I cannot say enough great things about this place! If you have not been for Taco Tuesday after 6:00 when they have the dj, you are missing a total vibe. The wait and bar staff are incredible. Everyone doing their job to the absolute best to ensure the absolute best experience. You have to try the Cheesy Shrimp Birria Tacos.

Came on tacos and margarita Tuesday! Margaritas were great a day had several hood flavor choices. The homemade salsa is AMAZING and has just enough kick. Chicken quesadilla was also excellent even leftover. Regular tacos are also really good! I'll definitely be back when in the area but I'll try their VA Beach location next time.

My first time in this place on a Sunday to get the birria tacos but they have street tacos happy hour so I ordered those instead. The guys treated me very well and even offered me chips and a drink while I waited for my food. I saw this place on social media and I wanted to experience the hype. Food wise I tried the Horchata it was good just a little too much sesame seed flavor for me. Asada taco was a better option than the picadillo taco in my opinion. Homemade tortillas it's what stands out and make the taco much better than your regular taco place.Definitely coming back for my birria tacos.

This Texas girl gives the birria tacos 10/10. Treated me and my husband and four children kindly and didn’t make us feel out of place. Service was attentive and kind. Food was amazing. Salsa is delicious.

Our family tried out the vanilla tacos and other dishes. The tacos were amazing. The chicken, steak, and shrimp fajitas were a bit bland grilled but not seasoned well. They were out of every Margarita flavor except strawberry but the drink itself was good amd actually frozen. The dip for the chips tasted amazing and fresh. It had a good texture, not too chunky amd not runny. I would recommend this place but not the fajitas.

Nice little spot with great drinks and festive environment. It was crowded and there was a non-stop line. The DJ was awesome! Prepare to wait for a seat if you get there after 5:00. The food was inexpensive and so were the drinks.
