"Absolutely LOVE this place. Service was excellent! The atmosphere, even in the dead of the hot hot hot summer is fun and the food is OUTSTANDING. Cannot recommend enough!! We had the Guacamole topped off with a chile oil and corn tostados brought up from Mexico for starters. Portion was generous compared to most spots. And then we shared the order of carnitas street tacos. Should have taken a pic. There were 3 tacos with an incredibly ginormous portion of carnitas and GREAT flavor that two of us could barely finish. Drinks were outstanding too. Tried the prickly pear marg, which was very pretty but we much preferred the traditional margarita and then the mezcal old fashioned. Would love to eat here regularly!!"

"So great and fun! I’ve had a bunch of the margaritas and they all taste fresh and delicious. Not too sweet and very high quality. The menu changes seasonally and the dishes are ultra flavorful. Definitely a thumbs up. Vibes are nice too. Anthony provided perfect recommendations and was a delight to hang out with."
