    Their tacos are top notch but guacamole was meh, not so fresh. Try Mezcalita instead of Margarita.

    Dry chicken tacos and flavorless shrimp tacos. They ignored us with no line, and couldn't be less pleasant. By the way, we never ordered chix tacos. We asked for a chix quesadilla. Skip this place

    The food is tasty, but overpriced for the portions you get. Paid $30 for two people and left hungry.

    Sadly, the tacos were a disappointment. Too dry and bland. The cashier was lovely though. Give me the margarita on the house while I waited.
