I heard many good feedback about this place and decided to give it try. Unfortunately, it wasn’t good as I expected: the tacos don’t take good at all, we got chicken and beef, the spicy chicken in the lettuce wrap was ok, but the beef and the regular chicken tacos taste weird, they are not marinated. It doesn’t relate to Mexican tacos. The presentation of the food is perfect and the place sends good vibes.

Trendy place to eat. Includes inside and outside seating. They offer a wide variety of customized tacos. The vegetarian mushroom was delicious as all the flavors meshed very well together. The steak was also good. It had a bit too much heat to not have been marked spicy on the menu, and the meat amount was minimal. The shrimp taco was my least favorite of the three (note: shrimp is normally my favorite meat). I added some guacamole dip to it, which made it more appetizing and seemed to round out the flavors better. The street corn and guacamole dip were both delicious. The swiril margarita was a regular frozen margarita with non frozen juice. The flavors together were very fruity and took the bite margaritas normally have away. Overall it was a nice place to eat and enjoy company.

The line moved so quickly and the food was beauuuuutiful! I got a fish taco, a shrimp taco and we also ordered chips and guac. The fish taco was just a little lacking in flavor, but the shrimp taco was AMAZING! Would definitely go back for more. There’s not enough indoor seating in my opinion. The tables are communal but everyone who’s in a group sits so spaced out that you can’t really hop into a table. Overall it was pretty good!

Fast and correct service and wonderfully tasty food. We ordered online for pickup and it was ready right on time. The staff was friendly even in the chaos of lunch hour. The patio is nice and shaded. Parking in the area is free. The Red Garage is the closest. I would happily eat here again. The slow-roasted Angus taco was fantastic.

We’ve always had the vegetarian options. Nashville hot tofu is always our favorite, followed by paneer tikka tacos.

There was a long line but it went by pretty quickly. It was pretty good I liked the hot sauces. I went at lunch time so it was kind of packed but there was still enough patio space and enough indoor space that I didn’t have to wait to sit down.
