Found this place during NCMF 2013 when we were evacuated Friday night. I thought the food was good (not high-end fare, but tasty and reasonably priced), but the cocktails were what made me come back! I loved the Chocolate-dipped Strawberry Margarita. It was unique, and really good. What's more, my boyfriend was very happy with the price for their Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA ($5!). I will definitely be back, and would recommend this place to my friends.

7/10 for the tacos. Made authentic style with flat top meat that has great flavor and they are very generous. Typical onions and cilantro topping but just the prepacked tortillas, otherwise it would be an 8. The value is good. The beef and al pastor are $3 a piece and you only need two tacos to be full. The Guac is flavorless, so don't bother. Jalapeno margarita is good. Stop in before a game or just when you really want a fulfilling taco.

My wife and I went for lunch today. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful. They even made a bottle of cucumber water for my wife when she asked. The food was great! I really don't care much about the presentation of food, but it was nicely done. I had the chorizo quesadilla, steak taco and fish taco. The quesadillas were good but nothing special. The steak was crispy and well seasoned with no hint of being burnt. The fish taco was something new for me. I wasn't sure how the refried beans would work, but they complimented the fish nicely. My wife had the avocado taco which she said was really good. The shrimp taco was good but not the best she has ever had. We will be going back to explore more of their menu soon!
