I don't know why this little local gem is only getting 3.5 stars? The food is delicious, really cute atmosphere, excellent staff. And it's not expensive. Give them a try. Oh and I have NEVER not...

This place has gone downhill. It was never great, but the street-takeover patio is a great place to sit. They stopped frying the fish for the baja tacos, which I guess must have been inconvenient...

Solid 3.75 They were able to take our table of 4 without a reservation. The cheddar chicarrones are definitely worth ordering. My husband ordered a guava margarita and I got the mango margarita....

Good food especially tacos. Poor service, couldn't refill water or provide mole sauce when asked.
