    Margarita pitchers were awesome. They had a pork belly taco as a special... I crave these tacos every day now. They need to add to their regular menu! Excellent!!

    The atmosphere is fun and the food was pretty good. Our group of 6 came in on a Wednesday evening for dinner. I got the steak tacos and refried beans. We split 2 baskets of the $3 tortilla chips and salsa. We did one red and one verde salsa. The red is a chunkier salsa and the verde is creamier. Both were fresh and delicious with ample chips to share! The steak tacos were tender and flavorful. The beans were creamy and had some cheese on them. The only reason for the 4 stars was the service. While our waiter was kind and pleasant, he took a very long time to take our order and a long time after we were finished to get us our bills. The place wasn't overwhelmingly busy and he was playing on his phone near the bar talking to other employees while we waited to order. He's human and we get it though. Overall, we enjoyed our food and drinks. We would visit again.

    Covered outdoor seating, excellent nachos with a generous amount of toppings, and insane quesabirria tacos (available Friday-Sunday only per the menu). Service was a bit slow but we weren't in a rush.
