Just stopped in for a quick bite. Ended up having the Surf Tacos with shrimp and my daughter had Street Tacos with chicken. Both were outrageously good!! Ingredients were super fresh and both tacos had a ton of flavor. Can’t wait to go back and try other things on their menu.

Nice and quaint atmosphere. Family owned and operated. Delicious food and service with a smile. After preparing our meal the owner came out from the kitchen and checked up on us and I thought that was awesome! There’s plenty to choose from on the menu. The tacos are very good and filling so don’t let the size fool you!

Great restaurant. Great flavors in the green and red sauces . Chicken and steak tacos were tasty and tender. Chips were fresh and warm. I prefer a second corn tortilla for the tacos so it holds together better but still great and will be back for sure

I went here for the first time yesterday with my friend. We both got the barbacoa tacos which were THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD and also celiac safe. They even cook the tacos on a separate pan so that there were no cross contamination. My friend also got the chips and guac which looked amazing. Best guac I've ever had.
