What a disappointment. The food was bad — the jerk chicken tasted like the bottom of a burnt pan. Service was miserable. We had to ask for our drinks after 10 minutes or so as the server had clearly forgotten about them while making drinks for their friends at the bar. The other server seemed irritated we had even entered the restaurant. Tacos came without napkins. I had to hunt them down so we could eat. They didn’t have any ice — at 5 pm on a Saturday — and we had to wait for the owner to arrive with it so we could have our drinks. (Another reviewer had the same problem, oddly.) The menu had such potential but ultimately this was a let-down. We were surprised since the online reviews were decent — until we used the restroom and noticed a sign advertising two free tacos for a five-star online review. Assuming that explains it. Would also be great if they could switch from plastic cups to reusable.

The food was very good — I particularly enjoyed my shrimp, chicken and carne asada tacos! Kathryn was a great, attentive server and her services lifted the atmosphere for us…the interior could be brought to life a bit more. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is that they could use to improve the aesthetics, but comfort was definitely elevated by the phenomenal service

I travel for a living – 47 states so far. Best tacos I’ve ever had, by a long-shot. Will be coming back to VA just to visit this place. Frankie’s service was great, food came up quick, tacos were insane, prices were surprisingly reasonable. 10/10

Had the nasheville taco & shrimp po boy, both were great! Would highly recommend if you’re looking for a unique, ambitious menu with good veggie options. My server, Connor was super nice & fun to talk to too!
