Oh yes! Cool little taco joint with a nice selection of stuffs for yo shells! I consumed the goods in the vestibule just outside the side door where a couple of tables and chairs were placed. The architecture was amazing, but the tacos stole the show.

Atmosphere - 5/5Service - 5/5Value - 4/5Food - 3/5Their chupacabra sauce is good but this is really a “convenience” spot, for getting an easy bite when you’re at a show at The Jefferson

Baja fish taco is amazing! Nachos are great too.

Love their sweet potato burritos! Everything is very fresh and they are generous with the portions. Only complaint is their hours can be hit or miss.

TACOS! QUESADILLAS! BURRIOTS! They got it ALL! What a stop this was. Had a wonderful time as soon as I stepped in! Jared, the happy soul behind the counter, what a gem! So helpful and nice! Would go back just to talk with him. Definitely recommend. 20 out of 5 stop in my books. Tell Jared I said what’s up if you stop in!!

So....I am a bit of a taco snob. If the place doesn't look as if they can make a good taco, I am not going to give them the opportunity to make me angry. I have passed by this place a few times and today went in to talk them about our readers choice program. I realized by looking at the menu that they take their tacos seriously. I still had work to do, so I kept stepping. But on the way back by I really wanted to give them a shot. Man, I am so glad that I did. While ordering my tacos, I learned that they also make fresh empanadas. Are you kidding me? Hold me back!!! I ordered the three-taco special. I selected a flour tortilla (corn is an option), added Al Pastor (juicy and succulent ), guacamole, lettuce, pico, pickled jalapeños and onions and they allowed me to top it with picks from some very good sauce choices. I elected to try one with the chipotle cremma, another with roja sauce and a final with mango habanero. I almost lost a finger because they were so good. The food was fresh and tasty. I sat there debating if it was a top 5 taco experience. I honestly cannot bestow that honor on them just yet. I have to try more on the menu to see if they land there. But, it far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend them if you're in the area. And it gets better.... The mark of a great restaurant is when they love creating and sharing good food. I met Jarred (spelling?), one of the Cinema Taco team members, during my experience here and he was the embodiment of a good restaurant guy. He knew the menu well and I could tell that he really loves the foodie experience. I had a chorizo empanada (thanks to Jarred) before I left and it WAS a top five empanada experience!! Coupled with a house made spicy sauce, it was something to write home about. With so much taco and empanada love in the air here, I will definitely be back. You should too!!!!! From fresh tasty food and a well-constructed menu, to the house made sauces and creams....to the great feeling you'll get from the team there. (The chef came out and asked if the food was good - nice!) I wish I could have posted a picture of the tacos. But I ate them too fast. You will just have to come get some pics of your own. No frills. Just honest tasty cooking. Try it.

The food was delicious and the service was amazing. One of my favorite places to get tacos now.

Jake Laribee

Absolutely fantastic. Fish tacos were stellar, all of the house made sauces we're fantastic. Margaritas we're also stellar. Thanks for dinner before the show!

The flavor of the tacos is okay, but my server was very stingy with how much protein was put on each. I got 3 different tacos for $10 and they put the equivalent of about 1 level tablespoon of meat on each.I'll be hungry in an hour.If you want pico de gallo on the tacos, that's a $0.50 up charge and again, volume is disappointing. They put about1/2 a teaspoon of pico on each taco. Adding guacamole to a single taco is a $0.50 up charge.On a more positive note, their mango habanero hot sauce is excellent! And the convenience of tge restaurant being right next to The Jefferson cannot be beat if you are on your way to a show there.
