    My wife and I came in hungry, and the server was super cool and laid-back—no complaints there. But honestly, the tacos just didn’t hit the mark this time. We were ready to eat and head out, so we didn’t say anything in the moment. Normally, the food here is great, but this time? I’m gonna have to give the tacos a tall pass moving forward. But the ambiance here is wonderful.

    Our server, Kelli, was great. We could take advantage of the Happy hour prices, and she comped our chips and guacamole since it was our anniversary. Overall, a very good experience.

    Great service and great tacos! It’s a little dark on the inside and it can get loud. But lunch on a Saturday was great! Totally recommend and lots of cool shops around.

    Food was very good. The seating is not the most comfortable, it's picnic table seating.
