"We had a fantastic experience at this taco spot! Malcolm greeted us with such warmth and enthusiasm — he made us feel right at home. His recommendations were absolutely on point: the Baja shrimp, double shrimp, spicy chicken tacos, and more… each bite was bursting with flavor. And the Grapefruit Jarritos? The perfect refreshing touch to the meal. Exceptional service, delicious food — definitely a 5-star visit!"
Aya Ibrahim
"We stopped in for a few drinks and a snack. We sat at the bar, where the bartender greeted us promptly—he was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. The main floor was fairly quiet, though it was still before 6:00 PM.
I had a lime margarita on the rocks, which was perfect, and my husband had a couple of IPAs. We shared the Blanco nachos with guacamole and braised beef, and they were really good—generous portions and great flavor.
A great spot for a casual stop-in with quality drinks and tasty food."
Trena Kraft
"The service and food were amazing. I had the taco salad with beef, and it had to be the best taco salad I had. Other orders were dirty fries, beef quesadilla, and avocado chicken wrap, and everyone was very happy with the food.
The classic margaritas were a little disappointing as they tasted watered down and not something I would crave for or run out to buy."
