- Monica PaoluzziAugust 21, 2013Start with chips (fresh fried!) salsa and guacamole, then get tacos and fish (I tried both lobster and branzino and they were amazing!). If you prefer meat, ribs are really good too ;) Best mex ever!
Gail HAugust 31, 2012Babyback rib pork taco is a must order. Also the branzino is delish. Very accomodating to make the slaw w/o onions so you know its fresh! Jamon & queso also good but salty. Skip the tamale.
John RobersonJanuary 11, 20152 orders of Carne Asada Tacos and any of the fruit drinks will make an awesome dinner... Random fact this place use to be a shoe 👟 store
311 BallersOctober 27, 2012Chicken tamale was alright..but the star of my life is the Pork and Green Chile stew. So flavorful and just hits the authentic spot
Marjorie RutinelMarch 19, 2013Excelent service! Good food. Try the swrimp burrito with guacamole. Butternut squash soup and the mandarin Charritos soda.
Tasting TableJuly 11, 2012Opt for the pork-and-green-chile stew. Served on a vintage tin platter, it embodies the restaurant’s hip and homey aesthetic: Read more- Andrea TuckerOctober 28, 2012Pork belly tacos, pork rib taco, lobster taco, and the shrimp taco. YUM
Ask for the homemade churros. Not on the menu but delicious, melt in your mouth.- Edlin ChoiSeptember 29, 2012Not as good. But still OK. Prefer the original, just around the corner, when possible. Pork belly is the best there. (2 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Xavier RamirezMarch 21, 2013Weak at best. Tacos cater to Hollywood folk who aren't willing to adventure for the real deal. Saving grace is the BYOB (but I wasn't drinking so...) and that it's two tacos per order.
bryan ValderramaMarch 21, 2014Taco were good but they are very small so be prepared order more sides.
Emilio SmekeJuly 30, 2012Excuse me can I have hot salsa? Sorry we are out!.That to me is not returning to this so called mexican taco place peperoncini instead of diced chiles? come on? food is ok but thought they can improve
