joannejoanne: the best taco at this location is the pollo. the chile verde is fantastic but its sauciness needs to be contained in a burrito. and if you get the hongos taco, grab a fork. hella mushrooms overflow!

Tony B.Tony Bowles: Love the Danger Dog! Pollo Taco or Burrito is wonderful, the Vampiro taco is like wow and the Surf & Turf is a home run!

Steve P.Steve Pepple: Vibe: Friendly, Colorful, PopularTips: Get the mushroom and chile verde 🌮 , all-day breakfast 🌯, or churros. Sit out back on their patio, which has a perfect amount of shade.
