Great service and delicious tacos. Nice little patio to sit and good parking. You can feel the quality when you take a bite. Yummy!

Delicious, but hard to trust their sporadic hours. Twice I have gone to find it closed when it was listed as open.

Powerfully delicious. Been here twice and never had anything that wasn't excellent. Do it.

Quesadilla is outstanding, my kid loves it. Beef tacos are perfection. And I like the chips, they have a seasoning on them. Yummy.

We had a party of 5 for happy hour and it was the perfect place! LOTS of seating available, which…read morewas appreciated. The place filled up pretty decently for a Monday afternoon, but our service was still great. Spicy, skinny margaritas on happy hour always make me happy. They were good, too -- plus a tajin rim *chefs kiss*. We had chips and salsa, fajitas, tacos, taco salads, and everything was solid. I wouldn't say my salad was mind blowing, but I was happy with it. No gripes from our table and everything came out nice and hot. Our server was very friendly and checked on us consistently, even if it was a glance from afar.

I'm very disappointed with this place. I had looked them up in Miami and was really excited to try…read morethem, but the experience didn't live up to expectations. Most of the disappointment came from the hostess, Emily. She seemed rushed the entire time--she took our drink order, but while we were still looking at the menu, she walked away. She came back briefly, then left again, making it hard for us to ask questions or get recommendations. Because of that, we didn't get any guidance on what to order. When the food arrived, mine was way too spicy for me to eat. Thankfully, another waiter stepped in and offered an alternative I might like, which I appreciated. Overall, the service felt rushed and inattentive, and the experience just wasn't enjoyable. I wouldn't go back.
