    tacos are overpriced and mid. plus they only come with grilled onions and you are upcharged for literally every other individual topping. additionally, i was flat out told "no mocktails" when i attempted to order a virgin mojito. 🙄🗑

    This place is so mediocre that it only caters to a white community. As a Latino, my server was a "No Sabo" Spanish personality. The food was not Mexican; I've traveled to multiple states within Mexico and been treated respectfully in the culture and the food was traditional.

    I've known about this place for years, but finally just got the chance to try it out. It did not dissappoint! I plan to be back in the near future!
