So pleasantly surprised by our experience here. We sat outside with our two little kids & they were very accommodating about ordering the kids food in advance. Kids menu offers three crowd pleasing options. Freshly made guacamole & the chef's platter of tacos were all delicious. We ordered the shrimp tacos as an extra & while the quality & freshness of the shrimp was great, they were really spicy so order with caution. The service was amazing & the entire terrace staff were super attentive.

Right in the old port in a very touristic area during the hotter months. Service was good & food was great, price fairly for the quality & the location. Tacos were really tasty & great chips, dipping was really fresh. Would come back again.

Their guac is fresh & delicious. Food was good too just a bit on the pricey side for the size. They have seasonal menus that still show up on the regular menu & the items are not available. But otherwise cute spot & friendly staff

Came in on New year's eve & got forced into a 70$ meal that was very disappointed. The tortilla chips were very inconsistent with some of them being fresh & the others being stale & nearly breaking my teeth but at least the tabble side guacamole was good. The portions in the appetizer & the main meal was very small & the meat was so tough & overcoocked, they probably used the cheapest cut of beef there is on the market, but the presentation was good. The sea food salad was fresh but very simple. At least the desserts were generous.

Good food & ambience. I recommend the fried chicken tacos that come with watermelon salsa. Ask for some hot sauce & drizzle that on top, & it tastes so good! We also got the fish tacos which were good too. Only one vegetarian option that is so dry (shredded hard tofu)- I don't recommend it at all. We also got a salad on the side (I don't remember what kind it was) & it was so tasty & fresh! Service was slightly slow despite the restaurant not being busy.
