Food tasted okay… had to wait over an hour in an almost empty restaurant. Not worth it.

I don't know what these recent reviews are talking about. The food here is pretty decent. & portions are good.

We eat a lot. We shared ceviche, guacamole, & each got tacos. It was too much food. We were full on just the ceviche & guac between the two of us.

The shrimp tacos were on the spicy side. The chicken tacos were pretty big.

The only thing I deducted a star for were the drinks. I understand small drinks but we were both literally done with our drinks in two sips. It was too small. For a $25 coco loco, I understand it is what it is but two sips? Not great.

Aside from that, good food, good vibes, we left full.

They made me wait over 45 minutes for mediocre tacos, & the chicken on mine was cold in the centre! I will not come back here

The pollo taco is one to try for sure - the watermelon topping was unique & refreshing. Biking made us thirsty for margaritas & they did not disappoint!

Service is really slow. Food's ok. The pork & chicken tacos were tasty. Table side guac is so-so. They leave out the ingredients on their trolley exposed in the heat. Tipping option was set for % option only when the server gave me the machine.

Chicken shrimp & fish tacos are heavily battered & deep fried.

Worst service ever …
I highly recommend the owner to be more diligent with the people that are working there.
