.

So my best girlfriend in the whole wide world took me and my little sister to this restaurant on Taco Tuesday. Me and my silly self didn't know that there was really a meaning behind Taco Tuesday until I came here. The tacos on the list for taco Tuesday special we're $2 each. Why in the world would it be $2 each and I'm hungry? So oh yeah I had the pastor, carnitas, chicken, and fish yes I was hungry. My best friend had the same thing and my sister had basically a vegan taco without the shell. It was wild to see a taco off the shelf sitting on a plate it looks so naked I felt embarrassed for it lol. A young lady by the name of Maria Carla was so attentive to making sure that my sister stayed on her detox. I believe she had baked vegetable or steamed and it looked good. Sister said it tasted good and that's all that made the difference. We were so pleased with Maria Carla that we doubled her tip we enjoyed that she was very attentive to us and that's the type of customer service we like to receive. However, I find it kind of strange that this place does not serve hot coffee yeah there's a popular coffee spot next door but why go outside when I can get it right here at the place that I'm at ? There's nothing like a good hot cup of bustelo with your meal you know what I mean? perhaps moving forward you guys might consider incorporating hot coffee. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's ever asked for coffee and a taco restaurant.Had it not been for Maria Carla and her eager to please and great customer service the restaurant may have received a three-star. The food did not come to us piping hot like we expected to be but because we are so hungry we hurry up and wolfed it down lol. Also I was expecting to have lime as well as a hot sauce and theverde sauce but as i normally get when I go to restaurants for tacos but I did not receive this automatically. However and I do say however with the capital H, had it not been for Maria Carla who bought us the sour cream as well as the chipotle sauce, I don't think I would have enjoyed it as much because of the fact it was not served piping hot. This place is small has a full bar and I'm sure it can get pretty crowded. My sister enjoyed it so much she will be back when she is off her detox. Looking forward to coming back and hopefully our waitress Maria Carla will be there to greet us again.

Just got the carne asada tacos. Real chunk of meat with chimichurri, they were delicious. Lemonade is super sweet but kind of expected.Great and friendly service

One word "DISGUSTING!" I really wished I'd taken photos of the horrendous food I recieved. I ordered EVERY SINGLE TACO on the menu and Im shocked with how undercooked the food was and the combinations they created for the tacos. Not authentic tacos and terrible wait time. I ordered in store and waited 39 minutes for food. There was no line and only 5 people dining so Im confused how I waited so long for such terrible food ?. I will never go back there and I would never reccommend it. Stay away if you don't want to be scarred or taint your knowledge of authentic tacos. I have to unfortunately say that evebn Taco Bell is better ??

Great little restaurant. Food is awsome. Fun karaoke but he needs to be more attentive to karaoke and not eating at another table.

Their food is always really good and they have great service. They have the best margaritas in town.

I use to come here every Tuesday for taco tuesdays and it use to have amazing service. Not so much now. The tacos are either a hit or miss, they serve them super greasy and they don't double up on the tortillas leaving them to break so easily. I would've recommended this spot a year ago - but service and food has definitely changed. It's an OK spot.

Over the street corn. Ask for extra condimentsNO $5 margaritas ?

Is it even legal for a taqueria outside of Mexico to make such good tacos and margaritas?!! My husband and I stopped by for a quick bite before our movie at the AMC across the street. The tacos were so delicious and I wanted to chug my margarita, but our server had a different idea! Margaritas to go! Had a nice little treat during our movie.

The food was good and the drinks were strong!

Under Horrible new management!! I have been coming here for years for taco Tuesday.They have a really nasty attitude..... waitress and "manager" gave a nasty attitude, rolling eyes, not taking into account customers concerns with arrogance.My 5 year old wanted to eat pizza and we wanted tacos, they said it was ok at first.We purchased the pizza and then for whatever reason they said my 5 year old couldn't eat pizza there.We walked out and will never go back.Take your business elsewhere, there's another much better taco place nearby that we ended up going to.
