My husband finally took me here, after talking about it for a LONG time. We sat at the bar and had such a great experience asking the bartender to choose his favorite 5 tacos and happily eating them and chips and salsa. The flavor combinations were so good and I love that they switch up the tacos every once in a while. They had an impressive array of alcohol on the walls, but my husband and I don’t drink often so he chose an ice tea and I got a non-alcoholic drink called Sober Love. It was quiet during lunch, but I could picture it getting loud when busy. I definitely want to bring some friends for a girl’s night!

Tuesday tacos at 5 tacos! Sounds fun so as the place, especially on Tuesday night with the live band playing outside right behind our table. What a pleasant pit stop for snack and beers on Tuesday night.

If I could give it 20 stars I would! Wow! What a place! Ambiance is so awesome. Area’s separated nicely with total view for all to watch making tortillas or rolling flautas etc. And still see other guests for a festive event but not hear their conversation. We sat at the bar and it was comfy and inviting.

I dined here and had mixed feelings about my experience. While the atmosphere was pleasant and inviting, I found the food to be rather bland. Despite the culinary letdown, the restaurant’s ambiance created an enjoyable dining environment.

I thought that maybe we’d came at a busy time because of the disorganization of the orders that were coming out. But once we were long finished with our drinks, the tacos finally came out, and they as well were disappointing. The ceviche was decent but not enough to consider returning.

Best Mexican food I’ve had in a long time! We got the shrimp ceviche and guacamole and chips to start. The chips were still warm and sooo good. I ended up getting a quesabirria because the table next to us ordered it and it looked so good. Best quesabirria I’ve ever had! We also ordered a flight of beers and ciders, great selection and generous pour. Our waiter James was really nice and checked on us multiple times. Overall, a great experience and we’ll definitely be coming back.

Stopped in for a cocktail at happy hour one day – what a treat! I love mezcal and this place has an enormous selection! We tried a couple and had a couple of wonderful cocktails. The Mangonada was fabulous, as was the Spicy Peach. The best part of the experience was the amazing bartenders, who were very friendly and full of knowledge of their craft. Next time, we’ll have tacos, too!

Food is delicious. I had the carne asada and ordered more after i had some already. Beer is cold and served in nice beer glasses. Lots of great beer choices. Manager was very hospitable. I sat at one of 2 bars and my bartender Josiah took very good care of me. He even made sure that the customers next to me were satisfied. Great place to grab simple delicious food and great drinks. They even have growlers you can buy. I brought my own and they filled it with Mai Tai PA, a great choice. The food is very fresh and presented very nice. Highly recommend.

Beautifully presented on a banana leaf alongside watermelon radishes and 2 limes, the pollo chicken tacos tasted just as good as they looked! The margaritas were also spectacular; very sweet and tasty. I wish they served the margarita flights year round! The service was good, and they have outdoor seating with trendy blue chairs.

I always enjoy the location in Albany so very excited we got one in Walnut Creek!! However, I was sad that they didn’t offer the mushroom tacos here instead they had soy chorizo which is still great! Very satisfied with my vegan soy chorizo taco and vegan soy chorizo birria. Don’t forget to start with the fresh guacamole! Lastly, they have a mocktail on the menu for non alcohol drinkers who still want to drink something fancy!
