Tomas was an awesome waiter. He was quick and helpful, offering to get us the 6 pack when we landed on 2 tacos each to save us a couple dollars. We said we were on a tight schedule and we were somehow in and out in maybe 40 mins total. Might have been 30. The tacos were also great. Al Pastor de Pollo and Carnitas killed. Tacos are overstuffed and therefore appropriately priced. Had to eat some of the eat out of them at first in order to pick up and eat. At the end when I said I was taking my guests to their first architecture boat tour, he shared his enthusiasm even after 10 years here and psyched them up. Thanks for a great quick meal.

Antonio our server was amazing. The appetizers we ordered came out so fast we were still placing our taco order. Our 2 and 4 year old enjoyed playing with the foosball table. Tacos and margaritas were good. Elote portion was smaller than I expected but delicious. We arrived at 5 pm and it started to really get busy around 6 pm. Large indoor seating space.

Went on a Friday night and it was nice. Loved the seating and the beers were great. Food was okay and I think because it was slow the waiter was extremely attentive. Other than that it was a cool place
