I think not enough people appreciate that simple key ingredient, yelps influence for the good of all. We decided Taco Tuesday was the best place to start and we weren't wrong. The Carne Asada tacos were excellent with plenty of delicious meat and fully dressed out in toppings. I tried the Shrimp Taco and the grilled fish Taco and both were primo. The food is made with love, you can quickly tell when you pick up your tray. My wife raved over the carne asada tacos even on the way home. We have found a new place. It's exceptionally clean and well put together. The service staff were very accommodating and kind and were there to please. A good crowd for the early afternoon. Will definitely be back. You cannot go wrong with the establishment.

As a regular, which made today's experience more disappointing…read more I ordered a surf/turf burrito a ceviche tostada and some. When I started eating the burrito, I realized they had given me a regular asada burrito. Iet the staff know, but instead of simply acknowledging the mistake, they asked for my order number and double checked whether I had actually ordered the surf and turf burrito. Being questioned after they made the mistake was BS. Before getting the incorrect burrito, I asked for a few extra cracker packets for my ceviche. The employee was so concerned about charging me an additional dollar for four packets of crackers than making sure my $20 burrito was prepared correctly. I don't mind paying the $1. It was the priority and penny pinching that bothered me, especially after spending around $50 on the meal. They offer an open condiment bar with onions, salsa, and chilies, yet a few crackers became the main concern. The three employees working in front, plus whoever was working in the kitchen, so this did not seem like a situation where one overwhelmed employee simply made an understandable mistake. Mistakes happen, but when they do, the response should be an apology and a quick correction, not questioning a regular customer while focusing on an extra dollar. They need to get their priorities straight. Stop making customers feel like they are trying to get away with something over a few crackers, and start making sure the expensive food they paid for is prepared correctly.

First time here came for lunch Right off the bat as I walked…read morein I was greeted by the cooks which of course is nice. Atmosphere was nice, music was playing. I really came for the Quesobirria tacos I ordered the combo with 3 tacos and rice and beans. Also got a regular drink that did not come with the combo. Total was around $25 which kinda crazy but I understand price for meat has gotten higher so restaurants still need to make a profit. They had three salsa this I have to say was the only downside was that none of them were actually spicy at all. I'm not sure if the one I had was the habanero one that's what it was labeled, but it did not taste nor look like habanero salsa so perhaps they just didn't have that one at the bar. Once I got my plate, it looked great Every taco had a very good portion of meat inside they were nice and seasoned. The meat was not even remotely dry. It was nice and tender and juicy. Tacos were by far the best ones I've had in this area. Their rice and beans were good as well. All in all, I definitely will be coming back. Also, I love that they have outdoor seating.

I thought that this was just a regular casual Mexican restaurant, but once we walked in, I realized…read moreit's more of a place you go to for special occasions. First of all, the decorations are amazing. The first thing that caught our eyes were the hanging lit up butterflies. They really make a statement. Next to them is a tree covered in Christmas lights, and next to that is a lit up aquarium looking thing. Even when I went to the restroom, I noticed that the cement floor had sparkly gold specks and something that looked like the Milky Way. As a vegetarian, I was so happy that the menu had leaf symbols so that I could quickly tell which items I could ask for without meat. The food came out fast. It felt like we had barely ordered them and the waitresses were suddenly coming out with them. The portions were huge, like my sister ordered the grande nachos and it really was grand. It looked like an appetizer that was meant to be shared with a group of people. The food tasted good. I enjoyed my meal so much that as big as it was, I devoured the majority of it and only stopped because I was too full. Towards the end, one of the employees asked if he could take away my plate and even though I knew he wasn't our waitress and it probably wasn't his job, I asked him for boxes instead. When our waitress came to our table to ask if I wanted boxes, the other employee at that moment handed us the boxes. I thought it was nice that the other employee did that for us even though he probably wasn't expected to. Overall, we had a great experience here.

They should've left well enough alone when it used to be an Irish pub same owner I believe and for whatever reason they decided to go with this Mexican Cantina that was just never full of people or really caught on. The prior Irish pub used to have some music and dancing I can't remember maybe on Thursdays or something and it was pretty popular so why they made the change I don't know but now it's permanently closed. Let's get something in here that's well liked and tolerated by everybody that can last a few years instead of every other year there's something new struggling to make it go. Their street tacos and food platters weren't bad and the beer was always cold, it was a quiet place to hide out but I guess that was its downfall sometimes you could be the only one in there or two or three other people and that won't pay the bills in a location that's known for high rent.

Our food arrived pretty quickly after ordering. The staff was friendly and continued to check in on us. I had the spicy cucumber margarita (sooo refreshing!) with a Baja fish taco and a spicy Baja shrimp taco. Both tacos were really good, but the spicy baja shrimp taco was my favorite. We also ordered the fresh chicharrones. The chicharrones were hot and still crackling when they arrived at the table. I especially loved the green aioli salsa that came with the chicharrones. Overall, this is a good place to enjoy some fish/shrimp tacos and margs.

Visited for the first time last night based on the awesome reviews…read more Ordering was a bit odd as the full menu was not up on the screen as you stand in a line for one employee to take your order. The complete menu was next to said employee who stood there patiently while waiting for you to decide on something all while not holding up the line. We settled on 2 taco combos: baja fish and baja shrimp, both on corn tortillas. Then we ordered another set of a la carte tacos, more baja shrimp and fish tacos, but this time on flour. The total came out to $52+ (including CAs seemingly mandatory these days tip). The friendly employee gave us our receipt, order number and beverage cup, and we waited. In contrast to other reviewers apparently short wait times, we sat waiting around a half hour for our take out order to be delivered to us at our table. We headed back home as soon as we got our order and the food held up very nicely. Id say the tacos were delicious and very filing. The battered fish and shrimp in each were generously portioned and the cabbage toppings on each were not only refreshing but eye appealing as well. Although the tacos hit the spot, I have to be honest about the rice and beans, as being an Angelo--if the spot has legit Rice n Beans, then everything else on the menu is spot on. Can't say this holds true for this spot, as it was quite literally the worst rice and beans Ive ever had from an establishment touting Mexican (style) food. I opened the takeout container of rice and was disappointed to say the least, it was just a helping of white rice-- the same as you would get at Chinese takeout. The beans? Even worse than the rice. I sat for a while trying to figure out how to not toss them out, as that would be throwing money away. I'm still pondering.... Go for the tacos, stay clear of the R&B.
