    Another great night! My wife and I order just tacos and tostadas, and we absolutely love them. Have not tried a main dish, there isn’t a need! Chicken tostada and shrimp tostada are my favorite and my wife loves the beef brisket taco. Can’t go wrong!

    The food was excellent. I rarely write reviews but this place deserves it. The flavors were creative yet balanced and yummy. I also like the smaller plates so you can try a couple of different items that you might not normally try.
