    The tacos were not good. Not worth the visit. The queso dip was also very bland and not spicy.

    Busy place with a great cross section of families, couples, and happy hour patrons. Looked promising. Started with ceviche - weirdly dry and tasteless, corn fritters - delicious and well dressed and presented. Moved on to mahi tacos - delicious in every way, and rellano -hotdishy and served without a knife which took forever to arrive. The service staff have assigned responsibilities and do not cross over. Server took the order and intermittently served it. Other servers came from the kitchen bearing hot items. One server spent 80% of her time chatting with the couple in the next booth. While other people were delivering our food and utensils, it felt like she wasn’t doing her job. Chef came out a couple times and toured the tables. Didn’t seem to serve any purpose. Desserts were a highlight. Very well executed churro and ice cream dish and uniquely seasoned tres leches cake. Felt like a Baja bar that just opened. May get better with time.

    Good food. Weird service. The waitress was both bartender and waitress and was over worked. The other servers didn’t seem to be doing anywhere near as much as her. She was excellent but I felt bad for her. Liked the nachos and crispy avocado taco!
