Stopped here on a whim while stuck in traffic on Manchester and I’m excited for this find! Easy in and out right off Manchester with ample parking. The environment is colorful and full of positive energy. I sat on the gorgeous outdoor deck. There was table side service for water, serving, and clearing. Orders are placed either through a QR code and delivered to your table or at the bar. I think the management style allows for a smoother dining experience with extremely attentive staff. I ordered the guacamole appetizer that is supposedly made fresh and served with fresh homemade chips. It was pretty basic but tasty. Tacos are served à la cart. They recommend two for a full meal. The menu is full of unique choices with vegetarian, pescatarian, and gluten free options throughout. I got the Galveston with New Mexico spiced cauliflower. The Baja sauce was full of spice while remaining palatable. The corn salsa and social sauce perfectly complimented this unique taco. I also got a Jodhpur with tandoori style grilled chicken marinated in yogurt, lemon, and masala. I haven’t eaten chicken in about a year but this menu choice called to me and it was worth the exception. Finally, it won’t be Mexican without a margarita. They described the frozen Margarita as “famous” so I figured I have a duty to try. It is still frozen up until the moment it is served so it isn’t your average watered down frozen Margarita. It was extremely flavorful. Not unique, but decidedly delicious. I’m excited to share this fantastic find and can’t wait to return!

Indoor and outdoor seating in a nice, clean environment. We tried several of the tacos which were all good. Ordering is different. Either order up at the counter or scan the QR code and order and pay from your phone. Parking was somewhat of an issue but not too bad.

BEST TACOS! Sooo good! And I eat a lot of tacos. Nearly cried when I had the Baja fish taco, and it was GLUTEN FREE!! So good! I miss Baja fish tacos being GF, and loved this one so much. Their queso and margaritas were also great! Very fun vibes/ atmosphere, too!

I ordered a few tacos, chips and salsa, and a Topo Chico online for curbside. The process for curbside pickup was very quick and the service was great. Once I got back to my office, I realized I didn’t receive my drink, so I turned around to claim it. I noticed the drink wasn’t listed on the itemized receipt, so I pulled up my email upon arrival and the hosts and another worker (presumably a supervisor of sorts) were immediately helpful. Not only did they promptly grab my drink, they gave me additional salsas, threw in a side of guacamole, and refunded me for the drink since I had to come back. That’s an extremely easy oversight to make when the item is not on the ticket and they did a top-notch job of rectifying the very minor issue. I will be back due to the excellent customer service, delicious tacos, and excellent salsa!
