    Cold mediocre tacos and terrible service. Second time here and same result. They forgot our order this time and we spoke with the manager and he completely did not care and said it’s “not his problem”. Date of service was 6pm November 15 at the Water Street location; so the restaurant owner knows which manager to fire. This place sucks. Pathetic.

    I don’t know what is with this location, but if you are seated outdoors they take 30 minutes to even get a server started with you, then another 30 minutes to bring you 2 drinks. It’s so ridiculous and a bummer because their food and drinks are pretty good.
