Really enjoyed the fresh guacamole! Disappointed in limited dessert options; was hoping for flan. Nice selection of tacos, with choice of salmon or tilapia for the fish tacos.

Food was decent even though my steak was medium and not rare as requested. Service was great! Noise level was a little too high for comfort. Guacamole was great but they were a little stingy with the chips.

Food was really good and drinks were delicious. Definitely seemed busy toward the end of our meal but they were really nice and accommodating.

A very cute neighborhood restaurant with a lively bar in front and seating in the back, both inside and outside. The food and service was very good and we had an adorable waitress. The place is very popular – even early on a Wednesday evening in February, it was packed and there was not an empty table. We shared grilled shrimp and carnitas tacos and guacamole. All of it was very good! The sangria was good too. I have only one complaint: there is a very strange smell in the front which hits you hard as you come in or leave. It’s hard to identify… kind of greasy old stale odor which is really unpleasant. They should do something about that! We are lucky to have this good restaurant in Fairmount!

The food and service are always excellent here! The tacos are amazing and drinks are always yummy. There were a few really loud parties so maybe some soft surfaces to cut that noise. Highly recommend for the food and service though.

Great atmosphere, extensive menu with something for everybody, and stellar service! Our host was exceptionally attendant. We ordered the tuna ceviche, salmon Al pastor tacos, and short rib enchiladas. Each was so fresh and well done! I will definitely be coming back. Amazing margs too!!
