    What a great pop-up experience! We were a little concerned that the 1.5-hour time limit wouldn't be enough, but it ended up being perfect. From the moment we arrived, the festive décor and friendly staff set the mood. We were greeted with our holiday cocktail (so good!). The menu is limited for the pop-up, but the flavor certainly isn't! We ordered the sliders and split the burger--both were incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. We left stuffed! For drinks, we tried the Old Fashioned, the Grinch Punch, and Rudolph's Hot Toddy. All were creative, fun, and strong... no complaints here! Reservations are $15 per person for a 1.5-hour experience and include your first cocktail. Larger groups even get their own igloo

    I was just told about this hidden gem, and had to check it out. It's not obvious that there is a restaurant until you walk towards the dock. I love that they have open seating. With the weather being nice, it's the perfect time to enjoy the nice, large outdoor patio with a view of the lake. Parking was very easy to find since they have a huge lot. The service could be a little bit better. We had empty water cups, but the server didn't notice to refill those for us. I had the shrimp street tacos that come with beans and rice. The taste was overall average, but nothing beats the ambience and vibe of this place. It's the perfect location for families and groups to hangout.

    Shrimp ceviche and chips

    Location Scott's landing Parking Large lot Atmosphere Dockside marina restaurant Large stage for live music Boats can pull up to the dock. Seating ( I haven't checked inside) Low tables and chairs-great for groups Service So friendly and attentive! Menu So many choices! We got the mango shrimp ceviche. So yum! Not all chopped up but sliced shrimp with mango and jalapeño. Served with chips. I was surprised by the chips-they are dark, not much salt but lighter than they appear-yes, addictive! The cat fish bites were 2 fried pieces-large. We had the fries which were really good-some light coating-not heavily salted. Perfect lunch! Summary We love this place. I was really pleased with the generous serving of ceviche-it just kept going! ! Very relaxing afternoon hang out.

    Paloma

    The chips and queso were delicious, as well as the fried pickles. The drinks we well made. I had the Paloma and my wife had vodka sodas with cranberry. Good pours. I saw the food served for other tables, and the food looked good. Service needs to be better though

    Street taco - beef

    I'm leaving 3 stars this time because there is some room for improvement with the food quality. The $18 jalapeno burger barely had any jalapenos on it and the $16 chicken bacon avocado sandwich only had 3 little slivers of avocado. We ordered double spicy margaritas and they brought us the drink with a shot on the side and they charged an extra $10 for a double so our "double margaritas" were $22 each. We also tried the painkiller drink which didn't taste like a traditional one and poor presentation. Still great service and ambience though.

    Cool place. Great atmosphere and staff. We went with our sons and It was cold so they put outdoor heaters on for us which was lovely. I got combo fajitas chicken and steak. The steak was a bit chewy, but overall good flavor. Onion rings were a big hit too. We will go back again sometime.

    We came here for the popup. Very enjoyable. Limited menu but the ham sliders and the smash burger were very tasty. We lucked out and got a good waterside table on a perfect evening. Very good but overpriced special drinks menu. Relaxing and fun.

    Crimson was very helpful waiting us at our table and the food was wonderful the bacon wrapped shrimp I highly recommend

    I've had burritos from this taqueria at least 3 times now, so I feel I can adequately review…read morequality at this point. They aren't as huge as some places, but they definitely aren't small by any means. If anything, they are portioned just right. What I love is the ingredients don't rely too much on "filler" ingredients and are balanced well. If you order a carne asada burrito, you'll get a good portion of not overly cooked meat. Pricing is roughly what you should come to expect as well. The cons (and reason it's not at least a 4 star) are primarily due to their salsa/hot sauces. While I'm happy they included 3 different and decent sized servings, they are all pretty spicy and you get no reprieve trying to switch things up - and this is coming from someone that loves spice. In my opinion it overpowers the food. Just fixing the spice level would take this to a 4 star rating for me. Would I eat here again? Yes, which is usually when I've forgotten how spicy their sauces are :)

    I grabbed some tacos in the drive thru, and they were pretty quick. Service was nice. The tacos…read morewere authentic and not a tex mex style... full of meat and nice size similar to street tacos. Flavor was good and two sauces came with the order. I liked the Carne taco the best. The chicken was tender also. I'll return to try more items again as it's almost great patio weather. It looked inviting and had an open style patio.

I love that it's customizable with the menu so you can build each order how you'd prefer. The food is fresh so it may take a minute for it to come out but not an absurd amount of time.

Customer service is on point, they have a self order option so you can do that or ask all your questions with a team member. Restaurant is always clean.

If you are looking for a step up for Tex Mex, this is a good spot. I wasn't greeted when I first went in but the ordering is super easy and convenient with their kiosk upfront. One of the staff did offer to help me with my order and they assured me they were there to help if I needed it. He was friendly and had a great disposition. I wasn't sure why more people weren't inside eating because the ambiance was nice and I liked how the seating was arranged. There was plenty of space between the tables and chairs and the walls were visually stimulating. I ordered to go and I didn't have to wait too long for the food. I drove about 10 mins to get back to the hotel and the grease from the meat had already solidified. I ordered the carne asada tacos with everything on it and it came with a cup of beans. There was a good amount of meat and toppings for each one. The beans were salty in my opinion but to be fair, I don't eat a lot of salt anyway. The meat was savory and they didn't skimp on the serving size but it was greasy so I tasted that just as much as the meat which was off putting. I ordered it with flour tortillas but they were so thin that it all fell apart when I tried to pick it up so I ended up eating it with a fork! I would try it again but maybe with chicken next time it even their quesadillas. I think it's definitely worth a try though.
