I celebrated my birthday here and reserved the patio the whole event was incredible. They took care of everything, made personalized menus for us, and the staff was amazing. The vibe was perfect, the margaritas were incredible, and the birria tacos and esquites are my absolute favorites. I’m definitely planning to celebrate my birthday here again next year. Highly recommend!
Good cocktails. tacos taste good, but used to be bigger. You might have to wait a minute for the waiter, they might be understaffed. And the whole place has a single bathroom and big lines
Taco crawl spot 5: I had the birria tacos for the first time and I really liked them — consomé (dipping broth) was also very tasty. Classic margarita was good too. Service was great and space was cute. Great place to grab drinks with friends. I loved the outdoor seating here: will need to come back this summer :)
