Expensive but Surprisingly Good Tacos
I was surprised there wasn’t a lunch rush line when I was there at noon. I appreciated the spacious outdoor seating. I got a carnitas and pescado taco with chips.
It was expensive! This is what I get for eating in the FiDi… It was surprisingly good…until I got a tummy ache after. Wouldn’t go back nor recommend.

Delicious Tacos and Great Happy Hour!
I was so glad to have discovered this place while searching for a delicious taco! They offer happy hour every evening. The guacamole is incredibly good, served with delicate chips.
For dessert, the warm churros are a must-indulge item. The cashier was friendly and always greeted with a smile. This spot seems to be a popular choice for an after-work watering hole.

Overpriced Tacos, Limited Salsa
My experience at this restaurant was marked by overpriced tacos and guacamole. The salsa selection was super limited, with only a verde-esque option available. Given the cost and limited choices, I felt it would be better off going to alternatives nearby.

Mixed Feelings on Tacos and Margs
I visited this restaurant for a work happy hour and unfortunately, I wasn't a fan of the tacos or margs. I also wish there were more non-alcoholic options available. On a positive note, the guac was pretty good, and the restaurant team was friendly!
