Decided to give it a try as it is across the dress store I came to browse. Great customer service, good prices and delicious tacos de canasta. They play music and have TVs throughout the restaurant. They have an outdoor and indoor section with AC! Good place.

I would like to say that I had my doubts about ordering from here. I did try them before but not on a big order. THEY WERE GREAT!!! They provided salsas, cabbage, and dilled carrots. We didn't know what was the order of the different fillings until later that we opened them and removed all the plastic covering the tacos. I will definitely order again from them.

Food is very fresh and they have GREAT days deals. Since we went on Thursday their special for this day is buy one ceviche of your choice ( Fish, Shrimp or mixed ) and second one free. We ordered one mixed and one fish. Of course they charge you the one that cost more and the second one is free. We had two Micheladas they are GOOD! Not to spicy, just right.. The server is very welcoming and friendly. Only thing is that she tends to forget things that you ask for and she will come back and ask you a out three to four times.‍ Over she is very nice and always had a wonderful smile. The music that was playing was good, only two other tables with customers were there, nutbtge seem to be having fun and liking the music as well. The only bad thing about it, is that they don't have parking, you have to park On the street/metro parking. I advise and recommend to download the parking APP. Per Quarters only give you 3 minutes. I would recommend this place.

Food here and service are very good. My party had the quesadilla (plain) and shrimp tacos. The produce was fresh and the salsa spicy. I liked it.. the spice and the flavor, also their chipotle sauce was tasty. They also have a variety of bottled hot sauces that is served to you and chips with salsa. I opted for an Aguas Frescas of Strawberry and Lime. A bit on the sweet side for me but the ice melts into it and the beverage is very refreshing on a hot day. TIP: They have bathrooms. If you eat here then you don't have to pay a dollar in the Food Court down the street.
