“Great place right on the Southport corridor! The margaritas were great and our server Blanca was fantastic! The burrito bowl (pictured) was super fresh and refreshing, and the enchiladas were great too. The outdoor patio is a great vibe in the summertime. The complimentary chips and salsa are also seriously addicting”
“Great spot for tacos for a business. Caitlin is a gentlewoman and a scholar. I talk fast and I think quicker and no one can follow me and she is not only a mother but a bartender. But man the staff here is the only reason I come back. Excellent staff. Excellent service. Excellent professionalism. I would promote her but she probably has already overworked. To the management, give her a pat on the back and a "atta girl" or more money.”
“Cute place for dinner. Nice restaurant week menu. Very family friendly but still comfortable for conversation. Margs were amazing. Choco taco was delish but ate it before we could take a pic.”
“We came here on Día de los Muertos and had such a wonderful experience! The guac and salsa were on point, and the chicken tortilla soup was incredibly flavorful and creamy plus, it was gluten and dairy free once we left off the cheese. I ordered the ground beef tacos and loved them (though I do wish they offered hard shells for the beef). My husband had the burrito, swapped steak for chicken, and could only finish half because it was so filling! Our server was kind, knowledgeable about gluten and dairy free options, and made the experience easy and enjoyable. We’ll definitely be back.”
“Giselle was a great waitress. She was so friendly and attentive. I went with my husband and child, it was our first time there, the drinks were great. Between the chicken and steak tacos, the steak was best. Giselle also shared that fish and pork were good choices. We’d definitely go back!”
“The steak fajita here is absolutely delicious. With a very close second for the shrimp fajitas. If the scoring is for fajitas it's a five for sure. Tacos were good it's just the star of the show is the fajitas. Salsa is very good. Guac is tasty. Preferred the skinny margarita to the classic. Waitstaff super friendly. Patio was hopping (first come first served) but indoor has reservations. First time eating here and we will be back!”
“Very disappointing. The food was mediocre, the service was rude, and the staff member I dealt with was unprofessional and unfriendly. Definitely not worth the visit. I won’t be coming back.”
“Carlos was our waiter and took excellent care of us. He suggested the hashbrowns as a side - delicious!!”
“Carlos was a fantastic server. Polite, engaging and attentive to our needs throughout the meal. It helped to make our get together even more enjoyable!”
