Peter Koval: Steak Taco's... second only to Mexico City. Great for people watching, and being entertained as people get turned away from the downstairs seating area.
Susan S.: This place is too delicious! The steak tacos are so addictive! I love the tortilla soup. The salad is great too. I love that they have quick take away options, a cozy restaurant to stay in, and a bar.
Adriel Barnett: The rib eye steak tacos, I highly recommend it.

Jen Shin: steak tacos were great! perfectly paired with a pomelo jarritos. also get the elote & guac.
Cindy T: If you order anything but tacos here, you're a fool. BEST TACOS EVER!! The short ribs and steak tacos are my faves. Be sure to request (free) double tortilla; otherwise, they can be sloppy to eat.
ᴡ Elliot: Go for the breakfast burrito and a homemade horchata. We stopped in after a long run, made for a perfect Sunday.
