Mexican street food spot in MVT. Pretty good selection of street tacos to choose from including…read moresome interesting ones like duck and crispy oyster. Also some vegetarian options like cauliflower and roasted brussels. The carne asada, baja fish, and pork belly were the favorites of the table. Drinks were quite good - strong sangria and the passion fruit Oaxaca margarita was perfect. Lastly the churros with a scoop of vanilla ice tea was the perfect way to end our meal. Definitely worth it. Ask for extra condensed milk if that's something you like.

I came here for happy hour with a friend and we sat at the bar. The service was great, and the…read morerestaurant had a really nice vibe -- relaxed but lively. I ordered the tuna tartare with crispy rice and the Mexican shrimp cocktail. The shrimp cocktail was a bit smaller than I expected, and I think the tartare was served with brown rice, which wasn't my favorite, but the fish in both dishes was really fresh and flavorful. I also had a cocktail (can't remember the name, but it had tequila!) that I really enjoyed. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try their tacos since that's what they're known for. It seems like a great spot for casual drinks and bites with friends.

All of them were really good--the cauliflower was probably the biggest surprise--it kind of just looks like a big hunk of cauliflower, but it's smokey, charred, saucy, and scrumptious. I'm not a vegetarian, but I could happily eat that as my meal. The brûlée also felt special with a coffee profile. My husband's old-fashioned was very booze forward--I don't think he minded, but it definitely lacked subtlety. The restaurant is beautiful and the presentation is lovely. My only ring is the service. It was attentive, but it lacked warmth.

But hold on - they have a roster that will leave you full, even if you are a self-professed carnivore. I got a trio of different options and loved every one of them. The prices are reasonable (for this area) as well. I also like the space. It was bright and spacious, with almost an independent coffee shop vibe. If I needed to telework, I could see myself hanging here (but eating tacos instead of sipping lattes). Put away any misconceptions about 'vegan' and try it.

All the tacos are unique and tasty - Braised Mushroom with feta, Creamy Kale & Potatoes, Roasted Beets with ricotta, Roasted Eggplant, Skillet Corn and Cauliflower, Lemon Garlicky Greens, Smoky Collared Greens taco, Butternut Squash with goat cheese and caramelized onions. The only taco that I'm not a big fan of is the Scrambled Egg with Black Beans. It's very bland and the eggs are cold. The new Lunch combos are great - I got the Mushroom Quesadilla with Kale Salad. The Kale Salad had a spicy kick! There's a nice large tank of complimentary ice water instead of the faucet. The hibiscus tea is refreshing and sweetened with honey. The coconut lime aqua fresca is refreshing as well and a nice summer mocktail. I've had the blueberry margharita slushie at the Gtown location and really enjoyed it. Always excited to come back and it's become a staple of my office go-to lunch hot spots!

Fair sized joint with a smallish patio out front. Having perused the menu on the way, I was looking to try something just beyond "staple of cheap Mexican." Sadly, we were presented with brunch menus, so it was a breakfast burrito for me and the breakfast tacos for her. I was remarkably hungry, so the burrito was eaten (and quickly). But truth be told, it's standard Mexican fare made with breakfast ingredients. No more description necessary - you've had this before and you'll have it again. The service was marginally lackluster- if you're not in a big party, you might get shuffled down in prioritization (or at least I thought we were...once ready to leave I did the 'fidget with credit card' trick to get the staff to close us out.

There is metered street parking within a reasonable walking distance. The restaurant has a nice patio and a decent-sized dining area. The staff was friendly enough, but I had a hard time understanding them. This place serves basic Mexican food, including tacos, burritos, bowls, nachos, chips, and salsa. You just pick your protein and toppings. They have asada, chicken, asado, carnitas, and potatoes. Some toppings include shredded cheese, guacamole, salsa, corn, onions, and lettuce. You also have to choose between brown rice, Mexican rice, black beans, and pinto beans. I ordered a chorizo burrito. It took them about 5 minutes to prepare. The burrito was huge. I must say that it was very good. Very tasty and flavorful. It could have been a bit warmer, though. After I ate my burrito, I was full. I really enjoyed my meal here, and I highly recommend checking this place out. They serve some good, fast Mexican food.

They're also generous with their scoops, which I can always appreciate. The place indoors is always clean too. I would skip Chipotle and other Texmex places and go here instead!
