Travel + LeisureMarch 19, 2013Get the beef enchiladas with red chile sauce. The sauce begs to be scooped up with the perfectly fried chips that come warm to the table. More places to eat like a local: tandl.me/12ufz7c
Remember "The Rules". You stand in line, order and _then_ sit down. You individually order 4 food items for take out from the bar and not wait in line.

Shrimp corn chowder! I could chow down a whole bowl of this if they had it, but it only comes in a small bowl. And their tacos so wallet-friendly, get the fish taco
Great authentic tacos, love the fried chicken one. But if you want to takeout, they 1. Don't take phone orders and 2. Make you wait in line if it's more than 4 items.... Blah.
Maddie SwabJune 17, 2014It's a long wait, but totally worth it! Try a taco, enchilada, and dip while you're there!
- I love this place. (but I have to be in the mood to wait in line). Cheese dip is yummy and spicy. Love the memphis tacos and margs!! The view of the skyline is also nice
Creative Loafing AtlantaJanuary 20, 2012Seafood specials can be really special. Old favorites -- spicy turnip greens, jalapeno slaw and carnita tacos -- are still worth saying "ole" to as well. Read more- Clam chowder is so good! and the tacos are so cheap, but the tacos taste can vary
This place is delicious, but their line is shit. I really wish they would develop a better formula for taking orders. The food comes out fast after you order, but your waiting in a line for 40 min.
EidéNovember 15, 2012The fried chicken tacos are a favorite of the Eidé staff (and its only a short drive from our home at the Goat Farm!)
Xitij ShahJanuary 8, 2017Put your name in the list at the bar while waiting in line to have a guaranteed spot when you order
If you have a small group or solo, head to the bar first to get your name on the list. Can save you a half hour in line.
David BerryJuly 24, 2011The fried chicken tacos are amazing! The guac & queso for the chips make the wait well worth it. And the sweet tea was very good too.
Rocko DionAugust 30, 2014I can't help but to order one of everything each time I am in town. Fried chicken taco!!!!!!
Katryna SpearmanOctober 4, 2014My enchilada was so good! The margaritas are also pretty strong & a good price!- If the line to order is too long, you can put your name on the list to sit at the bar and order food and drink there. Unless your timing is very unlucky, that is always quicker.
If I could, I would eat here every day! Its always on point and it's not overpriced. LOVE THIS PLACE!!
Nikki MendezAugust 18, 2015Best fried chicken tacos of my life. Went here once 2 years ago and I haven't stopped talking about it since.
So much better than my last experience. Skip the line, sit at the bar, and all will be good, so so good :)
Jared CallaisJune 5, 2012Get the shrimp corn chowder! The tacos were really good, too. I had the Memphis & Fried Chicken tacos.
Watch out! That single person in line in front of you secretly has a party of 27 that are all late... But will be nonchalantly joining her ahead of you in line as they arrive!!
The fish taco is my fav in town! Simple but fresh and delicious. Also interesting specials each week!
Shrimp and corn chowder is a winner. And hard to go wrong with any of the tacos.
If there are 2 or less in your party, go nab seats at the bar instead of waiting in line. Boo-yah!
Nutty shrimp is where it is at! Whenever they have that special people flock here!
Anthony PaladinoApril 24, 2012Go for the salsa trio, Memphis tacos, and the beef brisket enchiladas with red sauce.

Andre' DennisNovember 14, 2012If you are ordering take out, you can order from the bar. This helps a lot during lunch.
Green Chile Chicken Pot Pie is great, if available.
The best. If you leave without getting a fried chicken taco, you're a fool
Colton GriffinAugust 14, 2014Cheap and delicious tacos! Prepare for the occasional long line though.- You should always note the "Westside" margarita in addition to the "House" and the "Texas". It packs extra octane.
Cinda LottMarch 31, 2012Food is incredible! Service is okay but the food makes up for it. Love the salsa trio.
Sean CraneJanuary 24, 2011Great guac...the rest was meh. The "outside" ambiance would be cool on the beach, but when you're in the middle of midtown with the stink of the city flowing in, it just kills it.
Gregory CoxJanuary 20, 2020Always have loved for the food for over a decade. Cannot deal with the slowly moving line to order food. Couldn’t deal with it 2005 - can’t deal with it in 2020
Catie EvansonJuly 27, 2013Make sure you get a spot at the bar instead of waiting in line. Much faster!
Get the Nutty Shrimp taco when they have them on special
You must order cheese dip and a margarita on the rocks. (I also recommend the fish and nutty shrimp tacos)
