First time here. Great service, very attentive staff. Margarita on the rocks was a lot of ice, watered down, too expensive. Good selection of beer- will have beer next time. Traditional burrito was delicious! Had the pulled pork traditional burrito. Ask for the red sauce. No complimentary chips and salsa- had to purchase separately. Dining area was bland, but bar area had a nice atmosphere- will eat on that side next time.

Tasty tacos and great drinks. Awesome selection of tequila, whiskey and mezcal. Cocktail are well made. Shrimp tacos on Friday are awesome and you can’t go wrong with the steak tacos. It’s a very comfortable atmosphere and nice looking bar with a friendly staff. I’m a whiskey and Tequila guy and this place does not disappoint, they also have a good selection of mezcal too.

We were super excited to try this place out because it’s right down the road from our house. Really loved the atmosphere and everyone was extremely friendly. I hate to say it because I really really wanted to like this place, but it was so expensive and the food wasn’t anything special and lacked in flavor/seasoning. We all ordered tacos (Shrimp & Carnitas). The margaritas were good, but they were $12 each which is way more than we are used to paying when we eat Mexican. They also don’t serve complimentary chips and salsa, unless they just forgot when we were there. This place has potential, but I’m not sure if we will be back because of how high the bill was. Disappointing because we were thinking this would our spot for taco Tuesdays.

I’m not one to bad mouth small business but this place isn’t even trying. The atmosphere is decent, staff was quick with beverages but that’s where the positive ends. Chips and salsa was a basket of burnt chips with a squirt bottle of hot sauce……. Steak Nachos featured more of the badly burnt chips with thin flavorless pieces of “steak”. Not pleasant. (Served with no napkins or silverware). We ordered a steak burrito and a chorizo burrito that looked great. Unfortunately they were almost meatless and very flavorless. The Chorizo quesadilla was not a quesadilla at all and was also bland as hell. We all left feeling nauseous and disappointed. We were offered boxes at least 5 times for all the uneaten food. . Just don’t, there are much better options……. ( Like Casey’s gas station)

Stopped in here to meet some friends. The street tacos were fantastic! Tried the steak and chicken both were very good. They are very small but I liked them because you get the same amount of the steak or chicken without the tortilla filling you up. I can’t wait to go back!!!

I’ve never had a better street taco and I have tried a lot of them. Everything tastes fresh and beautifully delicious. Couldn’t ask for better. Keep up the good work!

I’ve lived in Marengo all my life and this has become one of my favorite spots. Amira makes some of the best margaritas I’ve ever had. Get a strawberry margarita with chamoy. 10/10. Ask for Amira!
