    Everything was good and right there on Ocean. I would have liked if they said no valet or validation on their sign at the curb. Instead it said $12 w validation. When I was talking with the parking attendant, he was confused and so was I, lol. Everything else was geeat.

    The staff, particularly our waitress, were super friendly and also helpful when I was making selections. I was performing at a comedy gig after dinner but wanted a margarita and the zero proof jalapeño margarita was PERFECT (and spicy)! I loved it and was so impressed with the alcohol and non-alcohol options. The food was so yummy. I like that tacos are served solo so if you want to try a couple kinds you can go for it easily. I went with Barbacoa and loved it.

    When we arrived this nice young lady assisted us to our table and even asked if we had preference for different tables. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Understood exactly what we wanted and check on us in a very discreet way (I appreciate this because sometimes it can be too much). Food was great, recommend the Queso fundido and the Tetelas. The guava and passion fruit margaritas low on sugar are amazing, and the little popsicle that comes with it makes it so flavorful and fun. Will continue going to this place
