Unbelievable marinade, beans, rice, some fresh and hot tortillas. It's my favorite lunch. Lengua tacos are also really amazing and don't forget to end it off with some esquites, corn with cheese, lime, and chili powder. It's the most delightful dessert. Don't ever change, Antojitos.

This is the second time I've been to this restaurant. Both times , I've ordered the special which…read moreis usually chicken drumsticks with some sort of delicious sauce. It came with fresh tasting pinto beans, rice and the chicken has been mildly spicy in both cases, but very delicious. This visit the sauce was a type of verde sauce. My waiter was super nice and was very helpful. He explained in great detail the specials of what type of sauce they had on them. This is probably one of the most authentic Mexican restaurants I've ever visited. Don't let the small restaurant size and casual dining atmosphere dissuade you from trying this little gem. It is well worth the visit.

I greatly enjoyed my dinner here this past weekend! We…read moreoriginally tried calling ahead to make a reservation on a Saturday, but found out they do not do reservations for parties less than 10. This was perfectly fine with us, we just got to the restaurant earlier than originally planned since dinner wait times for a Saturday here can range from 20-45 minutes. Do not let this deter you though, the food is worth it. Luckily for us, we only waited about 15 minutes for a table for 4. Once seated, our waitress soon followed with menus and a pitcher of water. She was quite lovely and attentive. To start, we ordered their chips and salsa (although I do highly recommend the street corn if you are feeling something different). The salsa is great and tasted fresh! The chips had a nice texture, but definitely needed the salt we added to the bowl. It did not take long for any of our meals to come out once we ordered. I personally got the carnitas tostadas, which were amazing. I could only eat one cause they were piled high with toppings (and I ate too many chips before). The pork had great flavor and paired well with the other toppings. Warning though, the black beans here are great, but on the spicier side! This caught one of us by surprise at the table. Overall it was a great evening, and we were in and out quickly from the meal. Just be prepared to wait a little for dinner, and plan ahead for parking! And watch out for those beans!

They had one vegetarian option. I will say these are the smallest tacos you have ever seen. The flavor was fine, but nothing outstanding. The chips and salsa were above average.

Because I walked, I didn't know where their parking was located but there is a parking lot in the back and side street. Very cool set up with bar seating. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I would recommend their happy hour. The Margaritas were really good and street tacos were small but filling. I enjoyed them so much I went back a 2nd day. They have outside seating also. I can see a small group coming here and having a great time. I was traveling solo and still had a great time sitting at the bar. It's a great location with the riverwalk in walking distance and you can walk off food if you indulge too much. If in town again, I will be back.

We had Guanabana flavored margaritas on the rocks, and it was surprisingly pretty good! They had a special $20 for a pitcher for 4 ppl. Fajita gumbo was really good and hot!
