Reading some recent reviews, just wanted to say our experience has been quite good here. Have been twice when we were between waves, and enjoyed the service and the food both times. Ordered and shared tacos and I thought they were tasty and interesting, and the service was excellent on the patio.

Place is decent for dining in. Nice patio style dine in setups. Food very average though. We ordered 5 different dishes and only one of them was worth the money. It's overpriced for the quality they serve.

Nice drinks and nice service too. Place to go on a Saturday night

My girlfriend and I wanted to support a cool looking local spot but were super disappointed. She got a $20 burrito bowl which was an underwhelming mix of flavourless goops. I got 4 tacos for $20. I politely asked if I could have 2 chicken and 2 ancho but the server refused. The chicken was overcooked, dry and flavourless. The soft shell tortillas were very grainy in texture (traditionally these are heated in a pan to avoid this). Finally they were topped with only onion and canned pineapple. It's a shame because we were so excited to check the place out but I wouldn't recommend it.

Was there this past Sunday afternoon. Small space offering about 6-7 tables for 2 and 2 tables of four. All were pretty much taken when we arrived. ☆Ordered the Chirros $6 for about 5 pieces that were maybe 3.5inches long. Tasted pretty good tho. ☆Ordered the Pineapple & Jalapeno Lime soft serve ice cream both in a pineapple, $10 each. Pineapple was alright, the Jalapeno wasn't good at all. The actual pineapples past it's best days long ago. ☆Ordered Pork (Carnitas) tacos, $6 each or 4/$20. Barely 3inches, tasted like the pork was boiled, absolutely zero flavour with an overall wet rag texture/profile. All of the above for $52. Will def not be returning or recommending this place.

Nice decor, but social distancing needed to be better enforced. As well, many things were not offered (such as the advertised pickle Icecream or Icecream in fruit). The drink we did get was good but overpriced.

Social distance is not respected AT ALL! One of the waitresses bumped into us. No one respects the circulation design. It is very small. Despite the patio was full, they offered to accommodate another table for us. No one was wearing masks. Stuff and customers seemed not to bother.👎🏻
