Anne GoodnowFebruary 14, 2013Really....and I mean REALLY good food. Try Korean BBQ tacos. Very low prices
Angela StevensonMarch 20, 2013One of the best tacos places in town!! Delicious! Very affordable prices ;)
Roger BaldacciJanuary 9, 2013Don't sit at the end of the bar near 39th street. You will get a blast of cold air every time someone opens the door.
The Moroccan lamb on naan taco might be the best taco I've ever eaten.
Amy AndersonJuly 3, 201730 minutes trying to be served. Told the wait for the roof was "20 table so it's good odds", elevator bouncer a d!ck - you'll enjoy if you want to be 'scene' not respected (intertwined with Pod39)
- Good place to work during the day with free WiFi and outlets.
Busy as all hell w/God knows who on Thursday night, but this staff can handle!
J.H.January 3, 2013El pastor was the best of the 4 I tried. Lamb second best. Skirt steak was not exciting.
Jordan MockJanuary 10, 2013Some of the best guacamole in the city. Perfect spice level. And tomatillos?
Sam CMarch 30, 2013Pretty tasty, creative renditions of Mexican street food. Not super authentic but still good. Cool space, but definitely overpriced
Kristy VollJuly 1, 2017The hostess was terrible, the service was great, everything is overpriced and they were out of literally everything at 9pm on a Friday night. I don't have a lot of nice things to say about this place.
Andy WeissmanNovember 23, 2013Just get a mix of the tacos - don't even ask which - get the plates of 3
AshleyJuly 30, 2016Atmosphere was great. There's games to play all around. Service was poor though and the wait was unreasonable.
Destiny ChambersMarch 16, 2013Great fish tacos!!! Try the Salvation Margarita. It will grant u just that.
G Y LeeJune 22, 2013Pig ears what what! Taco feasts are a rip off, u basically get enough for four tacos at double the regular taco order price...
Mandar MAugust 23, 2013At 8 pm on a thu the place was slammmmed ... They need to get rid of half the bar stools so people can walk up and order .. They would make more money too
