This was my first time trying the paella and it was a 10/10 full of flavor and cooked perfectly. My friend got the mussels and a steak quesadilla, and both were really good. You honestly can't go wrong with anything on the menu. And the drinks? Strong and HUGE exactly how they should be. The music loud and get you dancing. Our server was fast and very attentive. I love this place so bad. It's definitely one of my go-to spots!

He brings you the little hand held machine to charge your credit card and shows you the tip range of 2 - 4%, so thinking this is his tip we gave him an additional 4%. Now he has a 24% tip.

I questioned the issue with the lady at the door and all she said was OH, HE DID NOT MENTION IT TO YOU, SORRY ABOUT THAT.

I stuck to the late night happy hour menu and ordered the Frito pie. It was REALLY good. The portion was smaller than I expected, so I'd definitely order two next time. I nibbled on my wife's shrimp fajita and it was delicious. The drinks were very nice. I ordered the spicy margarita and it was delicious. The ambiance is warm and cozy. It's not a large space, but I did not feel cramped. There is an outdoor heated seating area as well.

However, the waitress was excellent with providing order recommendations and ensuring that we were taken care of. Drinks: I ordered the ranch water which wasn't anything spectacular. Just a simple non-sugary drink to enjoy while dining. I opted out of the fajitas but the rest of my party loved the steak and shrimp fajitas, which were part of the fajitas 2 deal. Plenty to share and I heard that the steak was cooked to perfection and the shrimp was seasoned well. I ordered the taco salad and that dish was PHENOMENAL! There is something to be said about a wet salad which manages to hold some crunchy texture to the taco strips. Also, it was perfectly chopped and all ingredients were mixed together so well. To complete the dish, I ordered a side of rice and chicken. Both were delicious but the chicken portion could use some work. Overall I'm curious to try their breakfast tacos so count me in on returning! They also offer a great happy hour so I recommend stopping by to enjoy their bar or even their cute outdoor seating.

Restaurant was bright and welcoming and our waitress was lovely! In order of preference, we got the: Octopus tacos - Outstanding!!! There's a nice smokey char that adds flavor, sauce was fresh, and octopus was easy to bite through. Never had octopus tacos before and these were awesome!! I want to go back for this and to try other things! Huaraches - Bean filled and fried corn underlayer with sautéed steak and cactus on top -- cactus had a sour flavor and a light crunch with just a bit of slime kind of like okra, some folks aren't as into this but I liked it! Scallop tacos - Good sauce and nicely sized scallops. Salmon tacos - Good but did not standout, I'd skip unless you want something safe and it's your go to

Took me about 30 minute to get a spot on a residential street. Line was slightly out the door but line moved fast. Got the 7 tacos (2x956, 2xLa Choripapa, 1xSuper Migas, 1xSuper Duper Migas, 1x512) and 2 dirty horchata. Came out in about 5 minutes. Not much indoor seating but I believe they had an upstairs section too. Tacos lived up to the hype. Pretty good size tacos with the right amount of filling. Tortillas were perfect. Salsas were good, especially that cilantro crema. Despite the tough parking situation I would definitely come back.

It took an hour round trip to get a couple breakfast burritos. Was it worth it?…read more Definitely I got the 956 and unwrapped the foil, still warm and delicious. They'd be good to take on a work day but it's Saturday and I'm enjoying them at home with some coffee. Since I can't remark on the ambiance, having never seen the restaurant I just share where it takes me to when I taste. The tortilla is unique, probably handmade and tightly wrapped around the filling. I am reminded of the San Antonio river walk. It wasn't wet or juicy by the time I got it, maybe they are right out of the kitchen but, it was not dry either. The eggs were jiggly and bacon bits added salty savory texture. I dripped red sauce on every bite and enjoyed them a little bit spicy.

They were SO tasty, very full of flavor and spice. My husband said the tacos were delicious and our toddler actually ate a lot of the quesadilla. Win all around. Highly recommend!

But truth be told, it's standard Mexican fare made with breakfast ingredients. No more description necessary - you've had this before and you'll have it again.
