It's a seasoned tomato based soup with beef, tendon, and stomach. It comes with a side of toppings with onions, cilantro, chili peppers, and lime. It's savory and tangy! The portion sizes are large! So be aware of that, unless you order tacos and they are regular street taco sized. We also got steak tacos and the meat was perfectly grilled, tender, and seasoned! It's not bland and the cilantro and onions to top is perfect. Is it a first date kind of place? No. But it does have great late night bites! Will definitely come again.

My friend bought a flour tortilla got the discount and I did not. I got a corn steak taco to add to my salad I brought from home and I stated I could not eat flour because I have allergy. The lady then proceeds to put my friends flour tortilla over my box. We both were wearing our store uniform. I didn't even get a chance to say anything about my discount because he walked away from the register as I was about to pay. I don't see myself coming back if the owners are working. Their workers are a lot friendlier and don't give us the cold shoulder for ordering sides. Just not okay because we are still paying customers at the end of the day.

I honestly don't know how this place is in business with their incredibly affordable Happy Hour. We nearly got one of everything because it was in the $5-7 range for each dish. Even their normal prices are fantastic for meals. We definitely enjoyed the chicken wings and I loved the black squid ink tortillas that were part of the chimichangas. We loved basically everything we ordered and it was so nice that the entire menu was naturally gluten-free as a celiac. I live in Vegas and have talked about flying back to Iowa specifically so that we can eat here again, that's how much we liked it. Service was fast and polite, the ambiance felt moody and cool.

When we arrived, it was just after six so we missed the half off apps, but still took advantage of the margaritas which I failed to get pictures of. I got the blackberry which you can't go wrong as it is sweet and hides a lot of the tequila flavor, which I prefer since I'm a whiskey drinker. My husband got the spicy Mezcal, which is a smoky jalapeño flavored margarita. There weren't that many people there which is why I think they added these deals so take advantage soon. Our server was amazing and the ambience is great. However, I prefer a little bit more light when I'm trying to read the menu.
