What our guests are saying

All I can say is , wow! For starters, the service by Lauren was A+++. She was super kind, respectful, and made great conversation. I wish everyone was like this woman! Food was absolutely amazing, my fiance got the Birria Ramen, which was to die for. I got the California burrito, and I'll be dreaming about it for the rest of my life. Great salsa bar as well. Highly recommend.

The workers were very helpful. Came in during off peak hours and had a nice conversation about what they recommend. The surf & turf taco was seriously incredible. I'm still thinking about it! The tacos were slightly larger than street taco size and had lots of filling. Two were perfect for an afternoon snack. I got to sit out on the patio which I always enjoy, too. the neighborhood is lively and fun to watch. I can't wait to return.

Great family owned and operated Mexican food spot in little Italy. The decor is highly instagramable with cute tiles and a plant wall. Don't sleep on the tres leches cake - by far the best I've had at a taco place. The spice of the atheer salad was really pretty - but be prepared for some heat with it! Friendly staff who takes your order at the counter.
