Excellent authentic food! We've traveled the world & this is one of the best Mexican restaurants we've been. Tacos & margaritas were outstanding! The service was excellent as well.

Stopped at this taco place on my visit from Vancouver. As a Mexican I really enjoyed the atmosphere & the decor. Server was very friendly also. Go there & enjoy some good Latin music & tasty Mexican/fusion food.

Amazing drinks & great tacos. Keep in mind these are tacos the size you get in Mexico 4' which is authentic. You will need to order two types for a meal.

Food was good, albeit small. But god damn does the service need improvement. Restaurant was halfway empty, & out of a table of 4, 1 got their meal 5 minutes before the other ones. We waited 23 minutes (timed it) for 2 tacos. unacceptable.

Cherry on the Sundae, there was a bachelor party with 4 girls inside the restaurant, & they were yelling with a megaphone like it was Coachella.

I went today for dinner & I have to say the tacos are not tacos but mini tacos, we have to different orders but received in only one plate ( I did not like it because was supposed to be 2 person 2 plates, when I saw the tacos & the birria soup for me was like a free testing presentation 🙁, & we never got the drink we asked for.
Did not like it to be honest, not recommended.
