    Great food and great service. On Mondays they have a Nashville hot chicken taco that's delicious. The pork belly taco is out of this world.

    Shrimp tacos were fantastic. Mystery beer for $2 can't be beat. It's usually PBR or High Life, but I've gotten Abita a few times.

    Service can be slow at times. But usually I'm here to relax so it's tolerable. Very good food and the staff is friendly. Reasonably kid-friendly but it's close quarters.

    The braised pork aka pork belly taco is sooooo delish. I could have eaten 5 more. Lol!! A must try is the vegetarian portobello mushroom quesadilla.

    Crave from the Grave: Love both the guacamole and cheese dips! The roasted corn is a must try side item and the adobe skirt steak taco with cotija cheese on corn tortillas is to die for.

    Young goat and beef tongue tacos are Botha extraordinary. So is the quail. And the queso also rocks. Wash it all down with an organic margarita...beats the teeth out of sour mix

    The chorizo quesadilla is amazing, hubby likes the pork belly tortas so much he could eat it every day. The chips are greasy but yummy with the queso dip.

    they always seem to take my favorite things off the menu (first the creamed corn, then the veggie quesadilla). but the guacamole is amazing!

    Tongue tacos (lengua) are great with an organic margarita! Tortilla chips, preferrably with guacamole, are really good.

    When I'm happy I go for drinks on the patio. When I'm sick I go for pozole and tea. When I'm bored I go for chit-chat at the bar. My fave place in EAV.

    Stop in and purchase a koozie for $3.50. The proceeds benefit EAV firestation #13. While there enjoy a couple margaritas and must try their tortas and tacos.
