    Fish taco horribly mis-spiced, ceviche also borderline unpleasant. But shrimp taco was spot-on, grilled ear of corn also tasty. Service not great. Overall a bit disappointing.

    Overrated, underwhelming, bad Mexican proxy. I'm Mexican and a) We aren't assholes like the guys there; b) Real Mexican food is way better than that; c) We are friendly. Skip this place, trust me

    Food was good but my to-go order took over 20 minutes. If you were hoping for speed, I'd try somewhere else.

    Long line, rude servers, and subpar food. But I keep coming back. One plus- they make off menu items if they have the ingredients.
