Had a delicious dinner with my daughter and some friends last night. The menu is large with so many different options! Even the kids menu is diverse and appropriate for picky eaters (they even have chicken tenders in addition to Mexican options). I had a steak burrito but my favorite part actually might have been the rice! It was the perfect side dish. Will have to come back to sample more food and try their drinks!

Ever since they opened their temporary location the food has been a Giant disappointment and inconsistent. Tonight I asked for baked burritos, not burnt. I really hate to do this we have always loved this place but I think we will be taking a break from here for a while.

Delicious tacos and quick service. I came in after a hike hoping for a patio seat. Unfortunately the patio is under construction which meant I was shabbily dressed for a rather nice date sort of restaurant. The happy hour drinks and food options were reasonably priced (I wouldn’t say you’re scoring a deal though either). $8 for a classic marg which was light and refreshing (only slightly too sweet but I can forgive them that as I don’t like much sweetness it my marg). Tacos were $3.50 each and I got the cilantro-lime grilled chicken, beer-braised carnitas, and the chicken and sausage. All were equally good and I would recommend. I also got my tacos in about 5 minutes from ordering (keep in mind I dined alone at 5:00pm). Is the place Americanized and clearly designed to the millennial Instagram aesthetic? Sure, but it was also good food, a nice ambiance, and great service. I definitely recommend.

Staff was so awesome accommodating our large group of 12. We walked in on a Friday with no reservations and they made sure they got us in. With about a 30 minute wait, our group was able to order drinks at the bar and hang out in the waiting lobby until our table was ready. Although it took our server quite some time to greet our table and take drink orders, she graciously brought us 2 skillets of queso for our wait!
They have the best Pineapple jalapeño margaritas I've ever had. Fresh made without any of that bottled margarita mix. I ordered a shrimp empanada and the chicken fajita quesadilla! Both were really good!
